For better flexibility of operation, Nuvo-1000 provides three alternatives can be used to power on your Nuvo-1000. You can turn on your Nuvo-1000 by pressing the power button, using an external latched on/off switch, or by sending a special LAN packet. In this section, we illustrate these three ways to power on your Nuvo-1000.

To power on Nuvo-1000 using the power button on the front panel

This is the simplest way to turn on your Nuvo-1000. The power button on the front panel is a non-latched switch and behaves an ATX-mode on/off control. As DC power is connected, push the power button and then system is on as well as the blue LED of power button is on. Push the button when system is on can turn off the system. If your operating system supports ATX power mode (i.e. Microsoft Windows or Linux), push the power button causes a pre-defined system behavior, such as shutdown or hibernation.

To power on Nuvo-1000 using remote on/off control on the rear panel

In addition to accept DC power (V+, V-), the 4-pin pluggable terminal block provides two pins (Ctrl+, Ctrl-) for behaving AT-mode remote on/off control. Please follow the steps listed below to use the remote on/off control function.

1. When Nuvo-1000 boots up, press F2 to enter BIOS setup utility.

2. Enter the [Advanced] Æ [Chipset Configuration] BIOS setting menu.

3. Configure the [Power On after Power Failure] BIOS option as [S0 - Power On]. This setting allows the system to turn on after external DC power is connected. Please refer to section xx.xx.xx for the instruction of configuring this option.

4. Connect a latched switch to Ctrl+ and Ctrl-. Polarity is negligible.

Nuvo-1000 Series User's Manual.doc

5. When the latched switch is closed, the DC power is break off and system is turn off. When the latched switch is open, the DC power is feed-in, and, with the correct setting of “Power On after Power Failure” BIOS option, the system is turn on.

CPU Shutdown Temperature and Thermal Throttling

To avoid CPU from overheating in some circumstances, Intel® provides several measures to protect CPU. When CPU core temperature reaches the throttling-on temperature, CPU start to insert idle clock cycle to reduce heat generated. As if the core temperature is still raising and shutdown temperature is reached, CPU shuts down itself to prevent further damage. Since Intel® i7/i5 processor has a Tj

max

(core temperature limite) of 105°C and Intel®

i3/P4500 processor has a Tj

max

(core temperature limite) of 90°C, we suggest you set these

two value according to the following principles:

- For Intel® i7/i5 processor, you should set the shutdown temperature as 105°C and

throttling-on temperature as 90°C.

- For Intel® i3/P4500 processor, you should set the shutdown temperature as 90°C and

throttling-on temperature as 75°C.

To set CPU shutdown and thermal throttling temperarure:

1. When Nuvo-1000 boots up, press F2 to enter BIOS setup utility.

2. Go to [Advanced] Æ [Thermal Configuration] Æ [Platform Thermal Configuration].

3. Set the [Shut Down Temperature] to a proper value according to the processor you’re using.

4. Set the [Throttle On Temperature] to a proper value according to the processor you’re using.
