Introduction
low, fan failure and chassis intrusion. (Utilizing chassis intrusion requires
a microswitch to be attached between the chassis and the JL1 header on
the motherboard.)
Chassis Intrusion Detection
The chassis intrusion circuitry can detect unauthorized intrusion to the sys-
tem. The chassis intrusion connector is located on JL1. Attach a
microswitch to JL1. When the microswitch is closed, it means that the
chassis has been opened. The circuitry will then alert the user with a
warning message when the system is turned on. This feature is available
when the user is running SUPERMICRO's Super Doctor utility.
Hardware BIOS Virus Protection
The system BIOS is protected by hardware so that no virus can infect the
BIOS area. The user can only change the BIOS content through the flash
utility provided by SUPERMICRO. This feature can prevent viruses from
infecting the BIOS area and destroying valuable data.
Auto-Switching Voltage Regulator for the CPU Core
The auto-switching voltage regulator for the CPU core can support up to
20A current and auto-sense voltage IDs ranging from 1.3V to 3.5V. This
will allow the regulator to run cooler and thus make the system more stable.
1-4 ACPI/PC 98 Features
ACPI stands for Advanced Configuration and Power Interface. The ACPI
specification defines a flexible and abstract hardware interface that pro-
vides a standard way to integrate power management features throughout
a PC system, including its hardware, operating system and application soft-
ware. This enables the system to automatically turn on and off peripherals
such as CD-ROMs, network cards, hard disk drives and printers. This also
includes consumer devices connected to the PC such as VCRs, TVs, tele-
phones and stereos.
In addition to enabling operating system-directed power management, ACPI
provides a generic system event mechanism for Plug and Play and an oper-
ating system-independent interface for configuration control. ACPI lever-
ages the Plug and Play BIOS data structures while providing a processor
architecture-independent implementation that is compatible with Windows
