Fan Speed Control settings. User intervention: No action is required. However,
consider checking the fans and the chassis ventilation for blockage.
• High – The processor is running hot. This is a ‘caution’ level since the CPU’s
‘Temperature Tolerance’ has been reached (or has been exceeded) and may
activate an overheat alarm. The system may shut down if it continues for a long
period to prevent damage to the CPU.
User intervention: If the system buzzer and Overheat LED has activated, take action
immediately by checking the system fans, chassis ventilation and room temperature
to correct any problems.
Notes :
1. The CPU thermal technology that reports absolute temperatures (Cel-
sius/Fahrenheit) has been upgraded to a more advanced feature by Intel in its
newer processors. The basic concept is each CPU is embedded by unique tem-
perature information that the motherboard can read. This ‘Temperature
Threshold’ or ‘Temperature Tolerance’ has been assigned at the factory and
is the baseline on which the motherboard takes action during different CPU
temperature conditions (i.e., by increasing Fan speed, triggering the Overheat
Alarm, etc.). Since CPUs can have different ‘Temperature Tolerances’, the
installed CPU can now send information to the motherboard what its ‘Tem-
perature Tolerance’ is, and not the other way around. This results in better
CPU thermal management.
Supermicro has leveraged this feature by assigning a temperature status to
certain thermal conditions in the processor (Low, Medium and High). This
makes it easier for the user to understand the CPU’s temperature status,
rather than by just simply seeing a temperature reading (i.e., 25°C). The
information provided above is for your reference only. For more information
on thermal management, please refer to Intel’s Web site at www.Intel.com.
System Temperature:
The system temperature will be displayed (in degrees in Celsius and Fahrenheit) as it
is detected by the BIOS.
Fan Speed Readings
This feature displays the fan speed readings from Fan1 through Fan8.
