Sredir Memory Display Delay

This feature deﬁnes the length of time in seconds to display memory information. The options are No Delay, Delay 1 Sec, Delay 2 Sec, and Delay 4 Sec.

This feature allows the user to monitor system health and review the status of each item as displayed.

CPU Overheat Alarm

This option allows the user to select the CPU Overheat Alarm setting which de- termines when the CPU Overheat alarm will be activated to provide warning of possible CPU overheat.

Warning!

1.Any temperature that exceeds the CPU threshold temperature pre- deﬁned by the CPU manufacturer may result in CPU overheat or system instability. When the CPU temperature reaches this predeﬁned threshold, the CPU and system cooling fans will run at full speed.

2.To avoid possible system overheating, please be sure to provide ad- equate airﬂow to your system.

The options are:

•The Early Alarm: Select this setting if you want the CPU overheat alarm (includ- ing the LED and the buzzer) to be triggered as soon as the CPU temperature reaches the CPU overheat threshold as predeﬁned by the CPU manufacturer.

•The Default Alarm: Select this setting if you want the CPU overheat alarm (including the LED and the buzzer) to be triggered when the CPU temperature reaches about 5oC above the threshold temperature as predeﬁned by the CPU manufacturer to give the CPU and system fans additional time needed for CPU and system cooling. In both the alarms above, please take immediate action as shown below.
