Special Features

Recovery from AC Power Loss

Basic IO System (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 press the power switch
to turn it back on), or for it to automatically return to a power-on state. See the Ad-
vanced 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 board. All have
an onboard System Hardware Monitoring chip that supports PC health monitoring.
An onboard voltage monitor will scan these onboard voltages continuously: +1.8V,
+3.3V, +5V, +/-12V, +3.3V Stby, +5V Stby, VBAT, HT, Memory, PCH Temperature,
System Temeperature, and Memory Temperature. Once a voltage becomes un-
stable, a warning is given, or an error message is sent to the screen.

Environmental Temperature Control

Some X10SDV models come with an active heatsink built in while others come
with a passive heatsink for rackmount systems that are chassis-fan optimized (refer
to the model variation tables on page 1-9). Please follow the instructions given in
your system design guide or your system user manual to provide adequate airflow
to your system. The onboard BaseBoard Management Controller (BMC) monitors
CPU, memory and motherboard environment temperatures for fan control and PC
health management.
Note: To avoid possible system overheating, please be sure to provide
adequate airflow to your system.

System Resource Alert

This feature is available when the system is used with SuperDoctor
Windows and Linux operating systems. 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.
