  • Page 7 Hardware Monitoring This mainboard features hardware monitoring supported by the GL520SM system monitor chip. Using the system BIOS, system administrators can track critical hardware parameters such as CPU temperature and cooling fan speeds. Limits can be set to ensure system power management prevents threshold temperatures and parameters from being exceeded.
  • Page 8: Chapter 2: Installation

    Some features on the mainboard are implemented by cabling connectors on the mainboard to indicators and switches on the system case. Ensure that your case supports all the features required. The MS-7090S mainboard can support one or two floppy diskette drives and four enhanced IDE drives. Ensure that your case has sufficient power and space for all the drives that you intend to install.
