System Resource Alert

This feature is available when the system is used with SuperDoctor ® 5 in the
Windows ® OS environment or used with SuperDoctor II in Linux. SuperDoctor
is used to notify the user of certain system events. For example, you can also
configure SuperDoctor to provide you with warnings when the system temperature,
CPU temperatures, voltages and fan speeds go beyond predefined thresholds.

ACPI Features

ACPI stands for Advanced Configuration and Power Interface. The ACPI specifica-
tion defines a flexible and abstract hardware interface that provides a standard
way to integrate power management features throughout a PC system, including
its hardware, operating system and application software. This enables the system
to automatically turn on and 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, while providing a processor architecture-independent
implementation that is compatible with the Microsoft
ing Systems.

Slow Blinking LED for Suspend-State Indicator

When the CPU goes into a suspend state, the chassis power LED will start to blink
to indicate that the CPU is in suspend mode. When the user presses any key, the
CPU will "wake up", and the LED will automatically stop blinking and remain on.

Power Supply

As with all computer products, a stable power source is necessary for proper and
reliable operation. It is even more important for processors that have high CPU
clock rates.
This motherboard accommodates 20-pin power supplies. Although most power sup-
plies generally meet the specifications required by the CPU, some are inadequate.
In addition, the 12V 8-pin power connectors located at JPW2 and JPW3 are also
required to ensure adequate power to the GPU Add-on card.
Warning: To prevent damage to the power supply or motherboard, please use a
power supply that contains a 20-pin and an 8-pin power connectors. Failure in doing
so will void the manufacturer warranty on your power supply and motherboard. It is
