System Fan Monitor
007-5653-001
User intervention: No action is required. However, consider checking the CPU fans and the
chassis ventilation for blockage.
High – The processor is running hot. This is a 'caution' level since the CPU's 'Temperature
Tolerance' has been reached (or has been exceeded) and may activate an overheat alarm.
User intervention: If the system buzzer and Overheat LED has activated, take action immediately
by checking the system fans, chassis ventilation and room temperature to correct any problems.
Note: The system may shut down if it continues for a long period to prevent damage to the CPU.

System Temperature
The system temperature will be displayed (in degrees in Celsius and Fahrenheit) as it is detected
by the BIOS.
Voltage Readings
The following voltage readings will be displayed:
CPU1 Vcore/CPU2 Vcore, CPU1 DIMM/CPU2 DIMM, 1.5V, 3.3Vcc (V), 3.3V SG (V), +5Vin,
+5V SG, 12Vcc (V), and Battery Voltage
Fan Speed Readings
This feature displays the fan speed readings from Fan1 – Fan8. (Fan7 is the CPU1 fan and Fan8
is the CPU2 fan.)
Selects how the system controls the speeds of the onboard fans. The CPU temperature and the fan
speed are correlative. When the CPU on-die temperature increases, the fan speed will also
increase, and vice versa. Select Workstation if your system is used as a Workstation. Select Server
if your system is used as a Server. Select Full Speed to disable the fan speed control function and
allow the onboard fans to constantly run at the full speed (12V). The options are Full-speed/FS,
Performance / PS, Balanced / BL, and Energy Saving / ES
