Supero Doctor III Interface Display Screen  (Health Information)

SuperDoctor III

The SuperDoctor

®

 III program is a Web base management tool that supports remote 

management capability. It includes Remote and Local Management tools. The local 

management is called SD III Client. The SuperDoctor III program included on the 

CD-ROM that came with your serverboard allows you to monitor the environment 

and operations of your system. SuperDoctor III displays crucial system information 

such as CPU temperature, system voltages and fan status. See the Figure below 

for a display of the SuperDoctor III interface.

Note:

 The default User Name and Password for SuperDoctor III is ADMIN / ADMIN.

Note:

 When SuperDoctor is fi rst installed, it adopts the temperature threshold set-

tings that have been set in BIOS. Any subsequent changes to these thresholds 

must be made within SuperDoctor, as the SuperDoctor settings override the BIOS 

settings. To set the BIOS temperature threshold settings again, you would fi rst need 

to uninstall SuperDoctor.
