2.16 BIOS

The WSB-9152 CPU card uses a licensed copy of Phoenix Award BIOS. The features of
the flash BIOS used are listed below:
SMIBIOS (DMI) compliant
Console redirection function support
PXE (Pre-Boot Execution Environment ) support
USB booting support

2.17 Operating Temperature and Temperature Control

The maximum and minimum operating temperatures for the WSB-9152 CPU card are
listed below.
Minimum Operating Temperature: 0ºC (32°F)
Maximum Operating Temperature: 60°C (140°F)
A cooling fan and heat sink must be installed on the CPU. Thermal paste must be
smeared on the lower side of the heat sink before it is mounted on the CPU. Heat sinks
are also mounted on the northbridge and southbridge chipsets to ensure the operating
temperature of these chips remain low.

2.18 Optional Audio Interface

The WSB-9152 CPU card does not come with an onboard Codec but the Intel ICH6
chipset has an Audio Codec (AC'97) controller. A connector on the CPU card can be used
to connect the ICH6 audio controllers to an external Codec.
