About InforManager™

The system is equipped with InforManager™ (IFM), a special feature consisting of both hardware and software designed to monitor and report the operation status of the system and its devices: CPUs, power supplies, RAM, ambient temperatures, voltages, and fan operation.

A microcontroller chip embedded on the system board checks the performance of various devices installed in the computer as well as their temperature and voltage levels.

The touchscreen LCD on the front panel is programmed with fully functioning menu screens, allowing access to all system functions.

•System Monitor

•Fan Monitors

•Temperature Monitors

•System Power and Power Supply Monitors

•Activity Monitors (CPU and disk drives)

•Side Panel Monitors

•System Information

To access any menu screen, gently touch the icon of the device you wish to see. The LCD will then display the status or a sub-menu of the device. You can also scroll through the menu screens by touching the highlighted arrows at the bottom of the LCD.

As an energy-saving feature, the LCD screen automatically goes “blank” (sleep mode) after five minutes of inactivity. A touch anywhere on the screen will bring the display back on.
