Introduction
ATI Graphics Controller (S2QE6 only)
The S2QE6 has an integrated ATI video controller based on the Rage XL
graphics chip. The Rage XL is the first accelerator in the world to provide
integrated support for digital flat panel monitors. It contains 8 MB VGA
memory and fully supports sideband addressing. Working with system
memory, this onboard graphics package can provide a bandwidth of up to 1
GB/sec over a 64-bit interface.
1-4 PC Health Monitoring
This section describes the PC health monitoring features of the SUPER
S2QR6/S2QE6. The board has an onboard System Hardware Monitor chip
that supports PC health monitoring.
Eight Onboard Voltage Monitors for the CPU Cores, Chipset
Voltage, +2.5V, +3.3V,
+++++
5V and
+++++
12V
The onboard voltage monitor will scan these eight 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.
Four-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.
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.
