Configuring the Gigabit Ethernet Controller
You do not need to set any jumpers or configure the controller. The device driver that
enables the operating system to address the controller is automatically installed
from DVD #1 (Fast Install SLP).
The following tools are available to help you identify and resolve hardware-related
issues:
•
PC health monitoring
•
POST (Power-On Self-Test) beep codes, error messages, and error logs—POST
generates beep codes and messages to indicate successful test completion or
the detection of a problem.
For more information, see POST (Power On Self Test) on page 71.
This section describes the PC health monitoring features of the system board. The
system board has an onboard system hardware monitor chip that supports PC
health monitoring.
An onboard voltage monitor will scan these voltages continuously. Once a voltage
becomes unstable, a warning is raised or an error message is sent to the screen.
Users can adjust the voltage thresholds to define the sensitivity of the voltage
monitor. To adjust the sensitivity, open the BIOS utility and select Advanced >
Hardware Monitor.
Fan Status Monitor with Firmware/Software On/Off Control
The PC health monitor can check the RPM status of the cooling fans. The onboard 3-
pin CPU and chassis fans are controlled by the power management functions. The
thermal fan is controlled by the overheat detection logic.
Environmental Temperature Control
The system board has a CPU thermal trip feature. A thermal control sensor monitors
the CPU temperature in real time and will send a signal to shut down the system
whenever the CPU temperature exceeds a certain threshold. This works to protect
the CPU from being damaged by overheating.
