Special Features

Recovery from AC Power Loss
Basic I/O System (BIOS) provides a setting for you to determine how the system will
respond when AC power is lost and then restored to the system. You can choose
for the system to remain powered off, (in which case you must press the power
switch to turn it back on), or for it to automatically return to a power-on state. See
the Advanced BIOS Setup section to change this setting. The default setting is
Last State.

PC Health Monitoring

This section describes the PC health monitoring features of the board. All have an
onboard System Hardware Monitoring chip that supports PC health monitoring. An
onboard voltage monitor will scan these onboard voltages continuously: CPU Vcore,
VDIMM, 12V, 5V, 3.3V, 3.3V Standby, and Battery voltages. Once a voltage becomes
unstable, a warning is given, or an error message is sent to the screen. The user
can adjust the voltage thresholds to define the sensitivity of the voltage monitor.
Environmental Temperature Control
This motherboard came with a heatsink built_in. Please follow the instruc tions
given in your system design guide or your system user manual to provide proper/
adequate airflow to your system. The onbaord BaseBoard Management Controller
(BMC) monitors CPU, memory and motherboard environment tempera tures for fan
control and PC health management.
Note: To avoid possible system overheating, please be sure to provide
adequate airflow to your system.
System Resource Alert
This feature is available when the system is used with SuperDoctor 5 in the
Windows OS environment or in Linux. SuperDoctor is used to notify the user of
certain system events. For example, you can also configure SuperDoctor to provide
you with warnings when the system temperature, CPU temperatures, voltages and
fan speeds go beyond predefined thresholds.
