6-9 Hardware Health Information
This section provides further details concerning the SYSTEM HEALTH MONITOR screen information described briefly in Table
CPU Temperature
This feature displays current temperature readings for the CPUs installed in your system.
The CPU’s temperature is read by the mainboard in order for it to take different actions at different temperatures (such as increasing CPU fan speed, triggering overheat alarms and so on). Since CPUs can have differing temperature tolerances, the installed CPU sends information to the mainboard on what it’s ‘Temperature Tolerance’ is so temperature management can be undertaken.
Supermicro uses this featue in its mainboard’s by assigning a temperature status to certain thermal conditions in the processor (Low, Medium and High). This makes it easier for you to understand the CPU’s temperature status, rather than by simply seeing a temperature reading (such as 25° C). This CPU Temperature feature displays the CPU temperature status as detected by the BIOS:
•Low – This level is considered as the ‘normal’ operating state. The CPU temperature is well below the CPU ‘Temperature Tolerance’ and mainboard fans and CPU will run normally.
•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 fans may adjust to a faster speed.
No user action is required, but you may consider checking the CPU fans and the chassis ventalation for blockage.
•High – The processor is running hot. This is a ‘caution’ level since the CPU’s ‘Temperature Tolerance’ has been reached (or has been exceeded) and may activate an overheat alarm.
If the system buzzer and Overheat LED has activated, take action immediately by checking the system fans, chassis ventilation and room temperature to correct any problems.
