3-8. PC Health Status
You can set the warning and shutdown temperatures for your computer system, and you can check the fan
speeds and power supply voltages of your computer system. The features are useful for monitoring all the
important parameters within your computer system. We call it the
PC Health Status .
Figure 3-9. PC Health Status Screen Shot
CPU protect for CPUFan Off:
Two options are available: Disabled or Enabled. The default setting is Disabled . When you set to the
Enabled , if the CPU fan is not rotating, the system will immediately shutdown until you replace or repair
the CPU fan.
This item can let the BIOS detect whether the processor fan is rotating or not. If the CPU fan is not
rotating when the system boots, the BIOS will force the system to shutdown. If the CPU fan is working
well, the system will operate normally. If the CPU fan suddenly stops rotating during use, the BIOS is
unable to shutdown the system. Therefore, it is still best to use another application which can monitor and
shutdown the system under the operating system. The BIOS only monitors this situation under the boot
sequence.
All Voltages, Fans Speed and Thermal Monitoring:
These items list the current states of the CPU and environment (using TCPU1 and TSYS1 to detect them.)
temperatures as well as fan speeds (CPU fan and chassis fan). It can not be changed by the user.
The following items list the voltage states of the system power. It is also unchangeable.
Note
The hardware monitoring features for temperatures, fans and voltages will occupy the I/O address
from 294H to 297H. If you have a network adapter, sound card or other add-on cards that might use
those I/O addresses, please adjust your add-on card I/O address, to avoid the use of those addresses.
