4.1.7 System Operating Mode
Nuvo-3100 series supports PGA-type CPU to offer greater flexibility for CPU selection.
PGA-type processors are with higher CPU power, and therefore introduce higher
performance and more heat. For adapting to various environments, Nuvo-3100 series
features a unique BIOS option, System Operating Mode, to alter CPU power per user’s
preference. User can select a proper mode according to the environment of deployment
(e.g. indoor/outdoor, with/without airflow ant etc.).
