SuperWorkstation 7047A-73/7047A-T User's Manual

Bits Per Second

This item sets the transmission speed for a serial port used in Console Redirec- tion. Make sure that the same speed is used in the host computer and the client computer. A lower transmission speed may be required for long and busy lines. The options are 9600, 19200, 57600, and 115200 (bits per second).

Flow Control

This feature allows the user to set the flow control for Console Redirection to prevent data loss caused by buffer overflow. Send a "Stop" signal to stop send- ing data when the receiving buffer is full. Send a "Start" signal to start sending data when the receiving buffer is empty. The options are None, Hardware RTS/ CTS, and Software Xon/Xoff.

XHardware Health Configuration

This feature allows the user to monitor system health and review the status of each item as displayed.

Fan Speed Control Mode

This feature allows the user to set the fan speed mode. Select Optimal to reduce fan speed for optimal power saving. Select Full Speed for the fan to run at the full speed which will increase power consumption. The options are Standard, Full Speed and Optimal.

CPU Temperature Display Mode

This feature displays the CPU temperature detected by DTS (i.e., +34oC) or temper- ature status in text ("Low", "Medium" or "High"). The options are Text Mode or DTS.

If Text Mode is selected, the CPU Temperature Display Mode will show the CPU temperature status as follows:

CPU 1 Temperature/CPU 2 Temperature

The CPU Temperature feature will display the CPU temperature status as detected by the BIOS:

Low - This level is considered as the 'normal' operating state. The CPU temperature is well below the CPU 'Temperature Tolerance'. The motherboard fans and CPU will run normally as configured in the BIOS (Fan Speed Control).

Medium - The processor is running warmer. This is a 'precautionary' level and gen- erally means that there may be factors contributing to this condition , but the CPU is still within its normal operating state and below the CPU 'Temperature Tolerance'. The motherboard fans and CPU will run normally as configured in the BIOS. The fans may adjust to a faster speed depending on the Fan Speed Control settings.
