Special Features
Recovery from AC Power Loss
The Basic I/O System (BIOS) provides a setting that determines 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 the power-on state. See the
Advanced BIOS Setup section for this setting. The default setting is Last State.

System Health Monitoring
This section describes the features of system health monitoring of the mother-
board. This motherboard has an onboard BMC chip that monitors system health.
An onboard voltage monitor will scan the following onboard voltages continuously:
+3.3V, 3.3V standby, +5V, +5V standby, +12V, -12V, CPU core, memory, chipset,and
battery voltages. Once a voltage becomes unstable, a warning is given, or an error
message is sent to the screen. The user can adjust the voltage thresholds to define
the sensitivity of the voltage monitor.
Fan Status Monitor with Firmware Control
The system health monitoring support provided by the BMC controller can check
the RPM status of a cooling fan. The onboard CPU and chassis fan speeds are
controlled by IPMI Thermal Management.
Environmental Temperature Control
A thermal control sensor embedded in IPMI 2.0 monitors the CPU temperatures in
real time and will turn on the onboard cooling fans whenever the CPU temperature
exceeds a user-defined threshold to prevent the CPU from overheating, and it will
also send warning messages to alert the user when the chassis temperature is
too high.
Note: To avoid possible system overheating, please be sure to provide
adequate airflow to your system.
System Resource Alert
This feature is available when used with SuperDoctor® 5. SuperDoctor® 5 is
used to notify the user of certain system events. For example, you can configure
SuperDoctor® 5 to provide you with warnings when the system temperature, CPU
temperatures, voltages, and fan speeds go beyond a predefined range.
