1-3 Special Features
Recovery from AC Power Loss
The Basic I/O System (BIOS) provides a setting that determines 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 press the power switch
to turn it back on), or for it to automatically return to the power-on state. See the
Advanced BIOS Setup section for this setting. The default setting is
Last State .
1-4 System Health Monitoring
This motherboard has an onboard Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) that
supports system health monitoring, and it will scan the following onboard voltages
continuously: +1.05V, 1.5V, +3.3V, 3.3VSB, +5V, +5V Standby, +12V, chipset,
memory, CPU1/2 vcores, and battery voltages. Once a voltage becomes unstable,
a warning is given, or an error message is sent to the screen. The user can adjust
the voltage thresholds to define the sensitivity of the voltage monitor.
Fan Status Monitor with Firmware Control
The onboard Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) can check the RPM status
of a cooling fan. The onboard CPU and chassis fans are controlled by the IPMI
2.0 interface.
Environmental Temperature Control
The BMC monitors the CPU temperature in real time and will turn on the thermal
control fan whenever the CPU temperature exceeds a user-defined threshold.
Once it detects that the CPU temperature is too high, it will automatically turn on
the thermal fan control to prevent the CPU from overheating. The onboard chassis
thermal circuitry can monitor the overall system temperature and alert the user when
the chassis temperature is too high.
Note : To avoid possible system overheating, please be sure to provide
adequate airflow to your system.
System Resource Alert
This feature is available when used with SuperDoctor® 5. SuperDoctor 5 is
used to notify the user of certain system events. For example, you can configure
SuperDoctor 5 to provide you with warnings when the system/CPU temperatures,
CPU voltages and fan speeds go beyond a predefined range.
