• Fan Status Monitoring and Alarm: To prevent system overheat and system
damage, the CPU, power supply, and system fans can be monitored for RPM
and failure. All the fans are set for its normal RPM range and alarm thresholds.
• Temperature Monitoring and Alert: To prevent system overheat and system dam-
age, this motherboard supports processor thermal sensing and auto-protection.
• Voltage Monitoring and Alert: System voltage levels are monitored to ensure
stable current to critical motherboard components. Voltage specifications are
more critical for future processors, so monitoring is necessary to ensure proper
system configuration and management.
• System Resources Alert: Today’s server operating systems, such as Windows
NT and Windows 2000, require much more memory and hard drive space to
present enormous user interfaces and run large applications. The onboard hard-
ware ASIC in conjunction Intel LDSM will warn the user before the sys-
tem resources are used up to prevent possible application crashes. Suggestions
will give the user information on managing their limited resources more effi-
ciently.
• Dual Function Power Button: Through BIOS, the power button can be defined
as the “Stand by” (a.k.a. Suspend or Sleep) button or as the Soft-Off (see ATX
Power / Soft-Off Switch Lead in 3.8 Connectors for more information) button.
Regardless of the setting, pushing the power button for more than 4 seconds will
enter the Soft-Off mode.
• Remote Ring On (requires modem): This allows a computer to be turned on
remotely through an internal or external modem. With this benefit on-hand, users
can access any information from their computers from anywhere in the world.
• Alert-on-LAN II (requires optional hardware component): Part of Wired for
Management to enable IT staff to remotely respond to and resolve system trouble
which will decrease down time and lower total cost of ownership. Remote man-
agement response via remote diagnostics and troubleshooting work even when
the operating system has frozen. Remote power down for power management.
Asset tracking and monitoring through features like presence ping and logoff
notification.
