1-3 Special Features
Recovery from AC Power Loss
BIOS provides a setting for you to determine 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 hit the power switch to turn it
back on) or for it to automatically return to a power- on state. See the Power Lost
Control setting in the Advanced BIOS Setup section to change the setting. The
default setting is Last State .
1-4 PC Health Monitoring
This section describes the PC health monitoring features of the X7DWA-N. All
have an onboard System Hardware Monitor chip that supports PC health moni-
toring.
Onboard Voltage Monitors for the CPU Cores, Chipset Voltage,
Memory Voltage, +1.8V, +3.3V, +5V, +12V, -12V, +3.3V Standby,
+5V Standby and Vbat
An onboard voltage monitor will scan these voltages continuously. Once a volt-
age becomes unstable, a warning is given or an error message is sent to the
screen.
Fan Status Monitor with Firmware Control
The PC health monitor can check the RPM status of the cooling fans. The onboard
CPU and chassis fans are controlled by Thermal Management via BIOS (under
Hardware Monitoring in the Advanced Setting).
Environmental Temperature Control
The thermal control sensor monitors the CPU temperature in real time and will
increase fan speed whenever the CPU temperature reaches a user-defi ned
threshold. The onboard 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
When the power is turned on, the CPU fan becomes active. It stops to operate
when the system enters Standby mode. When in sleep mode, the CPU will not
run at full power, thereby generating less heat.
CPU Overheat LED
This feature is available when the user enables the CPU overheat warning function
in the BIOS. This allows the user to defi ne an overheat temperature threshold.
When the CPU temperature reaches the user-predefi ned threshold, the warning
LED is activated.
