Environmental Temperature Control
System Health sensors monitor temperatures and voltage settings of onboard processors and
the system in real time via the BMC interface. Whenever the temperature of the CPU or the
system exceeds a pre-defined threshold, system and CPU cooling fans will be turned on to
prevent the CPU or the system from overheating.
Note: To avoid possible system overheating, be sure to provide adequate airflow to
your system.
System Resource Alert
This feature is available when used with SuperDoctor 5
SuperDoctor is used to notify the user of certain system events. For example, you can
configure SuperDoctor to provide you with warnings when the system temperature, CPU
temperatures, voltages and fan speeds go beyond a predefined range.
1.5 ACPI Features
ACPI stands for Advanced Configuration and Power Interface. The ACPI specification defines
a flexible and abstract hardware interface that provides a standard way to integrate power
management features throughout a computer system, including its hardware, operating
system and application software. This enables the system to automatically turn on and off
peripherals such as network cards, hard disk drives and printers.
In addition to enabling operating system-directed power management, ACPI also provides a
generic system event mechanism for Plug and Play, and an operating system-independent
interface for configuration control. ACPI leverages the Plug and Play BIOS data structures,
while providing a processor architecture-independent implementation that is compatible with
appropriate Windows operating systems. For detailed information regarding OS support, refer
to the Supermicro website.
1.6 Power Supply
As with all computer products, a stable power source is necessary for proper and reliable
operation. It is even more important for processors that have high CPU clock rates where
noisy power transmission is present.
in the Windows OS environment.
