Supero Doctor III

The Supero Doctor III program is a Web base management tool that supports remote management capability. It includes Remote and Local Management tools. The local management is called SD III Client. The Supero Doctor III program included on the CDROM that came with your motherboard allows you to monitor the environment and operations of your system. Supero Doctor III displays crucial system information such as CPU temperature, system voltages and fan status. See the Figure below for a display of the Supero Doctor III interface.

*Note 1: The default user name and password are ADMIN.

Note 2: In the Windows OS environment, the Supero Doctor III settings take precedence over the BIOS settings. When first installed, the SD III adopts the temperature threshold settings previously set in the BIOS. Any subse- quent changes to these thresholds must be made within Supero Doctor, since the SDIII settings override the BIOS settings. For the Windows OS to adopt the BIOS temperature threshold settings, please change the SDIII set- tings to be the same as those set in the BIOS.
