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 tosee a passive security  
system of monitoring and warning. S/WSimultaneous Signal Follow-ups techniques andAuto Power Off  
System are included to prevent all possible damage caused by the malfunctioning of the CPU fan. With the  
help of “O/S OnTime MonitoringAndWarning” function, provided by the H/Wmonitoring 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/Wwill 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 signalis received, it will inform the systemand 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 byAMD are strongly recommended.  
The “HOTKEY” 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-Amotherboards, 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.

Quick BIOS Setup  
This motherboard does not use any hardware jumpers to set the CPU frequency. Instead, CPU settings  
are software configurable with the BIOS [SOYO COMBO FEATURE]. The [SOYO COMBO  
FEATURE] combines the main parameters that you need to configure, all in one menu, for a quick  
setup in BIOS.  
After the hardware installation is complete, turn the power switch on, then press the <DEL> key during the  
system diagnostic checks to enter the Award BIOS Setup program. The CMOS SETUP UTILITY will be  
shown on the screen. Then, follow these steps to configure the CPU settings.  
Step 1. Select [STANDARD CMOS SETUP]  
Set [Date/Time] and [Floppy drive type], then set [Hard Disk Type] to “Auto”.  
Step 2. Select [LOAD OPTIMIZED DEFAULTS]  
Select the “LOAD OPTIMIZED DEFAULTS” menu and type “Y” at the prompt to load the BIOS optimal  
setup.  
Step 3. Select [SOYO COMBO FEATURE]  
Set the [CPU Frequency Select] to 100/133MHz, depending on the Front Side Bus of your CPU.  
To overclock your CPU’s Front Side Bus, [Frequency 1MHz Stepping] enables you to overclock in  
1MHz increment or you can input the desired FSB value of the CPU.  
Set the [DRAM Clock] to 100/133/166 MHz or By SPD, depending on the DDR Clock. If you overclock  
your CPU’s Front Side Bus, it overclocks your DDR Clock as well.  
Note: The maximum FSB you can overclock for a 100MHz FSB CPU is 132MHz and 233MHz for  
133MHz FSB CPU.  
DDRAM clock speed should not be lower than the CPU speed. Ex, if you have a 133MHz FSB  
CPU, BIOS will not have 100MHz option in the DRAM clock.  
SOYO is not responsible for damage done in your CPU or system instability due to  
overclocking.  
Step 4. Select [SAVE & EXIT SETUP]  
Press <Enter> to save the new configuration to the CMOS memory, and continue the boot sequence.

Audio Issue  
How can I disable the on-boardAudio?  
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 ISAsound card, please make sure the IRQ needed for the sound card is  
set to 'Legacy ISA' in the BIOS. In other word, if your ISAsound 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.
