threshold. The overheat circuitry runs independently from the CPU. Once it detects
that the CPU temperature is too high, it will automatically turn on the thermal fan
control 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.

System Resource Alert
This feature is available when used with Supero Doctor III in the Windows OS envi-
ronment or used with the Supero Doctor II in Linux. Supero Doctor is used to notify
the user of certain system events. For example, you can also configure Supero Doc-
tor to provide you with warnings when the system temperature, CPU temperatures,
voltages and fan speeds go beyond a pre-defined range.

ACPI Features
ACPI stands for Advanced Configuration and Power Interface. The ACPI specifica-
tion defines a flexible and abstract hardware interface that provides a standard way
to integrate power management features throughout a PC system, including its hard-
ware, operating system and application software. This enables the system to auto-
matically turn on and off peripherals such as CD-ROMs, network cards, storage
drives and printers.
In addition to enabling operating system-directed power management, ACPI pro-
vides a generic system event mechanism for Plug and Play and an operating system-
independent interface for configuration control. ACPI leverages the Plug and Play
BIOS data structures while providing a processor architecture-independent imple-
mentation that is compatible with Windows XP, Windows 2003 and Windows 2008
and Windows Vista Operating Systems.
