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.

System Health Monitoring
This section describes the features of system health monitoring of the motherboard.
This motherboard has an onboard Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) chip
that supports system health monitoring. An onboard voltage monitor will scan the
voltages of onboard chipset, memory, CPU, and battery continuously. 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
The system health monitor chip can check the RPM status of a cooling fan. The
CPU and chassis fans are controlled by BIOS Thermal Management through the
backpanel.
Environmental Temperature Control
System Health sensors monitor temperatures and voltage settings of onboard
processors and the system in real time via the IPMI interface. Whenever the tem-
perature of the CPU or the system exceeds a user-defined threshold, system/CPU
cooling fans will be turned on to prevent the CPU or the system from overheating.
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 in
the Linux environment. SuperDoctor is used to notify the user of certain system
events. For example, you can configure SuperDoctor to provide you with warnings
when the system temperature, CPU temperatures, voltages and fan speeds go
beyond a predefined range.
