Special Features
Recovery from AC Power Loss
The Basic I/O System (BIOS) provides a setting that determines 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 the power-on state. See the
Advanced BIOS Setup section for this setting. The default setting is Last State.

PC Health Monitoring
This section describes the features of system health monitoring of the motherboard.
This motherboard has an onboard BaseBoard Management Controller (BMC) that
monitors system health. The onboard voltage monitor will scan the following on-
board voltages continuously: +3.3V, 3.3V standby, +5V, +5V standby, CPU core,
memory, chipset,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.
Fan Status Monitor with Firmware Control
System health monitoring support provided by the BMC controller can check the
RPM status of a cooling fan. The onboard CPU and chassis fan speeds are con-
trolled by IPMI Thermal Management.
Environmental Temperature Control
A thermal control sensor monitors the CPU temperature in real time and will turn
on the thermal control fan whenever the CPU temperature exceeds a user-defined
threshold. The overheat circuitry runs independently from the CPU. Once it detects
that the CPU temperature is too high, it will automatically turn on the thermal fan
control to prevent the CPU from overheating. The onboard chassis thermal circuitry
can monitor the overall system temperature and alert the user when the chassis
temperature is too high.
Note: To avoid possible system overheating, please be sure to provide
adequate airflow to your system.
System Resource Alert
This feature is available when used with SuperDoctor 5 in the Windows OS or Linux
environment. SuperDoctor 5 is used to notify the user of certain system events.
