INSTALL

When using Intel’s LANDesk system management software, you may monitor

 

the status of the CPU Fans by connecting them to the Fan1 connector. You

 

will NOT be able to monitor your CPU fan with the other Fan connectors.

 

1-I Soft Power Connector

The Soft Power Connector is part of jumper block J16. The Trinity 371 uses the chipset for power management, including turning on and off the system. If the Power Button Function option in the BIOS Power Manage- ment Menu is set to On/Off (which is the default), pressing the power button once after the BIOS has booted up will turn the system on and off. If the Power Button Function option is set to Suspend, pressing the power button once will wake the system or send it to Suspend mode. In this case, you cannot turn the system off unless you shut down through the Windows operating system or you hold the power button down for four seconds.
