SUPERSERVER 5015A-EHF-D525 User's Manual

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 de- termines 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.

CPU Temperature

The CPU Temperature feature will display the CPU temperature status as detected by the BIOS.

System Temperature

This feature displays the absolute system temperature (i.e., 34oC).

Low – This level is considered as the ‘normal’ operating state. The CPU temperature is well below the CPU ‘Temperature Tolerance’. The motherboard fans and CPU will run normally as conﬁgured in the BIOS (Fan Speed Control).

User intervention: No action required.

Medium – The processor is running warmer. This is a ‘precautionary’ level and generally means that there may be factors contributing to this condition, but the CPU is still within its normal operating state and below the CPU ‘Temperature Tolerance’. The motherboard fans and CPU will run normally as conﬁgured in the BIOS. The fans may adjust to a faster speed depending on the Fan Speed Control settings.
