Desktop Management Interface (DMI)
The mainboard comes with a DMI 2.0 built into the BIOS. The DMI
utility in the BIOS automatically records various information about
your system configuration and stores this information in the DMI
pool, which is a part of the mainboard's Plug and Play BIOS. DMI,
along with the appropriately networked software, is designed to
make inventory, maintenance and troubleshooting of computer
systems easier.
2.1.2 System Health Monitor Functions
The mainboard is capable of monitoring the following system health
conditions.
Monitors CPU/system temperature and overheat alarm
Monitors CPU/3.3V/±5V/±12V/VBAT/5VSB voltages and failure
alarm
Monitors the fan speed of the CPU/chassis fan and failure alarm
Automatic chassis fan on/off control
Read back capability that displays temperature, voltage and fan
speed
If you want a warning message to pop-up when an abnormal
condition occurs, you must install the Hardware Monitor utility. This
utility is included in the CD that came with the mainboard.
