	motherboard.
A.2	Chipset Overview
	The X8SIL/X8SIL-F/X8SIL-V supports the Intel Xeon 3400 processor series. Built upon the
	functionality and the capability of the single-chip Intel 3400 chipset, the X8SIL/X8SIL-F/X8SIL-
	V motherboard provides the performance and feature set required for single-processor-based
	systems with configuration options optimized for entry-level server platforms.The high-speed
	Direct Media Interface (DMI) featured in the Intel 3400/3420 chipset enables the X8SIL/
	X8SIL-F/X8SIL-V motherboard to offer a high-speed Direct Media Interface (DMI) for chip-to-
	chip true isochronous communication with the processor. This feature allows the X8SIL/
	X8SIL-F/X8SIL-V to achieve up to 10 Gb/s of software-transparent data transfer on each
	direction, achieving better performance than comparable systems. The X8SIL/X8SIL-F/X8SIL-V
	also features a TCO timer (to enable the system to recover from a software/hardware lock),
	ECC Error Reporting, Function Disable and Intruder Detect.
	Intel 3400/3420 Chipset Features
	– Direct Media Interface (up 10 Gb/s transfer, Full Duplex)
	– Intel Matrix Storage Technology and Intel Rapid Storage Technology
	– Dual NAND Interface
	– Intel I/O Virtualization (VT-d) Support
	– Intel Trusted Execution Technology Support
	– PCI Express 2.0 Interface (up to 5.0 GT/s)
	– SATA Controller (up to 3G/s)
	– Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI)
A.3	PC Health Monitoring
	This section describes the PC health monitoring features of the X8SIL/X8SIL-F/X8SIL-V. These
	features are supported by an onboard System Hardware Monitor chip.

Recovery from AC Power Loss

BIOS provides a setting for you to determine how the system will respond when AC power is lost and then restored to the system. You can choose for the system to remain powered off (in which case you must hit the power switch to turn it back on) or for it to automatically return to a power on state. See the Power Lost Control setting in the BIOS chapter of this manual to change this setting. The default setting is Last State.

Onboard Voltage Monitoring

The onboard voltage monitor will scan the following voltages continuously: CPU core, +3.3V, +5V, +/-12V, +3.3V Stdby, +5V Stdby, VBAT, HT, Memory, Chipset. Once a voltage becomes unstable, it will give a warning or send an error message to the screen. Users can adjust the voltage thresholds to define the sensitivity of the voltage monitor by using SD III.

Fan Status Monitor with Software

PC health monitoring can check the RPM status of the cooling fans via Supero Doctor III.

CPU Overheat LED and Control

This feature is available when the user enables the CPU overheat warning feature in the BIOS. This allows the user to define an overheat temperature. When this temperature reaches this
