SUPER MICRO Computer X7DBi+ High Temperature Dram Operation, AMB Thermal Sensor, Thermal Throttle

X7DBi+ User's Manual

High Temperature DRAM Operation

When set to Enabled, the BIOS will refer to the SPD table to set the maximum DRAM temperature. If disabled, the BIOS will set the maximum DRAM temperature based on a predefined value. The options are Enabled and Disabled.

AMB Thermal Sensor

Select Enabled to enable the thermal sensor embedded in the Advanced Memory Buffer on a fully buffered memory module for thermal monitoring. The options are Disabled and Enabled.

Thermal Throttle

Select Enabled to enable closed-loop thermal throttling on a fully buffered (FBD) memory module. In the closed-loop thermal environment, thermal throttling will be activated when the temperature of the FBD DIMM module exceeds a predefined threshold. The options are Enabled and Disabled.

Global Activation Throttle

Select Enabled to enable the function of open-loop global thermal throttling on the fully buffered (FBD) memory modules and allow global thermal throttling to become active when the number of activate control exceeds a predefined number. The options are Enabled and Disabled.

Crystal Beach Features

Select Enabled to use the Intel I/O AT (Acceleration Technology) to accelerate the performance of TOE devices. (Note: A TOE device is a specialized, dedicated processor that is installed on an add-on card or a network card to handle some or all packet processing of this add-on card. For this motherboard, the TOE device is built inside the ESB 2 South Bridge chip.) The options are Enabled and Disabled.

Route Port 80h Cycles to

This feature allows the user to decide which bus to send debug information to. The options are Disabled, PCI and LPC.

Clock Spectrum Feature

If Enabled, the BIOS will monitor the level of Electromagnetic Interference caused by the components and will attempt to decrease the interference whenever needed. The options are Enabled and Disabled.

High Precision Event Time

Select Yes to activate the High Precision Event Timer (HPET), which is capable of producing periodic interrupts at a much higher frequency than a Real-time Clock (RTC) can in synchronizing multimedia streams, providing smooth playback and reducing the dependency on other timestamp calculation devices, such as an x86
