Hardware management support
The mainboard supports a power management function that conforms
to the power saving standards of the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) Energy Star program. It also offers Plug-and-Play feature
which helps save users from configuration problems, thus making the
system more user-friendly.
Additional features include hardware support for ASM Pro (Advanced
System Manager Pro) and RDM (Remote Diagnostic Management).
ASM detects problems in the CPU thermal condition, CPU working
voltage detection (±12V/±5V/3.3V/1.5V), and PCI bus utilization
calculation. It also detects if the CPU fan or the chassis fan
malfunctions. Meanwhile, RDM allows execution of the RDM
diagnostic program from a remote RDM station to fix detected
problems or to reboot the system.
