B14DBT: Introduction 1.2 Platform Overview Built upon the capability of the Intel® Xeon® 6 Processors, the B14DBT motherboard provides system performance, power efficiency, and feature sets to address the needs of next- generation computer users. The B14DBT motherboard dramatically increases system performance for a multitude of server...
B14DBT: Introduction 1.3 Special Features Recovery from AC Power Loss The Basic I/O System (BIOS) provides a setting that determines how the system will respond when AC power is lost and then restored to the system. You can choose for the system to remain powered off (in which case you must press the power switch to turn it back on), or for it to automatically return to the power-on state.
B14DBT: Introduction 1.4 System Health Monitoring Onboard Voltage Monitors An onboard voltage monitor will continuously scan the voltages of the onboard chipset, memory, processor, and battery. Once a voltage becomes unstable, a warning is given or an error message is sent to the screen. You can adjust the voltage thresholds to define the sensitivity of the voltage monitor.
B14DBT: Introduction 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.
Component Installation This chapter provides instructions on installing and replacing main system components for the B14DBT motherboard. To prevent compatibility issues, only use components that match the specifications and/or part numbers given.
