Warning” function, provided by the H/W monitoring system, the
double-protection purpose is achieved.
“FOC” includes the following functions:
(1) Simultaneous Signal Follow Ups
:
Before the system enters the O/S,
H/W will detect the signals of the CPU fan pins, get their revolution
information and send it to the BIOS.
(2) Auto Power Off System: If the BIOS receives the information of CPU
fan revolution, it continues to function normally. If no signal is received,
it will inform the system and disconnects the power supply immediately
to protect the CPU from overheating.
Note
:
The following must be observed to secure the normal functioning of
“Fan-Off Control”:
1. FOC only works on CPUFAN 1.
2. CPU fan with sensor pins must be used.
3. CPU fans approved by AMD are strongly recommended.
The “HOT KEY” function is provided for the CPU fans without sensor pins, to
avoid the power off. Users may press the “Insert” key to jump over the “Power
Off” mode; go to the BIOS and disable “FOC”. Now system can be booted
normally.
We provide the following user-friendly protection features:
1. Fan-Off Control:
The motherboard detects the status of the CPU fan and
protects the CPU by automatically disconnecting the power supply. The
default value of this function is Enable. After booting up, the user may
disable it.
2. Heat Dissipation Paste: Heat Dissipation Paste is included for all
Socket-A motherboards, to enhance the heat dissipation capability.
Furthermore, we strongly recommend our users to enable the function of H/W
monitoring in the BIOS. This function, together with the FOC, provides the total
protection to the CPU and allows it to maximize its performance.
Note:
FOC will only work during BOOT-up. Once the system enters the
operating system, FOC will be disable.
