1.4 System Health Monitoring
The X12SCV-W motherboard has an onboard System Hardware Monitoring chip that supports
system health monitoring.
Onboard Voltage Monitors
An onboard voltage monitor will scan the voltages of the onboard chipset, memory, CPU, and
battery continuously. If a voltage becomes unstable, a warning is given, or an error message
is sent to the screen. The user can adjust the voltage thresholds to define the sensitivity of
the voltage monitor.
Fan Status Monitor with Firmware Control
PC health monitoring in the BIOS can check the RPM status of the cooling fans. The onboard
CPU and chassis fans are controlled by Thermal Management.
Environmental Temperature Control
System Health sensors monitor 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 user-defined threshold, system/CPU cooling fans will be turned on to
prevent the CPU or the system from overheating.
Note
: To avoid possible system overheating, be sure to provide adequate airflow to
your system.
System Resource Alert
This feature is available when used with SuperDoctor 5
®
in the Windows OS or in the Linux
environment. SuperDoctor is used to notify the user of certain system events. For example,
you can configure SuperDoctor to provide you with warnings when the system temperature,
CPU temperatures, voltages and fan speeds go beyond a predefined range.
1.5 ACPI Features
The Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (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. ACPI enables the system to automatically turn on or off peripherals such
as CD-ROMs, 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,
