Page 19: Acpi Features
Chapter 1: Introduction CPU Overheat LED and Control This feature is available when the user enables the CPU overheat warning function in the BIOS. This allows the user to deﬁ ne an overheat temperature. When the CPU temperature reaches the pre-deﬁ ned overheat threshold, both the overheat fan and the warning LED are triggered.
Page 20: Main Switch Override Mechanism
It is even more important for processors that have high CPU clock rates. The X7DCX can only accommodate 24-pin ATX power supply. Although most power supplies generally meet the speciﬁ cations required by the motherboard, some are inadequate. You should use one that will supply at least 400W of power, depend- ing on your system conﬁ...
Page 21: Super I/O
Chapter 1: Introduction It is recommended that you also install a power surge protector to help avoid prob- lems caused by power surges. Super I/O The disk drive adapter functions of the Super I/O chip include a ﬂ oppy disk drive controller that is compatible with industry standard 82077/765, a data separator, write pre-compensation circuitry, decode logic, data rate selection, a clock generator, drive interface control logic and interrupt and DMA logic.
