Environmental Temperature Control
The thermal control sensor monitors the CPU temperature in real time and
will activate the thermal control fan whenever the CPU temperature ex-
ceeds a user-defined threshold. The overheat circuitry runs independently
from the CPU. It can continue to monitor for overheat conditions even when
the CPU is in sleep mode. Once it detects that the CPU temperature is too
high, it will automatically turn the thermal control fan on to prevent any
overheat 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 Fan Auto-Off in Sleep Mode
The CPU fan activates when the power is turned on. It can be turned off
when the CPU is in sleep mode. When in sleep mode, the CPU will not run
at full power, thereby generating less heat.
CPU Overheat LED and Control
This feature is available when the user enables the CPU overheat warning
function in the BIOS. This allows the user to define an overheat tempera-
ture. When this temperature is exceeded, both the overheat fan and the
warning LED are activated.
System Resource Alert
This feature is available when used with Intel's LANDesk Client Manager
(optional). It is used to notify the user of certain system events. For
example, if the system is running low on virtual memory and there is insuf-
ficient hard drive space for saving the data, you can be alerted of the
potential problem.
Hardware BIOS Virus Protection
The system BIOS is protected by hardware so that no virus can infect the
BIOS area. The user can only change the BIOS content through the flash
utility provided by SUPERMICRO. This feature can prevent viruses from
infecting the BIOS area and destroying valuable data.
