X6DVA-4G/X6DVA-EG User’s Manual

AMI BIOS will automatically display the following information:

CPU1 VCORE/CPU2 VCORE (*for 2U systems),

3.3V Vcc(V), +5 Vin, 12V Vcc(V), -12V Vcc (V), DRAM VTT, 1.2V Vcc, 2.5V for DIMM, 1.5V Standby Power, 5V Standby, 3.3V Standby.

Fan Speed Control Modules:

This feature allows the user to decide how the system controls the speeds of the onboard fans. If the option is set to "3-pin fan", the fan speed is controlled based upon the CPU die temperature. When the CPU die tempera- ture is higher, the fan speed will be higher as well. If the option is set to "4- pin", the fan speed will be controlled by the Thermal Management Settings pre-configured by the user at this feature. Select "3-pin" if your chassis came with 3-pin fan headers. Select "4-pin" if your chassis came with 4-pin fan headers. Select "Workstation" if your system is used as a Workstation. Select "Server" if your system is used as a Server. Select "Disable" to disable the fan speed control function to allow the onboard fans to run at the full speed (12V) at all time. The Options are: 1. Disable, 2. 3-pin (Server), 3. 3-pin (Workstation), 4. 4-pin (Server), 5. 4-pin (Workstation).
