Note: If the fan is defective or power connector is not connected to CPUFAN1, the system will enable Fan
Off Control function. See below for more information on FOC function.
10
SY-KT333 DRAGON Lite
Quick Start Guide
FOC (Fan-Off Control)
The newly designed SOYO “FOC” is based on the concept of total protection for CPU, which is very
different from currently seen on the market. The H/W control function is used to see a passive security
system of monitoring and warning. S/W Simultaneous Signal Follow-ups techniques and Auto Power Off
System are included to prevent all possible damage caused by the malfunctioning of the CPU fan. With the
help of “O/S On Time Monitoring And 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.
Installation
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.

Step 3. Configure Memory
Your board comes with three DIMM sockets, providing support for up to 3GB of main memory using
unbuffered and non-ECC DIMM modules from 64MB to 1GB. On this motherboard, DRAM speed can
be set independent from the CPU front side bus speed. Depending on the DRAM clock speed setting in
the BIOS setup, appropriate memory modules must be used. For 100MHz DRAM speed, use
PC1600 memory; for 133MHz DRAM speed, use PC2100 memory; for 166 MHz DRAM speed, use
PC2700 memory.

VGA Issue
I cannot set my VGA to go higher than 16 color (640x 480).
1. Make sure that you have installed the VIA 4 in 1 driver.
2. Install/ re-install the VGA driver.
After wake-up from Suspend to RAM or Standby mode, the screen has no display but
I can hear the hard disk operating
1. Install VIA 4 in 1 driver.
2. Check the VGA card manufacturer for driver update, or make sure the VGA card
support Suspend to Ram function.
Audio Issue
How can I disable the on-board Audio?
Go to the SOYO Combo Feature in the BIOS setup, then set the “onboard 4CH H/W audio”
to disable.
I cannot get the sound working on my system.
1. Check if the speaker wire is connected to the line out connector in the M/B.
2. Check if the speaker power is powered on.
3. Install the audio driver supplied on our driver disc.
4. Check BIOS setup if “onboard 4CH H/W audio” is enabled.
5. If sound already installed, check our website for audio driver update.
The sound is working in my system, but when I play CD music from the CD-ROM, I
do not get any sound. What is wrong?
This is because the 3-wire audio cable from the CD-ROM to the on-board CDIN1 connector
in the M/B is not connected. See manual for location of CDIN1.
The sound from my sound card is distorted when Windows start. What is wrong?
If you are using an ISA sound card, please make sure the IRQ needed for the sound card is
set to 'Legacy ISA' in the BIOS. In other word, if your ISA sound card takes IRQ5, then set
IRQ5 to 'Legacy ISA'.
The sound and everything else works fine except that the recorder and microphone do
not work. What is wrong?
1. Please go to sound properties and check if the recorder and microphone in the are
enabled.
2. Check if Microphone is ok.
