The following gives a brief description of utility software found on the bundled CD-ROM
"IPC-SLIB-01". For detailed information and usage, refer to the help file in IPC-SLIB-01.
Hardware monitor Utility MTView
MTView is a utility to monitor the following items using the hardware monitor and SMART features:
- CPU temperature
- MB temperature
- Rotational speed of CPU fan
- Rotational speed of SYSTEM fan
- SMART information
You should set threshold values for the above items in advance (except for SMART information items).
If the system becomes abnormal with any of the threshold values exceeded, the utility can take the
following reaction while recording that condition to the system event log:
- Shut down the system
- Reboot the system
- Start the application
Monitoring is performed with MTView up and running. Once started, MTView accesses the hardware
monitors periodically at user-specified time intervals to check various states.
You can use API functions as well as MTView to access the hardware monitors. For details, refer to the
help file in IPC-SLIB-01.
RTC utility RTCSync
This product contains a high-precision RTC (hereafter the master RTC) as well as the ICH4 integrated
RTC. While the ICH4 integrated RTC is managed by the OS, the master RTC is independent of the OS.
You can use the RTCSync utility to access the master RTC.
RTCSync is intended to read the time from the master RTC and set it as the system clock for the OS
(collectively referred to as synchronization). This synchronization can be executed either manually via
a setup dialog box or automatically at a specific time pre-set by the scheduling function.
