SUPER MICRO Computer C2SBA+II, C2SBE user manual Voltage Monitoring, System Temperature, Fan1 - Fan

Chapter 4: BIOS

Supermicro has leveraged this feature by assigning a temperature status to certain thermal conditions in the processor (Low, Medium and High). This makes it easier for the user to understand the CPU’s temperature status, rather than by just simply seeing a temperature reading (i.e., 25oC).

The information provided above is for your reference only. For more information on thermal management, please refer to Intel’s Web site at www.Intel.com.

System Temperature

This displays the system's absolute temperature reading (i.e., 27oC)

Fan1 - Fan 5

If the feature of Auto Fan Control is enabled, the BIOS will automatically display the status of the fan as specified.

Fan Speed Control Modes

This feature allows the user to decide how the system controls the speeds of the onboard fans. The CPU temperature and the fan speed are correlative. When the CPU on-die temperature increases, the fan speed will also increase, and vice versa. If the option is set to “4-pin”, the fan speed will be controlled by Pulse Width Modulation (PWM). Select “Workstation” if your system is used as a Workstation. Select “Disable” to disable the fan speed control function to allow the onboard fans to constantly run at full speed (12V). The Options are: 1. Disable and 2. Optimized for Workstations with 4-pin.

Note: In the Windows OS environment, the Supero Doctor III settings take prece- dence over the BIOS settings. When first installed, Supero Doctor III adopts the temperature threshold settings previously set in the BIOS. Any subsequent changes to these thresholds must be made within Supero Doctor, since the SD III settings override the BIOS settings. For the Windows OS to adopt the BIOS temperature threshold settings, please change the SDIII settings to be the same as those set in the BIOS.

Voltage Monitoring

The following items will be monitored and displayed:
