Introduction
Firmware Hub (FWH)
The FWH is a component that brings added security and managability to the
PC platform infrastructure. This device includes an integrated Random Num-
ber Generator (RNG) to enable stronger encryption, digital signing and se-
curity protocols. The FWW stores the system BIOS and video BIOS, which
eliminates a redundant nonvolatile memory component.
Suspend to RAM (STR)
When the system goes into a deep sleep (S3) state, power is removed from
most of the system components but remains supplied to RAM to quickly
restore the system to its previous state of operation. Because system
restoration happens in only ~5 seconds, applications that were open before
the sleep state can be reopened for immediate access. In STR, all data in
system memory is stored in RAM when the system is suspended and sys-
tem power is turned off (the power supply fan also shuts off). You must
be running ACPI for this feature to take effect. See page 1-19 for details on
initiating ACPI. All drivers and add-on cards must be ACPI supported for
STR to function.
Recovery from AC Power Loss
BIOS provides a setting for you to determine how the system will respond
when AC power is lost and then restored to the system. You can choose
for the system to remain powered off (in which case you must hit the
power switch to turn it back on) or for it to automatically return to a power
on state. See the Power Loss Control setting in BIOS on page 4-20 of this
manual to change this setting. The default setting is Always OFF.
1-3 PC Health Monitoring
This section describes the PC health monitoring features of the SUPER
370SWD/370SWT/370SWM . All have an onboard System Hardware Moni-
tor chip that supports PC health monitoring.
Seven Onboard Voltage Monitors for the CPU Core, Chipset
Voltage, +3.3V,

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
