Page 18: Chipset Overview
H8DI3+/I+(-F) Serverboard User’s Manual Chipset Overview The H8DI3+/I+(-F) Serverboard serverboard is based on the AMD SR5690/SP5100 chipset. This chipset functions as a Media and Communications Processor (MCP). Controllers for the system memory are integrated directly into AMD Opteron processors. AMD SR5690/SP5100 Processor The AMD SR5690 and SP5100 are each single-chip, high-performance HyperTransport peripheral controllers for northbridge and southbridge functions, respectively.
Page 19: Power Conﬁ Guration Settings
Chapter 1: Introduction CPU Overheat/Fan Fail LED and Control This feature is available when the user enables the CPU overheat/Fan Fail warning function in the BIOS. This allows the user to deﬁ ne an overheat temperature. When this temperature is exceeded or when a fan failure occurs, the Overheat/Fan Fail warning LED is triggered.
Page 20: Power Supply
H8DI3+/I+(-F) Serverboard User’s Manual Wake-On-LAN (WOL) Wake-On-LAN is deﬁ ned as the ability of a management application to remotely power up a computer that is powered off. Remote PC setup, up-dates and access tracking can occur after hours and on weekends so that daily LAN trafﬁ c is kept to a minimum and users are not interrupted.
