Vig430P Motherboard Manual

Bits Per Second 

This item sets the transmission speed for a serial port used in Console 
Redirection. Make sure that the same speed is used in the host computer 
and the client computer. A lower transmission speed may be required for 
long and busy lines. The options are 9600, 19200, 57600, and 115200 (bits 
per second). 

 

 

Flow Control 

This feature allows the user to set the flow control for Console Redirection 
to prevent data loss caused by buffer overflow. Send a "Stop" signal to stop 
sending data when the receiving buffer is full. Send a "Start" signal to start 
sending data when the receiving buffer is empty. The options are None, 
Hardware RTS/ CTS, and Software Xon/Xoff. 

 
 

Hardware Health Configuration 

This feature allows the user to monitor system health and review the status of each item as 
displayed 
 

 

Fan Speed Control Mode 

This feature allows the user to set the fan speed mode. Select Optimal to reduce fan speed 
for optimal power saving. Select Full Speed for the fan to run at the full speed which will 
increase power consumption. The options are Standard, Full Speed and Optimal. 

 

 

CPU Temperature Display Mode 

This feature displays the CPU temperature detected by DTS (i.e., +34oC) or temperature 
status in text ("Low", "Medium" or "High"). The options are Text Mode or DTS. 

 

 

CPU 1 Temperature/CPU 2 Temperature 

The CPU Temperature feature will display the CPU temperature status as detected by the 
BIOS: 
 

o

 

Low 

 

This level is considered as the 'normal' operating state. The CPU temperature is 
well below the CPU 'Temperature Tolerance'. The motherboard fans and CPU will 
run normally as configured in the BIOS (Fan Speed Control). 

 

o

 

Medium

 

The processor is running warmer. This is a 'precautionary' level and generally 
means that there may be factors contributing to this condition , but the CPU is still 
within its normal operating state and below the CPU 'Temperature Tolerance'. The 
motherboard fans and CPU will run normally as configured in the BIOS. The fans 
may adjust to a faster speed depending on the Fan Speed Control settings 

 

o

 

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
