Special features
Your mainboard is available in different configuration levels. Depending on your mainboard, the
mainboard is equipped with or supports the features described in the following.
Silent Fan
A micro controller developed by Fujitsu Siemens Computers monitors and controls the
fans in the PC and thus prevents any unnecessary noise annoyance. Should the
processor become in spite of full turning ventilator too hot, then the processor clock
rate will automatically be reduced so that the system continues to run stably. The
microcontroller operates independently of the operating system and the processor.
Therefore the micro controller protects your PC reliably against overheating and loss of
data or even damage of the processor.
In addition, the microcontroller offers monitoring of, for example, system voltages
(12 V, 5 V, CMOS), opening of the case and a watchdog function.
Silent Fan LT
A controller regulates the processor fan in the PC and thus prevents unnecessary
noise pollution. The controller operates independently of the operating system and the
processor.
SystemGuard
With SystemGuard the function of the onboard Silent Fan Controller is displayed.
SystemGuard indicates temperature, rotational speed of the fan and voltages, which are
measured by the Silent Fan Controller. Moreover the software offers various setting
options to optimise the noise level. SystemGuard is a freeware-tool, which is available
on the internet.
Silent Drives
Hard disks and optical drives (CD-ROM, CD-RW, DVD etc.) are besides the fans
some of the greatest sources of noise in a PC. The BIOS-Setup can be used to switch
these drives into a quieter mode.
Recovery BIOS
If an error occurs during a BIOS update (e. g. due to a power failure), the system BIOS
will be destroyed. All Fujitsu Siemens Computers mainboards are equipped with a
recovery BIOS. With it a destroyed BIOS can easily be restored. Exact instructions are
provided in the chapter "BIOS Recovery - Recovering System BIOS".
