Supported Softwares 4.2 Hardware Doctor Utility The system board comes with a Hardware Doctor utility contained in the provided CD. This utility is capable of monitoring the systems health conditions and allows you to manually set a range (Highest and Lowest Limit) to the items being monitored. If the settings/ values are over or under the set range, a warning message will pop- up.
Page 60
Supported Softwares The rightmost column of the screen shows the current value of each monitored item. To set the highest and lowest limit of each item, click on the arrow buttons in the Lowest Limit or Highest Limit column. However, we DO NOT recommend that you change the settings of the Voltages.
Page 61
Supported Softwares Beep Besides the pop-up warning message, you can choose to enable the beep alarm so that if an abnormal condition occurs, an alarm will sound. Due to its hardware limitation, the only item that cannot be enabled is System Temp. If the internal temperature of the system is too high, only a warning message will pop-up.
