1.2 Features
1.Fan status monitoring and alarm: To prevent system overheating and damage, the CPU fan can be monitored for speed and failure. The fan is set for its normal RPM range and alarm thresholds.
2.Temperature monitoring and alert: To prevent system overheat- ing and damage, the CPU card supports processor thermal sensing and
3.Voltage monitoring and alert: System voltage levels are moni- tored to ensure stable current flows to critical components. Voltage specifications will become even more critical for processors of the future. Thus monitoring will become ever more necessary to ensure proper system configuration and management.
4.ATX soft power switch: Through the BIOS, the power button can be defined as the "Standby" (aka "Suspend" or "Sleep") button or as the
Regardless of the setting, pushing the power button for more than 4 seconds will enter the

7.Message LED: Chassis LEDs now act as information providers. The way a particular LED illuminates indicates the stage the com- puter is in. A single glimpse provides useful information to the user.
8.CMOS RAM backup: When BIOS CMOS setup has been com- pleted, data in the CMOS RAM is automatically backed up to the Flash ROM. This is particularly useful in industrial environments which may cause soft errors. Upon such an error occurring, BIOS will check the data, and automatically restore the original data for booting.
