Recovery from AC Power Loss
The BIOS provides a setting that allows you to determine how your system
will respond when AC power is lost and then restored. You can choose
for the system to remain powered off (in which case you must activate the
power switch to turn it back on) or for it to return automatically to a power-
on state. See the Power Lost Control setting in the BIOS chapter of this
manual to change this setting. The default setting is "Always OFF."
1-3 Special Features
Adaptec Raptor RAID Controller (P4DC6+ only)
The P4DC6+ includes a Raptor RAID controller to offer the high degree of
fault tolerance required by today's servers. A SO-DIMM socket is included
on the motherboard to plug a Raptor adapter card (not included) into, which
eliminates the need to use up a PCI slot to have RAID capability. The Raptor
RAID controller and adaptor utilizes a 64-bit bus, provides 0, 1, 0/1, 5, and
0/5 RAID levels and supports S.M.A.R.T. and SES/SAF-TE.
1-4 PC Health Monitoring
This section describes the PC health monitoring features of the SUPER
P4DC6/P4DC6+ motherboard.
Nine Onboard Voltage Monitors for the CPU Cores, CPU I/O,
+3.3v,

5v,
± ± ± ± ±
12v, 3v Battery and 5v System Bus
The onboard voltage monitor will scan these nine 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.
Three-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 manage-
ment functions. The thermal fan is controlled by the overheat detection
logic.
