Introduction

1.4. System Health Monitor Functions

The mainboard is capable of monitoring the following health conditions of your system:

1.Processor temperature. It has an overheat alarm.

2.VCORE/3.3V/5V/12V/-12V voltages and failure alarm.

3.Processor and chassis fan speeds. It has a failure alarm for these fans.

4.Read back capability that displays temperature, voltage and fan speed.

Hardware Monitoring System Utility

The mainboard comes with the Hardware Monitoring System utility contained on the CD. It is capable of monitoring the system’s hardware conditions such as the temperature of the processor, voltage, and the speed of both the CPU and chassis fans. You are allowed to manually set a range to the items being monitored. If the values are over or under the set range a warning message will automatically pop up. We recommend that you use the Default Settings, which are the ideal settings that will maintain the system in a good working condition. To install this utility, please insert the CD into the CD-ROM drive. The auto run screen (Driver Utility) will automatically appear. Click the Hard- ware Monitoring button, choose the chipset, model number and the OS that is installed. Please refer to the CD “Readme” file for further installation instruc- tions.

Note: Only use this utility in Windows operating systems.

1.5. System Intelligence

Dual Function Power Button

Depending on the setting in the Soft-Off By Power-Button field of the Power Management Setup, this switch allows the system to enter the Soft-Off or Suspend mode.

RTC Timer to Power-on the System

The RTC installed on the system board allows your system to automatically power-on at a set date and time.

Wake-On-LAN Ready

The Wake-On-LAN function allows the network to remotely wake up a Soft Power Down (Soft-Off) PC. Your LAN card must support the remote wakeup function. The 5V SB power source of your power supply must be at least 720mA.

ACPI Ready

The mainboard is designed to meet the ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) specification. ACPI has energy saving features that support OS Direct Power Management (OSPM) for round the clock PC operation.
