1-3 PC Health Monitoring
This section describes the PC health monitoring features of the X9SPV Motherboard
Series. These motherboards have an onboard System Hardware Monitor chip that
supports PC health monitoring.
Recovery from AC Power Loss
BIOS provides a setting for you to determine how the system will respond when
AC power is lost and then restored to the system. You can choose for the system
to remain powered off (in which case you must hit the power switch to turn it back
on) or for it to automatically return to a power on state. See the Power Lost Control
setting in the BIOS chapter of this manual to change this setting. The default set-
ting is Last State.
Onboard Voltage Monitoring
The onboard voltage monitor will scan the following voltages continuously: CPU
core, 1.8V, +3.3V, +5V, +/-12V, +3.3V Stdby, +5V Stdby, VBAT, HT, Memory, Chipset.
Once a voltage becomes unstable, it will give a warning or send an error message
to the screen. The User can adjust the voltage thresholds to dene the sensitivity
of the voltage monitor by using SD III.
Fan Status Monitor with Software
The PC health monitor can check the RPM status of the cooling fans via Supero
Doctor III.
