Hardware Health Configuration - Supermicro X9DA7 User Manual

X9DA7/X9DAE Motherboard User's Manual
Flow Control
This feature allows the user to set the flow control for Console Redirection to
prevent data loss caused by buffer overflow. Send a "Stop" signal to stop send-
ing data when the receiving buffer is full. Send a "Start" signal to start sending
data when the receiving buffer is empty. The options are None, Hardware RTS/
CTS, and Software Xon/Xoff.
Hardware Health Configuration
This feature allows the user to monitor system health and review the status of each
item as displayed.
Fan Speed Control Mode
This feature allows the user to set the fan speed mode. Select Optimal to reduce
fan speed for optimal power saving. Select Full Speed for the fan to run at the
full speed which will increase power consumption. The options are Standard, Full
Speed and Optimal.
CPU Temperature Display Mode
This feature displays the CPU temperature detected by DTS (i.e., +34
ature status in text ("Low", "Medium" or "High"). The options are Text Mode or DTS.
If Text Mode is selected, the CPU Temperature Display Mode will show the CPU
temperature status as follows:
CPU 1 Temperature/CPU 2 Temperature
The CPU Temperature feature will display the CPU temperature status as detected
by the BIOS:
Low - This level is considered as the 'normal' operating state. The CPU temperature
is well below the CPU 'Temperature Tolerance'. The motherboard fans and CPU will
run normally as configured in the BIOS (Fan Speed Control).
Medium - The processor is running warmer. This is a 'precautionary' level and gen-
erally means that there may be factors contributing to this condition , but the CPU
is still within its normal operating state and below the CPU 'Temperature Tolerance'.
The motherboard fans and CPU will run normally as configured in the BIOS. The
fans may adjust to a faster speed depending on the Fan Speed Control settings.
High - The processor is running hot. This is a 'caution' level since the CPU's 'Tem-
perature Tolerance' has been reached (or has been exceeded) and may activate
an overheat alarm. The system may shut down if it continues for a long period to
prevent damage to the CPU. 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.
