Desktop Management Interface (DMI)
The system board comes with a DMI 2.0 built into the BIOS. The
DMI utility in the BIOS automatically records various information
about your system configuration and stores these information in the
DMI pool, which is a part of the system board's Plug and Play
BIOS. DMI, along with the appropriately networked software, is
designed to make inventory, maintenance and troubleshooting of
computer systems easier.
2.1.2 System Health Monitor Functions
The system board is capable of monitoring the following "system
health" conditions.
• Monitors CPU/system temperature and overheat alarm
• Monitors CPU/VCCVID/3.3V/5V/±12V/3VSB/5VSB/battery
voltages and failure alarm
• Monitors CPU/system fan speed and failure alarm
• Automatic system fan on/off control
• Read back capability that displays temperature, voltage and fan
speed
If you want a warning message to pop-up or a warning alarm to
sound when an abnormal condition occurs, you must install the
"Hardware Monitor" utility. This utility is included in the CD that came
with the system board.
