power switch to turn it back on) or for it to automatically return to a power

1-4 PC Health Monitoring
This section describes the PC health monitoring features of the SUPER
S2DL3/370DL6/370DL3/370DLE. Both have an onboard System Hardware
Monitor chip that supports PC health monitoring.
Seven Onboard Voltage Monitors for the CPU Core, Chipset
Voltage, +5V and +12V
The onboard voltage monitor will scan these seven voltages continuously. Once
a voltage becomes unstable, it will give a warning or send an error message to
the screen. Users can adjust the voltage thresholds to define the sensitivity of
the voltage monitor.
Fan Status Monitor with Firmware/Software On/Off Control
The PC health monitor can check the RPM status of the cooling fans. The
onboard 3-pin CPU and chassis fans are controlled by the power management
functions. The thermal fan is controlled by the overheat detection logic.
Environmental Temperature Control
The thermal control sensor monitors the CPU temperature in real time and will
turn on the thermal control fan whenever the CPU temperature exceeds a user-
defined threshold. The overheat circuitry runs independently from the CPU. It
can continue to monitor for overheat conditions even when the CPU is in sleep
mode. Once it detects that the CPU temperature is too high, it will automatically
turn on the thermal control fan to prevent any overheat damage to the CPU. The
onboard chassis thermal circuitry can monitor the overall system temperature
and alert users when the chassis temperature is too high.
CPU Fan Auto-Off in Sleep Mode
The CPU fan activates when the power is turned on. It can be turned off when
the CPU is in sleep mode. When in sleep mode, the CPU will not run at full
power, thereby generating less heat.
