5.3. System Environment Monitor 

The System Environment Monitoring utility along with the onboard 
VT82C686A system monitor chip enables you to monitor your sys-
tem’s operating  characteristics such as temperature, fan speed and 
CPU voltage. Using this utility, you can define the upper and lower 
limits of these monitored parameters. A pre-warning message will 
pop up on the screen when the monitored parameters move out of the 
preset range. This software must be installed under Windows 9x. 
However, the feature version may run on different operating systems, 
such as Windows NT. 

5.3.1. 

Hardware Monitor System Setup 

The Installation Steps:  

1. 

Insert the manufacturer’s CD-ROM into your CD-ROM 
drive. 

2. 

Install Hardware Monitor System from the directory 
“Monitor\Setup.exe” on the CD-ROM to start the installa-
tion. 

 

3. 

Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the instal-
lation. After setup is completed, you need to restart the 
computer before you can activate the program.
