System Health Monitor
The BIOS is capable of monitoring the system’s “health” conditions everytime you boot the system. If it detected an abnormal condition during POST (such as when the temperature of the processor is too high or the speed of the fan is too slow), a warning message will appear BUT no alarm will sound.
If you want a warning alarm to sound, you must install the Hardware Doctor utility. This utility, which is included in the provided CD, will allow you to enable the warning alarm and manually set the highest and lowest limit of the “health” conditions monitored by the utility.
Once the utility is installed, the system will ignore the settings in this section (System Health Monitor) of the setup. If you are using Windows® 95/98, you may select between using the utility and this setup. For other operating systems, you may only use this setup. Refer to the “Hardware Doctor Utility” section (Chapter 4) for more information.
