1.3 Special Features
This section describes the health monitoring features of the A2SDV-8C/-12C+/-16C-TLN5F
motherboard. The motherboard has an onboard System Hardware Monitor chip that supports
system health monitoring.
Recovery from AC Power Loss
The Basic I/O System (BIOS) provides a setting that determines how the system will respond
when AC power is lost and then restored to the system. You can choose for the system to
remain powered off (in which case you must press the power switch to turn it back on), or
for it to automatically return to the power-on state. See the Advanced BIOS Setup section
for this setting. The default setting is
Last State
.
1.4 System Health Monitoring
This section describes the health monitoring features of the A2SDV-TLN5F Series
motherboard. The motherboard has an onboard Baseboard Management Controller (BMC)
chip that supports system health monitoring. Once a voltage becomes unstable, a warning
is given or an error message is sent to the screen.
