becomes opened. PolySwitch will be recovered to its original stage after surge
current disappeared & the system is being cooled down for a while.
It is highly recommended to adopt "Resetable" fuse in order to fully support
"Hot-Plug" feature on USB.
Q: What is Hardware Monitoring?
A: There are
implemented on AOpen ATX mainboard.
1. Over Current Protection: Providing over current protection for CPU
Vcore. In conjunction with the over current protection provided by ATX
power supply on 3.3V/5V/12V, it gives the full line over current
protection.
2. System Voltage Monitoring: As you turn your system on, this smart
design will continue to monitor your system working voltage. If any of the
system voltage is over the component's standard, there will be warning
alarm from PC speaker when AOHW100 or ADM installed.
3. Thermal Protection: The higher speed of CPU, the more heat
dissipation ability is needed to be taken into consideration. If user does
not use a correct fan for the CPU cooling, it is highly possible the CPU
will be overheating and cause system unstable. AOpen mainboard
monitors CPU & System temperatures by using two thermal sensors.
4. Fan Monitoring: There are two three-pin fan connectors, one is for CPU
and the other one can be connected to the housing fan. The system will
report the rotational speed of the fan and alarm fan malfunction though
utility software such as AOHW100 or ADM.
Q: What is AOHW100 (Hardware Monitoring Utility)?
A: This is the Hardware Monitoring Utility software (AOHW100) developed by
AOpen which monitors the status of system voltage, thermal, & fan. Instead of
using ADM or LDCM which supports network administration, AOHW100 is
especially designed for personal user. You may install it on your AOpen
mainboard based system which comes with Hardware Monitoring features.
Q: What is ADM (Advanced Desktop Manager)?
A: This is a desktop client and server management software developed by
AOpen. It is similar as Intel LDCM with some improvement. ADM is not only
for corporate network management, it can also be used as system status
monitoring utility, for example, CPU fan, thermal and system voltage
monitoring.
