Special Features - Viglen Vig430p Manual

Special Features:

 Recovery from AC Power Loss
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 hit the power switch to turn it back on) or for it to automatically return to a
power- on state. See the Power Lost Control setting in the Advanced BIOS Setup section (Boot
Features) to change this setting. The default setting is Last State.
PC Health Monitoring:
This section describes the PC health monitoring features of the Vig430P. All have an onboard
System Hardware Monitor chip that supports PC health monitoring via Super Doctor II or III. An
onboard voltage monitor will scan these onboard voltages continuously: Vcore1, Vcore2, 1.5V,
5VDD, 5VSB, 12V, -12V, 3.3Vcc, 3.3VSB, VBAT and Vtt. Once a voltage becomes unstable, a
warning is given or an error message is sent to the screen. Users can adjust the voltage
thresholds to define the sensitivity of the voltage monitor.
 Fan Status Monitor with Firmware Control
The PC health monitor can check the RPM status of the cooling fans. The onboard CPU and
chassis fans are controlled by Thermal Management via BIOS (under Hardware Monitoring in
the Advanced Setting).
 Environment Temperature Control
The thermal control sensor monitors the CPU temperature in real time and will turn on the
thermal control fan whenever the CPU temperature exceeds a user-defined threshold. The
overheat circuitry runs independently from the CPU. Once it detects that the CPU temperature
is too high, it will automatically turn on the thermal fan control to prevent any overheat damage
to the CPU. The onboard chassis thermal circuitry can monitor the overall system temperature
and alert users when the chassis temperature is too high.
 System Resource Alert
This feature is available when used with Super Doctor III in the Windows OS environment or
used with Super Doctor II in Linux. Super Doctor is used to notify the user of certain system
events. For example, you can also configure Super Doctor to provide you with warnings when
the system temperature, CPU temperatures, voltages and fan speeds go beyond a pre-defined
range.
