1.4 System Health Monitoring
This section describes the health monitoring features of the X12STW-F/TF motherboard. The
motherboard has an onboard System Hardware Monitoring chip that supports system health
monitoring.
Onboard Voltage Monitors
An onboard voltage monitor will scan the voltages of the onboard chipset, memory, CPU,
and battery continuously. Once a voltage becomes unstable, a warning is given, or an error
message is sent to the screen.
Fan Status Monitor with Firmware Control
The BMC monitors system health and constantly checks the status of the cooling fans for
normal operation. Both the CPU and chassis fans are controlled by the BMC.
Environmental Temperature Control
The CPU fan is always on, not dependent on any user-defined threshold. The CPU fan speed
is adjusted automatically according to the CPU temperature to prevent overheating.
Note
: To avoid possible system overheating, please provide adequate airflow to your
system.
System Resource Alert
This feature is available when used with SuperDoctor 5
®
in the Windows OS or in the Linux
environment. SuperDoctor is used to notify the user of certain system events. For example,
you can configure SuperDoctor to provide you with warnings when the system temperature,
CPU temperatures, voltages and fan speeds go beyond a predefined range.
