Thermal Configuration submenu

The Thermal Configuration submenu allows you to configure thermal settings,
such as temperature thresholds.
Meaning
This item allows you to set the critical temperature trip point, in Celsius. The operating system will shut
down when one or more of the CPUs reach this temperature.
This item allows you to set the temperature of the CPUs, in Celsius, at which the operating system will
activate CPU throttling using the TC1, TC2, and TSP items.
This item allows you to set the thermal constant TC1 for the Advanced Configuration and Power
Interface (ACPI) Passive Cooling (CPU Throttle On) formula:
P[%] = TC1 * (T - T
n
where P[%] is the CPU performance change
T is the current CPU temperature
n
T is the target CPU temperature
t
The operating system uses this formula to determine the reduction in power consumption necessary
for a decrease in the unit's temperature.
This item allows you to set the thermal constant TC2 for the ACPI Passive Cooling (CPU Throttle On)
formula.
This item allows you to set how often the operating system will read the temperature when Passive
Cooling is on, in tenths of a second. Passive cooling is activated when the unit's temperature increases
to the temperature set with Throttle On Temperature.

SATA Configuration submenu

The SATA Configuration submenu allow you to configure settings for each mass
storage device installed in the Matrox 4Sight GPm (Bay Trail) unit.
Meaning
This item allows you to enable or disable the SATA controller.
Note that this item should not be changed.
❖
This item allows you to set the mode of the SATA controller.
By selecting IDE, the SATA controller will operate in legacy (IDE) mode. SATA devices will be emulated
as IDE devices. This option should be chosen for older operating systems that do not support AHCI.
By selecting AHCI, the SATA controller will operate in AHCI mode. Operating systems such as
Microsoft Windows XP , Microsoft Windows Vista, and Microsoft Windows Embedded Standard 7
support AHCI; devices will be configured as SATA devices that support AHCI.
The Matrox 4Sight GPm (Bay Trail) unit comes with a SATA mass storage device that supports AHCI;
❖
therefore, select AHCI (default).
