NOTE: The SMART ALARM (LM78) SETUP is only avaiable on baseboards with
the optional onboard LM78 chip.
This menu requires that the baseboard contains the optional onboard LM78 hard-
ware monitor chip. Certain hardware components are necessary for the all the smart
alarm features to be available.
NOTE: SETUP Defaults are noted in parenthesis next to each function heading.
Details of Smart Alarm (LM78) Setup
Fan Monitor: CPU1 Fan Speed / CPU2 Fan Speed / Power Fan Speed (xxxxRPM)
The onboard hardware monitor is able to detect the Chassis Fan Speed, CPU Fan
Speed, and the Power Supply Fan Speed in Rotations Per Minute (RPM). These
values refresh upon any key entry in the BIOS setup screens. Set to Ignore if one of
these are not used so that error messages will not be given.
Thermal Monitor: MB Temperature (xxxC/xxxF)
The onboard hardware monitor can detect the baseboard temperatures. These values
refresh upon key entries. Set to Ignore only if necessary.
Voltage Monitor: VCORE, +3.3V, +5V, +12V, -12V, -5V (+/- xx.xV)
The onboard hardware monitor can detect the voltages put out by the voltage regu-
lators. These values refresh upon key entries. Set to Ignore only if necessary.
NOTE: If any of the monitored items are out of range during system bootup, you
will be prompted by this message: “Hardware Monitor found an error, enter POWER
MANAGEMENT SETUP for details.” The bottom of the screen will instruct you to
“Press F1 to continue, DEL to enter SETUP.”
