Hardware Health Monitor - Supero SuperServer 1026T-M3 User Manual

Hardware Health
This feature allows the user to monitor system health and review the status of each
item as displayed.
CPU Overheat Alarm
This option allows the user to select the CPU Overheat Alarm setting which de-
termines when the CPU OH alarm will be activated to provide warning of possible
CPU overheat.
Warning! 1.Any temperature that exceeds the CPU threshold tempera-
ture predefi ned by the CPU manufacturer may result in CPU overheat or
system instability. When the CPU temperature reaches this predefi ned
threshold, the CPU and system cooling fans will run at full speed. 2. To
avoid possible system overheating, please be sure to provide adequate
airfl ow to your system.
The options are:
•
The Early Alarm: Select this setting if you want the CPU overheat alarm (includ-
ing the LED and the buzzer) to be triggered as soon as the CPU temperature
reaches the CPU overheat threshold as predefi ned by the CPU manufacturer.
•
The Default Alarm
(including the LED and the buzzer) to be triggered when the CPU temperature
o
reaches about 5 C above the threshold temperature as predefi ned by the CPU
manufacturer to give the CPU and system fans additional time needed for CPU
and system cooling. In both the alarms above, please take immediate action
as shown below.
CPU Temperature/System Temperature
This feature displays current temperature readings for the CPU and the System.
The following items will be displayed for your reference only:
CPU 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 confi gured in the BIOS (Fan Speed Control).
User intervention: No action required.
Medium – The processor is running warmer. This is a 'precautionary' level and
generally 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'.
