Introduction
Hardware Monitoring System Utility
The mainboard comes with the Hardware Monitoring System utility contained
on the CD. It is capable of monitoring the system’s hardware conditions such
as the temperature of the processor, voltage, and the speed of both the CPU
and chassis fans. You are allowed to manually set a range to the items being
monitored. If the values are over or under the set range a warning message
will automatically pop up. We recommend that you use the Default Settings,
which are the ideal settings that will maintain the system in a good working
condition. To install this utility, please insert the CD into the CD-ROM drive.
The auto run screen (Driver Utility) will automatically appear. Click the Hard-
ware Monitoring button, choose the chipset, model number and the OS that is
installed. Please refer to the CD “Readme” file for further installation instruc-
tions.
Note: Only use this utility in Windows operating systems.
The mainboard is capable of monitoring the following health conditions of your
system:
1. Processor temperature. It has an overheat alarm.
2. VCORE/3.3V/5V/12V/-12V voltages and failure alarm.
3. Processor and chassis fan speeds. It has a failure alarm for these fans.
4. Read back capability that displays temperature, voltage and fan speed.

function. The 5V SB power source of your power supply must be at least
720mA.

The mainboard is designed to meet the ACPI (Advanced Configuration and
Power Interface) specification. ACPI has energy saving features that support
OS Direct Power Management (OSPM) for round the clock PC operation.
