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 to change this setting. The default setting is Last State.

PC Health Monitoring

This section describes the PC health monitoring features of the
X6DVL-EG2. All have an onboard System Hardware Monitor chip that sup-
ports PC health monitoring.
Onboard Voltage Monitors for the CPU Cores, Chipset
Voltage, Memory Voltage, +3.3V, +5V, +12V, -12V, +3.3V
Standby, and 5V Standby
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
thresholds in SuperDoctorIII.
Fan Status Monitor with Firmware/Software On/Off 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.
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-
