1.4 System Health Monitoring

This section describes the health monitoring features of the H13SAE-MF motherboard. The

motherboard has an onboard Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) chip that supports

system health monitoring. 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.

The onboard voltage monitor will continuously scan crucial voltage levels. Once a voltage

becomes unstable, it will give a warning or send an error message to the screen. The user

can adjust the voltage thresholds to define the sensitivity of the voltage monitor. Real time

readings of these voltage levels are all displayed in BMC.

PC health monitoring in the BMC can check the RPM status of the cooling fans. The onboard

CPU and chassis fans are controlled by Thermal Management through BMC.

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 the thermal sensor detects that

the CPU temperature is too high, it will automatically turn on the thermal fans to prevent the

CPU from overheating. The onboard chassis thermal circuitry can monitor the overall system

temperature and 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.

This feature is available when used with SuperDoctor 5

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.
