Terminal Type

This feature allows the user to select the target terminal type for Console Redi- rection. The options are ANSI, VT100, and VT-UTF8.

VT-UTF8 Combo Key Support

A terminal keyboard definition that provides a way to send commands from a remote console. Available options are Enabled and Disabled.

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.

XHardware Health Configuration

This feature allows the user to monitor Hardware Health of the system and review the status of each item when displayed.

CPU Overheat Alarm

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

Warning: Any temperature that exceeds the CPU threshold temperature predefined 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.

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. (See the notes on P. 4-18 for more information.)

CPU Temperature/System Temperature

This feature displays current temperature readings for the CPU and the System.
