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 (Boot Features) to change this setting.  

The default setting is Last State. 

1-4  PC Health Monitoring

This section describes the PC health monitoring features of the X7DVL-E.  All have 

an onboard System Hardware Monitor chip that supports PC health monitoring.

Onboard Voltage Monitors for the CPU Cores, Chipset Voltage, 
+1.8V, +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.  

Users can adjust the voltage thresholds to defi ne the sensitivity of the voltage 

monitor.

Fan Status Monitor with Firmware Control 

The PC health monitor can check the RPM status of the cooling fans. The onboard 

CPU and chassis fans are controlled by Thermal Management via BIOS (under 

Hardware Monitoring in the Advanced Setting).

Environmental Temperature Control

The thermal control sensor monitors the CPU temperature in real time and will turn 

on the thermal control fan whenever the CPU temperature exceeds a user-defi ned 

threshold.  The overheat circuitry runs independently from the CPU.  Once it detects 

that the CPU temperature is too high, it will automatically turn on the thermal fan 

control to prevent any overheat damage to the CPU.  The onboard chassis thermal 

circuitry can monitor the overall system temperature and alert users when the chas-

sis temperature is too high.

System Resource Alert

This feature is available when used with Supero Doctor III in the Windows OS 

environment or used with Supero Doctor II in Linux.  Supero Doctor  is used to 

notify the user of certain system events.  For example, if the system is running
