BIOS Setup

H/W Monitor

This section shows the status of your CPU, fan, overall system status, etc. Monitor
function is available only if there is hardware monitoring mechanism onboard.
CPU Fan Failure Warning
When enabled, the system will automatically monitor the CPU fan during boot-up. If it
detects that the CPU fan is not rotating, the system will show an error message on
the screen and halt the boot-up process. The function is built with CPU fan power
connector (CPUFAN2) only and enables you to protect the CPU from possible
overheating problem. If you don't connect the CPU fan to the CPU fan power connector,
we recommend disabling this feature. Setting options: [Enabled], [Disabled].
CPU Smart Fan Target Temp Select
When the current temperature of the CPU fan reaches the value you specify here,
the CPU fan will speed up for cooling down to avoid the CPU damage; on the contrary,
if the CPU fan current temperature is lower than the specified value, the CPU fan will
slow down its speed to keep the temperature stable.
CPU FAN PIN Select
If you enable the CPU Smart Fan Target Temp Select, this item is available for you
to choose the CPU fan pin number of your system. Be sure to select the correct pin
number identical to the pin of the CPU fan you purchase. Setting options: [3 PINS], [4
PINS].
Chassis Intrusion
The field enables or disables the feature of recording the chassis intrusion status
and issuing a warning message if the chassis is once opened. This item is available
only when your mainboard has JCI1 jumper. To clear the warning message, set the
field to [Reset]. The setting of the field will automatically return to [Enabled] later.
Settings: [Enabled], [Reset], [Disabled].
