Auto Disable PCI Clock
This item is used to auto detect the PCI slots. When set to [Enabled], the system will
remove (turn off) clocks from empty PCI slots to minimize the electromagnetic inter-
ference (EMI). Settings: [Enabled], [Disabled].
CPU Shutdown Temperature
If the CPU temperature reaches the limit preset in this setting, the system will shotdown
automatically.
Smart FAN
Smart Fan is an excellent feature which will adjust the CPU fan speed automatically
depending on the CPU current temperature, preventing your system from being
damaged by overheating.
CPU Fan Failure Warning
When enabled, the system will automatically monitor the CPU fan during boot-up. If it
detects that the CPU fan is not rotating, the system will show an error message on
the screen and halt the boot-up process. The function is built with CPU fan power
connector (CFAN1) only and enables you to protect the CPU from possible over-
heating problem. If you don’t connect the CPU fan to the CPU fan power connector,
we recommend disabling the feature. Settings: [Enabled], [Disabled].
