Environment Temperature Control
The thermal control sensor will monitor the real-time CPU temperature. It will
turn on the back-up fan whenever the CPU temperature goes over the user-
defined threshold. The overheat circuitry runs independently from the CPU.
It can still monitor the overheat condition even if the CPU is in sleep mode.
Once it detects that the CPU temperature is too high, it will automatically turn
on the back-up fan to prevent any overheat damage to the CPU. The on-
board 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 will turn on when the power is on. It can be turned off when
the CPU is in sleep mode. When the CPU is in sleep mode, it will not run at
full power, thereby generating less heat. For power saving purposes, the
user has the option to shut down the CPU fan.
CPU Overheat Alarm, LED and Control in P6DGS/P6DGE/
P6DGU/P6SGU
This feature is available when the user enables the CPU overheat warning
function in the BIOS. The overheat alarm will activate when the CPU tem-
perature exceeds the temperature configured by the user. When the over-
heat alarm is activated both the overheat fan and LED are triggered.
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 micro-
switch to JL1. When the micro-switch 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 Intel's LANDesk Client Manager, and SUPERMICRO's Super
Doctor.
System Resource Alert
This feature is available when used with Intel's LANDesk Client Manager.
The user can be notified of certain system events. For example, if the
system is running low on virtual memory, the hard drive space is not enough
to save the data, you are then alerted of the potential problems.
