Chapter 1: Introduction
1.3 System Health Monitoring
This section describes the health monitoring features of the B2SC2-TF 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.
Onboard Voltage Monitors
The onboard voltage monitor will continuously scan crucial voltage levels. Once a voltage
becomes unstable, it will give a warning or send an error message to the screen.
Environmental Temperature Control
System Health sensors in the BMC monitor the temperatures and voltage settings of onboard
processors and the system in real time via the IPMI interface. Whenever the temperature
of the CPU or the system exceeds a defined threshold, the MicroBlade cooling fans will
dynamically adjust the fan speed RPM to prevent the CPU or the system from overheating.
Note:
To avoid possible system overheating, please be sure to provide adequate air-
flow to your system.
System Resource Alert
This feature is available when used with SuperDoctor 5
®
. SuperDoctor 5 is used to notify the
user of certain system events. For example, you can configure SuperDoctor 5 to provide you
with warnings when the system temperature, CPU temperatures, voltages and fan speeds
go beyond a predefined range.
1.4 ACPI Features
ACPI stands for Advanced Configuration and Power Interface. The ACPI specification defines
a flexible and abstract hardware interface that provides a standard way to integrate power
management features throughout a computer system including its hardware, operating system
and application software. This enables the system to automatically turn on and off peripherals
such as network cards, hard disk drives and printers.
In addition to enabling operating system-directed power management, ACPI also provides a
generic system event mechanism for Plug and Play and an operating system-independent
interface for configuration control. ACPI leverages the Plug and Play BIOS data structures
while providing a processor architecture-independent implementation that is compatible with
Windows 8/R2, and Windows 2012/R2 operating systems.
