There are three main elements to the optional system management hardware.

The National Semiconductor PC87366 provides the system monitor functions as described below. It provides the following functions.

Fan monitoring. The two inputs to the PC87366 device monitor the first two ATX “fantach” signals.

Monitoring of system +12V, -12V, +5V, +3.3V, VCPU, +2.5V, +1.8V and +1.5V power

The system fan is controlled by the motherboard such that it stops rotating when the system is in ‘Suspend’ mode. FC810 microATX motherboard supports variable fan speed control in which the speed of the fan is raised as the temperature of the processor increases. This considerably

reduces fan noise in normal operation.

The variable fan speed option can only be used with an ACPI-aware operating system (such as

Windows 98). This feature requires separate programming and you should contact Mitsubishi

Electric Motherboard Division for further details.
