Terminal Type

This feature allows the user to select the target terminal type for Console Redirection. The options 
are 

ANSI

, VT100, and VT-UTF8.

VT-UTF8 Combo Key Support

 

A terminal keyboard definition that provides a way to send commands from a remote console. 
Available options are 

Enabled

 and Disabled.

Sredir Memory Display Delay

 

This feature defines the length of time in seconds to display memory information. The options are 

No Delay

, Delay 1 Sec, Delay 2 Sec, and Delay 4 Sec. 

Hardware Health Monitor 

This feature allows the user to monitor system health and review the status of each item as 
displayed.

CPU Overheat Alarm 

This option allows the user to select the CPU Overheat Alarm setting which determines when the 
CPU OH alarm will be activated to provide warning of possible CPU overheat. 

Warning:  

Any temperature that exceeds the CPU threshold temperature predefined by 

the CPU manufacturer may result in CPU overheat or system instability. When the CPU 
temperature reaches this predefined threshold, the CPU and system cooling fans will run at 
full speed. To avoid possible system overheating, please be sure to provide adequate airflow 
to your system. 

The options are: 

•

The Early Alarm: Select this setting if you want the CPU overheat alarm (including the LED 
and the buzzer) to be triggered as soon as the CPU temperature reaches the CPU overheat 
threshold as predefined by the CPU manufacturer. 

•

The Default Alarm

: Select this setting if you want the CPU overheat alarm including the 

LED and the buzzer) to be triggered when the CPU temperature reaches about 5
