1.4 System Health Monitoring
Onboard Voltage Monitors
An onboard voltage monitor will continuously scan the voltages of the onboard chipset,
memory, processor, and battery. Once a voltage becomes unstable, a warning is given, or an
error message is sent to the screen. You can adjust the voltage thresholds to define the
sensitivity of the voltage monitor.
Fan Status Monitor with Firmware Control
PC health monitoring in the BIOS can check the RPM status of the cooling fans. The onboard
CPU and chassis fans are controlled by Thermal Management via Embedded Controller (EC)
for X14SAE or BMC for X14SAE-F.
Environmental Temperature Control
The thermal control sensor monitors the CPU temperature in real time and will turn on the
thermal control fan whenever the CPU temperature exceeds a user-defined threshold. The
overheat circuitry runs independently from the CPU. Once the thermal sensor detects that the
CPU temperature is too high, it will automatically turn on the thermal fans to prevent the CPU
from overheating. The onboard chassis thermal circuitry can monitor the overall system
temperature and alert the user when the chassis temperature is too high.
Note: To avoid possible system overheating, be sure to provide adequate airflow to your
system.
System Resource Alert
This feature is available when used with SuperDoctor 5 in the Windows OS or in the Linux
environment. SuperDoctor 5 is used to notify the user of certain system events. For example,
you can configure SuperDoctor 5 to provide you with warnings when the system temperature,
processor temperatures, voltages, and fan speeds go beyond a predefined range .
