Special Features
Recovery from AC Power Loss
BIOS provides a setting for you to determine 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 hit the
power switch to turn it back on) or for it to automatically return to a power-
on state. See the Power Lost Control setting in the Advanced BIOS Setup
section (Power Configuration) to change this setting. The default setting is
Last State.

PC Health Monitoring
This section describes the PC health monitoring features of the
X6DVL-INF/X6DVL-iG2. All have an onboard System Hardware Monitor chip
that supports PC health monitoring.
Onboard Voltage Monitors for the CPU Cores, Chipset
Voltage, Memory Voltage, +3.3V, +5V, +12V, -12V, +3.3V
Standby, 5V Standby and VBAT.
An onboard voltage monitor will scan these voltages continuously. Once a
voltage becomes unstable, a warning is given or an error message is sent
to the screen if SuperDoctorIII is installed. Users can adjust the voltage
thresholds in SuperDoctorIII.
Fan Status Monitor with Firmware Control
The PC health monitor can check the RPM of the cooling fans. The onboard
4-pin CPU and chassis fans are controlled by thermal management though
BIOS settings.
Environmental Temperature Control via Supero DoctorIII
The thermal control sensor monitors the CPU temperature in real time and
will increase the speed of the thermal control fan whenever the CPU tem-
perature exceeds a user-defined threshold. The overheat circuitry runs
independently from the CPU. It can continue to monitor for overheat condi-
tions even when the CPU is in sleep mode. Once it detects that the CPU
temperature is too high, it will automatically increase the speed of the ther-
mal control fan to prevent any damage to the CPU. The onboard chassis
thermal circuitry can monitor the overall system temperature and alert users
when the chassis temperature is too high.
CPU VRM Overheat
When the CPU reaches 78
0
C and above (Overheat), the CPU will slow down
and CPU Voltage will decrease to reduce CPU power consumption and
VRM heat dissipation.
