2) Cautions During Booting
When booting the computer, it may automatically power down after an alarm sound by a system monitoring program to indicate that the the CPU fan is rotating slowly. If this happens, turn the speed control knob fully clockwise to increase the fan speed. Then set ‘CPU Fan Detected’ to ‘Disabled’ in the BIOS settings, or set the slowest rotational speed of the CPU fan in the system monitoring program to less than or equal to 1300 RPM. Now the fan can be set back to the silent mode by turning the knob counter clockwise.
NOTE) Some motherboards do not boot if the rotational speed of the CPU fan below a certain number of RPM. If the BIOS settings are updated, Silent Mode can be used. For more information on updating your BIOS, please refer to your motherboard manufacturer's web site. Disabling of CPU fan speed detection in BIOS settings does not effect computer performance.
