XHardware Health Conﬁ guration

This feature allows the user to monitor Hardware Health of the system and review

the status of each item when displayed.

CPU Overheat Alarm

This option allows the user to select the CPU Overheat Alarm setting which determines

when the CPU OH alarm will be activated to provide warning of possible CPU overheat.

Warning: Any temperature that exceeds the CPU threshold temperature

predeﬁ ned by the CPU manufacturer may result in CPU overheat or system

instability. When the CPU temperature reaches this predeﬁ ned threshold, the

CPU and system cooling fans will run at full speed.

The options are:

The Early Alarm: Select this setting if you want the CPU overheat alarm (includ-

•

ing the LED and the buzzer) to be triggered as soon as the CPU temperature

reaches the CPU overheat threshold as predeﬁ ned by the CPU manufacturer.

The Default Alarm

• : Select this setting if you want the CPU overheat alarm

(including the LED and the buzzer) to be triggered when the CPU temperature

reaches about 5oC above the threshold temperature as predeﬁ ned by the CPU

manufacturer to give the CPU and system fans additional time needed for CPU

and system cooling. In both the alarms above, please take immediate action as

shown below. (See the notes on P. 4-18 for more information.)
