About InforManager™
The system is equipped with InforManager™ (IFM), a special feature
consisting of both hardware and software designed to monitor and report
the operation status of the system and its devices: CPUs, power supplies,
RAM, ambient temperatures, voltages, and fan operation.
A microcontroller chip embedded on the system board checks the
performance of various devices installed in the computer as well as their
temperature and voltage levels.
The touchscreen LCD on the front panel is programmed with fully
functioning menu screens, allowing access to all system functions.

System Information
To access any menu screen, gently touch the icon of the device you wish to
see. The LCD will then display the status or a sub-menu of the device. You
can also scroll through the menu screens by touching the highlighted
arrows at the bottom of the LCD.
As an energy-saving feature, the LCD screen automatically goes “blank”
(sleep mode) after five minutes of inactivity. A touch anywhere on the
screen will bring the display back on.
Important!
To ensure data integrity and
optimum performance of the
IFM, access and operation
of the LCD should be
restricted to qualified
personnel.
Note:
The LCD energy-saving
feature is preset and cannot
be changed or disabled.
