The CPU must be kept cool by using a CPU fan with heatsink.
Without sufficient air circulation across the CPU and heatsink, the
CPU will overheat damaging both the CPU and system board.
The CPU Fan Protection function supported by the system board
has the capability of monitoring the CPU fan during system boot-up
and will automatically power-off the system once it has detected that
the CPU fan did not rotate. This preventive measure has been
added to protect the CPU from damage and insure a safe comput-
ing environment.
To use the CPU Fan Protection function, please follow the steps
below.
1. Before you power-on the system, make sure the heatsink and
CPU fan are correctly installed onto the CPU. The system is ca-
pable of monitoring the CPU fan, therefore you must use a fan
