1-3 PC Health Monitoring
This section describes the PC health monitoring features of the X9SPV-M4 Mother-
board. These motherboards have an onboard System Hardware Monitor chip that
supports PC health monitoring.
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 BIOS chapter of this manual to change this setting. The default set-
ting is
Last State
.
Onboard Voltage Monitoring
The onboard voltage monitor will scan the following voltages continuously: Vcore_
CPU, BAT, 3.3V, 3VSB, 5V, 12V, VDIMM, VCC_SA. Once a voltage becomes
unstable, it will give a warning or send an error message to the screen. The User
can adjust the voltage thresholds to define the sensitivity of the voltage monitor
by using SD III.
Fan Status Monitor with Software
The PC health monitor can check the RPM status of the cooling fans via Supero
Doctor III.
