Chapter 1: Introduction

1-2 Chipset Overview

The Intel X38/X48 Chipset is specially designed for use with Intel® Core™2 Ex-

treme, Quad, or Duo processors in the LGA775 Land Grid Array Package and the

ICH9R-based workstations. It consists of three primary components: the Memory

Controller Hub (MCH), the I/O Controller Hub (ICH9R) and the PXH-V chip.

Memory Controller Hub (MCH)

The MCH (North Bridge) manages the data ow between the CPU interface (FSB),

the System Memory interface, the PCI-Express interface, and the I/O Controller

through the Direct Media Interface (DMI). The ICH9R (South Bridge) provides

a multitude of I/O related functions. The MCH supports one or two channels of

DDR2/DDR3 memory SDRAM and a dual PCI-Express x16 (2.0) external graph-

ics port.

Intel ICH9R System Features

The Intel 9th Generation I/O Controller Hub (ICH9R) supports various I/O related

functions and PCI devices. It provides the data buf fering, interface arbitration and

bandwidth needed to maximize system inte rface ef ci ency and m aintain peak pe r-

formance at the same time. The ICH9R suppor ts PCI-Express ports compatible

with the PCI-Express Base Specication, Rev.1.1. It also supports SATA connec -

tions at generation 1 and 2 speeds and USB 2.0 por ts.

Additionally, the ICH9R features an integrated High Denition Audio Controller to

suppor t extreme multimedia applications, accommodating a variety of third-party

audio codecs. It also supports the Intel Matrix Storage Technology which provides

the user with a wide array of RAID options for data security and signal transmis-

sion efciency. Furthermore, the ICH9R offers next generation client management

capability through the use of Intel Active Management Technology in conjunction

with the use of the most advanced Gigabit Ethernet controller. The Intel 82566

LAN controller supports a single compact Gigabit LAN por t. The GLAN Controller

connects to the ICH via an Intel proprietary Serial GLAN connection link.

The Direct Media Interface (DMI)

Providing the high-speed, chip-to-chip connection between the MCH and ICH9R

is the Direct Media Interface (DMI). The DMI integrates advanced priority-based

servicing, allowing for concurrent trafc, true isochronous transfer capabilities and

permitting current as well as legacy sof tware to function seamlessly.

1-3 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 Con-

trol setting in the BIOS chapter of this manual to change this setting. The default

setting is Last State.

1-4 PC Health Monitoring

This section describes the PC health monitoring features of the C2SBX/C2SBX+.

The motherboard has an onboard System Hardware Monitor chip that supports

PC health monitoring.

Onboard Voltage Monitoring

The onboard voltage monitor will scan the following voltages continuously: the

CPU Core, Memory Core +1.5V (for DDR3 up to 1333 MHz), +1.8V (for DDR3

up to 1600 MHz), +3.3V, +3.3V standby, +5V, Vbat and ±12V. Once a voltage

becomes unstable, it will give a warning or send an error message to the screen.

Users can adjust the voltage thresholds to dene the sensitivity of the voltage

monitor by using Supero Doctor III.

1-5 ACPI Features

ACPI stands for Advanced Conguration and Power Interface. The ACPI speci-

cation denes a exible and abstract hardware inter face that provides a standard

to integrate power management features throughout a PC system, including its

hardware, operating system and application software. This enables the system to

automatically turn on and off peripherals such as CD-ROMs, network cards, hard

disk drives and printers. This also includes consumer devices connected to the

PC such as VCRs, TVs, telephones and stereos.

In addition to enabling operating system-directed power management, ACPI pro-

vides a generic system event mechanism for Plug and Play and an operating-sys-

tem-independent interface for conguration control. ACPI leverages the Plug and

Play BIOS data structures while providing a processor architecture-independent

implementation that is compatible with Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows

2003, Windows 2003 Servers.

Enhanced Power Management

The onboard ICH9R chip provides advanced power management functions that

will greatly improve the performance of various low-power (suspend) states and

1-12

Chapter 1: Introduction

enhance clock control. A hardware-based component provides software-indepen-

dent thermal management that is compatible with the ACPI Revision 3.0a.

Slow Blinking LED for Suspend-State Indicator

When the CPU goes into a suspend state, the chassis power LED will start blinking

to indicate that the CPU is in suspend mode. When the user presses any key, the

CPU will wake-up and the LED will automatically stop blinking and remain on.

BIOS Support for USB Keyboard

If the USB keyboard is the only keyboard in th e system, i t w il l f un ct ion l ike a normal

keyboard during system boot-up.

Wake-On-LAN (WOL)

Wake-On-LAN is dened as the ability of a management application to remotely

power up a computer that is powered off. Remote PC setup, updates and asset

tracking can occur after hours and on weekends so that daily LAN trafc is kept

to a minimum and users are not interrupted. The motherboard has a 3 -pin header

(WOL) to connect to the 3-pin header on a Network Interface Card (NIC) that has

WOL capability. In addition, an onboard LAN controller can also support WOL

without any connection to the WOL header. The 3 -pin WOL header is to be used

with a LAN add-on card only. Wake-On-LAN requires an ATX 2.01 (or above)

compliant power supply.

1-6 Power Supply

As with all computer products, a stable power source is necessary for proper and

reliable operation. It is even more important for processors that have high CPU

clock rates of 1000 MHz and faster.

The C2SBX/C2SBX+ accommodates 12V ATX power supplies. Although

most power supplies generally meet the specications required by the CPU,

some are inadequate. A 2-Amp of current supply on a 5V Standby rail is strongly

recommended.

It is strongly recommended that you use a high quality power supply that meets

12V ATX power supply Specication 1.1 or above. It is also required that the 12V

4-pin power connection (J41) be used for high-load congurations. In areas where

noisy power transmission is present, you may choose to install a line lter to shield

the computer from noise. It is recommended that you also install a power surge

protector to help avoid problems caused by power surges.

1-7 Versatile Media Capabilities

HighDenitionAudio

The High Denition Audio Controller embedded in the ICH9R delivers up to 4

codecs that can be used for different types of codecs, such as audio and modem

codecs. Operating at 3.3V or 1.5V, the embedded Audio Controller supports a

multi-channel audio stream, 32-bit sample depth, up to 192 kHz of same rate, and

can be used with a variety of microphones for input. With these versatile audio

capabilities built in, the C2SBX/C2SBX+ provides the user with a surreal audio

experience that is larger than life.

I/O Virtualization Technology (VT-d)

With the Intel ICH 9R bui lt in , t he C2SBX /C2S BX+ su pports I/ O V irtualiz at ion Tech-

nology (V T-d) that enables multiple operating systems and applications to run in

independent partitions. Each partition uses its own subset of host physical memor y

and behaves like a virtual machine (VM), providing isolation and protection across

multiple partitions. This feature is available when a processor that suppor ts the

virtualization of platforms is installed on the motherboard.

1-8 Super I/O

The disk drive adapter functions of the Super I/O chip include a oppy disk drive

controller that is compatible with industry standard 82077/765, a data separator,

write pre-compensation circuitry, decode logic, data rate selection, a clock genera-

tor, drive inter face control logic and interrupt and DMA logic. The wide range of

func ti ons i nt eg rate d o nt o t he Su pe r I /O gr ea tl y r ed uces the number of comp on ents

required for inter facing with oppy disk drives. The Super I/O supports two 360 K,

720 K, 1.2 M, 1.44 M or 2.88 M disk drives and data transfer rates of 250 Kb/s,

500 Kb/s or 1 Mb/s.

It also provides two high-speed, 16550 compatible serial communication ports

(UARTs). Each UART includes a 16-byte send/receive FIFO, a programmable

baud rate generator, complete modem control capabilit y and a proc essor interrupt

system. Both UARTs provide legacy speed with baud rate of up to 115.2 Kbps as

well as an advanced speed with baud rates of 250 K, 500 K, or 1 Mb/s, which

support higher speed modems.

The Super I/O provides functions that comply with the Advanced Conguration

and Power Inter face (ACPI), which includes support of legacy and ACPI power

management through a SMI or SCI function pin. It also features auto power man-

agement to reduce power consumption.

2-1 Static-Sensitive Devices

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage electronic com ponents. To prevent

damage to your system board, it is important to handle it ver y carefully. The fol-

lowing measures are generally sufcient to protect your equipment from ESD.

Precautions

• Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge. Touch a

grounded metal object before removing the board from the antistatic bag.

• Handle the board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral

chips, memory modules or gold contacts.

• When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.

• Put the motherboard and peripherals back into their antistatic bags when not

in use.

• For grounding purposes, make sure your computer chassis provides excellent

conductivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners and

the motherboard.

• Use only the correct type of onboard CMOS battery as specied by the

manufacturer. Do not install the onboard battery upside down to avoid possible

explosions.

Unpacking

The motherboard is shipped in antistatic packaging to avoid static damage. When

unpacking the board, make sure the person handling it is static protected.

2-2 Motherboard Installation

Note: Be sure to mount the motherboard into the chassis before you install the

CPU onto the motherboard.

All motherboards have standard mounting holes to t different types of chassis.

Make sure that the locations of all the mounting holes for both motherboard and

chassis match. Make sure that the metal standoffs click in or are screwed in tightly.

Then use a screwdriver to secure the motherboard onto the motherboard tray.

(Caution: 1. Please do not use a force greater than 8 lb/inch on each mounting

screw during motherboard installation. 2. Some components are very close to the

mounting holes. Please take precautionary measures to prevent damage to these

components when installing the motherboard to the chassis.)

2-4 Installing DIMMs

Note: Check the Supermicro web site for recommended memory modules.

CAUTION

Exercise extreme care when installing or removing DIMM

modules to prevent any possible damage. Also note that the

memory is interleaved to improve performance. (See step 1.)

DIMM Installation

Insert the desired number of DIMMs into the memory slots, starting with 1.

DIMM1A. Populating DIMM 1A, DIMM 1B, and/or DIMM 2A, DIMM 2B with

memory modules of the same size and of the same type will result in dual

channel, two-way interleaved memor y which is faster than the single channel,

non-interleaved memory.

Insert each DIMM module ver tically into its slot. Pay attention to the notch 2.

along the bottom of the module to prevent inserting the memory module

incorrectly.

Gently press down on the DIMM module until it snaps into place in the slot. 3.

Repeat for all modules (See step 1 above).

Memory Support

Due to the OS limitations, some operating systems may not show more than 1.

4 GB of memory.

C2SBX+ supports Non-ECC DDR3 1600 MHz up to 4GB in two DIMMs, or 2.

Non-ECC DDR3 1333 MHz up to 8 GB in four DIMMs. When one 1600 MHz

DDR3 is used, install it in DIMM2A or DIMM2B. When two 1600 MHz DIMMs

are used, install the DIMMs in DIMM2A and DIMM2B.

C2SBX supports ECC/Non-ECC DDR3 up to 1333 MHz up to 8 GB in four 3.

DIMMs.

Due to memory allocation to system devices, memory remaining available 4.

for operational use will be reduced when 4 GB of R AM is used. The reduc-

tion in memory availability is disproportional. (See the following Table.) For

Microsoft Windows users: Microsoft implemented a design change in Windows

XP with Service Pack 2 (SP2) and Windows Vista. This change is specic to

the Physical Address Extension (PAE) mode behavior which improves driver

compatibility. For more information, please read the following article at Micro-

Fan Headers

The C2SBX /C2SBX+ has ve chassis fan

headers (Fan1 to Fan5). Fan 1 is the CPU

Fan. Fan 2 to Fan 5 are system/chassis

fans. (Note: Pins 1-3 of a 4-pin fan header

are backward compatible with a traditional

3-pin fan.) See the table on the right for

pin denitions. The onboard fan speeds

are controlled by Thermal Management via

Hardware Monitoring in the Advanced Set­ting in the BIOS. (Note: Default: Disabled

When using Thermal Management setting,

please use all 3-pin fans or all 4-pin fans

on the motherboard.)

Explanation of
Jumpers

To modify the operation of the

motherboard, jumpers can be used

to choose between optional settings.

Jumpers create shorts between two

pin s to c hange the function of the

connector. Pin 1 is identied with a

square solder pad on the printed circuit

board. See the motherboard layout

pages for jumper locations. Note:

On two pin jumpers, "Closed" means

the jumper is on the pins, and "Open"

means the jumper is off the pins.

GLAN Enable/Disable

JPL1 enables or disables the GLAN

Port on the motherboard. See the

table on the right for jumper settings.

The default setting is Enabled.

CMOS Clear

JBT1 is used to clear CMOS. Instead of pins, this "jumper" consists

of contact pads to prevent the accidental clearing of CMOS. To clear

CMOS, use a metal object such as a small screwdriver to touch both

pads at the same time to short the connection. Always remove the

AC power cord from the system before clearing CMOS.

Note: For an ATX power supply, you must completely shut down the system,

remove the AC power cord, and then short JBT1 to clear CMOS.

Watch Dog Enable/Disable

JWD controls the Watch Dog function. Watch

Dog is a system monitor that can reboot the

system when a software application hangs.

Close pins 1-2 to reset the system if an applica-

tion hangs. Close pins 2-3 to generate a non-

maskable interrupt signal for the application that

hangs. See the table on the right for jumper set-

tings. Watch Dog must also be enabled in the

BIOS. Note: When enabled, the user needs to

write his/her own application software to disable

the Watch Dog Timer.

If you are a system integrator, VAR or OEM, a POST diagnostics

card is recommended. For I/O port 80h codes, refer to App. B.

Memory Errors

1. Make sure that the DIMM modules are properly and fully installed.

2. You should be using unbuffered DDR3 memory (see the next page.) Also, it

is recommended that you use the same memory speed for all DIMMs in the

system. See Section 2-4 for memory limitations.

3. Check for bad DIMM modules or slots by swapping modules between slots and

noting the results.

4. Check the power supply voltage 115V/230V switch.

LosingtheSystem’sSetupConguration

1. Make sure that you are using a high quality power supply. A poor quality power

supply may cause the system to lose the CMOS setup information. Refer to

Section 1-6 for details on recommended power supplies.

2. The battery on your motherboard may be old. Check to verify that it still sup-

plies ~3VDC. If it does not, replace it with a new one.

3. If the above steps do not x the Setup Conguration problem, contact your

vendor for repairs.

3-2 Technical Support Procedures

Before contacting Technical Support, please take the following steps. Also, note

that as a motherboard manufacturer, Supermicro does not sell directly to end-us-

ers, so it is best to rst check with your distributor or reseller for troubleshooting

3-3 Frequently Asked Questions

Question: What type of memory does my motherboard support?

Answer: The C2SBX/C2SBX+ supports unbuffered, D DR 3

1600/1333/1066/800 MHz memory modules. See Section 2-4 for details on

installing memory.

Question: When I plug in my 1600 MHz XMP DDR3 memory into my C2SBX/

C2SBX+ motherboard, it only shows that it's running at 1333MHz or 1066

MHz. How can I make it work at 1600MHz?

Answer: The C2SBX motherboard does not suppor t 1600MHz XMP memory.

However for the C2SBX+, please enable 1600MHz XMP mode in the BIOS:

Enter the BIOS setup, go to Advanced -> Advanced Chipset Control -> XMP

Function and select “Extreme”.

Note: If the C2SBX+ motherboard detects that the memory installed is not

suited for 1600MHz XMP operation, the BIOS activates a protection routine to

lower its clock speed to 1066MHz or 1333MHz automatically. This is to protect

the system so it can still boot with the proper clock speed.

Question: When I plug in my 1600 MHz XMP DDR3 memory into my C2SBX+

motherboard, the system hangs. How can I make it work at 1600MHz?

Answer: This is an issue with some memory vendors. Insert the memory

module in the motherboard's black-colored slots.

3-3

C2SBX/C2SBX+ User's Manual

Question: How do I update my BIOS?

Answer: It is recommended that you do not upgrade your BIOS if you are not

experiencing any problems with your system. Updated BIOS les are located

on our web site at http://www.supermicro.com/support/bios/. Please check our

BIOS warning message and the information on how to update your BIOS on our

web site. Select your motherboard model and download the BIOS (.rom) le to

your computer. Also, check the current BIOS revision and make sure that it is

newer than your BIOS before downloading. You may choose the zip le or the

.exe le. If you choose the zipped BIOS le, please unzip the BIOS le onto a

bootable device or a USB pen/thumb drive. To ash the BIOS, run the batch

le named "ash.bat" with the new BIOS .rom le from your bootable device or

USB pen/thumb drive. Use the following format:

F:\> ash xxxxxxxx.rom <Enter>

Note: Be sure to insert a space immediately after "ash" and use only the le

named “ash.bat” to update the BIOS.

When completed, your system will automatically reboot. If you choose the .exe

le, please run the .exe le under Windows to create the BIOS ash oppy disk.

Insert the oppy disk into the system you wish to ash the BIOS. Then, boot

the system to the oppy disk. The BIOS utility will automatically ash the BIOS

without any prompts. Please note that this process may take a few minutes to

complete. Do not be concerned if the screen is paused for a few minutes.

Warning: Do not shut down or reset the system while updating the BIOS

to prevent possible system boot failure!

When the BIOS ashing screen is completed, the system will reboot and will

show “Press F1 or F2”. At this point, you will need to load the BIOS defaults.

Press <F1> to go to the BIOS setup screen, and press <F9> to load the default

settings. Next, press <F10> to save and exit. The system will then reboot.

Note: The SPI BIOS chip installed on this motherboard is not removable. To

repair or replace a damaged BIOS chip, please send your motherboard to RMA

at Supermicro for service.

Question: What's on the CD that came with my motherboard?

Answer: The supplied compact disc has quite a few drivers and programs

that will greatly enhance your system. We recommend that you review the CD

and install the applications you need. Applications on the CD include chipset

drivers for the Windows OS, security and audio drivers.

3-4

Chapter 3: Troubleshooting

Question: How do I utilize the onboard HD sound?

Answer: The onboard HD sound available on the C2SBX/C2SBX+ can be

enabled with the audio driver soft ware that was included in your motherboard

package. When activated, sound will be routed through the jacks next to the

LAN Port according to the audio connection descriptions listed on Page 2-8.

You must also set the HD Audio setting to "Auto" in the Advanced Chipset

section of the BIOS setup.

Question: I installed my microphone correctly but I can't record any sound.

What should I do?

Answer: Go to <Start>, <Programs>, <Accessories>, <Entertainment> and

then <Volume Control>. Under the Properties tab, scroll down the list of de-

vices in the menu and check the box beside "Microphone".

Question: How do I connect the ATA100/66 cable to my IDE device(s)?

Answer: The 80-wire/40-pin high-density ATA100/66 IDE cable that came

with your system has two connectors to suppor t two drives. This special cable

must be used to take advantage of the speed the ATA100/66 technology offers.

Connect the blue connector to the onboard IDE header and the other

connector(s) to your hard drive(s). Consult the documentation that came

with your disk drive for details on actual jumper locations and settings.

BIOS

4-1 Introduction

This chapter describes the Phoenix BIOS™ Setup utility for the C2SBX/C2SBX+.

The Phoenix ROM BIOS is stored in a ash chip and can be easily upgraded using

a oppy disk-based program.

Note: Due to periodic changes to the BIOS, some settings may have been added

or deleted and might not yet be recorded in this manual. Please refer to the Manual

Download area of the Supermicro web site <http://www.supermicro.com> for any

changes to the BIOS that may not be reected in this manual.

System BIOS

BIOS is the Basic Input Output System used in all IBM® PC, XT™, AT®, and PS/2®

compatible computers. The Phoenix BIOS stores the system parameters, types of

disk drives, video displays, etc. in the CMOS. The CMOS memory requires very

little electrical power. When the computer is turned off, a backup battery provides

power to the CMOS logic, enabling it to retain system parameters. Each time the

computer is powered on the computer is congured with the values stored in the

CMOS logic by the system BIOS, which gains control at boot up.

HowToChangetheCongurationData

The CMOS information that determines the system parameters may be changed by

entering the BIOS Setup utility. This Setup utility can be accessed by pressing the

<Delete> key at the appropriate time during system boot. (See below.)

Starting the Setup Utility

Normally, the only visible POST (Power On Self Test) routine is the memory test. As

the memory is being tested, press the <Delete> key to enter the main menu of the

Warning: Any temperature that exceeds the CPU threshold temperature

predened by the CPU manufacturer may result in CPU overheat or system

instability. When the CPU temperature reaches this predened threshold, the

CPU and system cooling fans will run at full speed.

The options are:

The Default Alarm Setting: Select this setting if you want the CPU overheat alarm

(including the LED and the buzzer) to be triggered when the CPU temperature

reaches about 5oC above the threshold temperature as predened by the CPU

manufacturer to give the CPU and system fans additional time needed for CPU

and system cooling.

The Early Alarm Setting: Select this setting if you want the CPU overheat alarm

(including the LED and the buzzer) to be triggered as soon as the CPU temperature

reaches the CPU overheat threshold as predened by the CPU manufacturer.

CPU Temperature

The CPU Temperature feature will display the CPU temperature status as detected

by the BIOS:

Low – This level is considered as the ‘normal’ operating state. The CPU temperature

is well below the CPU ‘Temperature Tolerance’. The motherboard fans and CPU will

run normally as congured in the BIOS (Fan Speed Control).

User intervention: No action required.

4-17

C2SBX/C2SBX+ User's Manual

Medium – The processor is running warmer. This is a ‘precautionary’ level and

generally means that there may be factors contributing to this condition, but the CPU

is still within its normal operating state and below the CPU ‘Temperature Tolerance’.

The motherboard fans and CPU will run normally as congured in the BIOS. The

fans may adjust to a faster speed depending on the Fan Speed Control settings.

User intervention: No action is required. However, consider checking the CPU

fans and the chassis ventilation for blockage.

High – The processor is running hot. This is a ‘caution’ level since the CPU’s ‘Tem-

perature Tolerance’ has been reached (or has been exceeded) and may activate

an overheat alarm:

The Default Alarm – the Overheat LED and system buzzer will activate if the High

condition continues for some time after it is reached. The CPU fan will run at full

speed to bring the CPU temperature down. If the CPU temperature still increases

even with the CPU fan running at full speed, the system buzzer will activate and

the Overheat LED will turn on.

The Early Alarm – the Overheat LED and system buzzer will be activated exactly

when the High level is reached. The CPU fan will run at full speed to bring the

CPU temperature down.

Note: In both the alarms above, please take immediate action as shown below.

See CPU Overheat Alarm to modify the above alarm settings.

User intervention: If the system buzzer and Overheat LED has activated, take

action immediately by checking the system fans, chassis ventilation and room

temperature to correct any problems. Note: the system may shut down if it con-

tinues for a long period to prevent damage to the CPU.

Notes: The CPU thermal technology that reports absolute temperatures

(Celsius/Fahrenheit) has been upgraded to a more advanced feature by Intel

in its newer processors. The basic concept is that each CPU is embedded

by a unique temperature information that the motherboard can read. This

‘Temperature Threshold’ or ‘Temperature Tolerance’ has been assigned at

the factory and is the baseline by which the motherboard takes action during

different CPU temperature conditions (i.e., by increasing CPU Fan speed,

triggering the Overheat Alarm, etc). Since CPUs can have different ‘Tem-

perature Tolerances’, the installed CPU can now send its ‘Temperature Toler-

ance’ to the motherboard resulting in better CPU thermal management.

Supermicro has leveraged this feature by assigning a temperature status to

certain thermal conditions in the processor (Low, Medium and High). This

makes it easier for the user to understand the CPU’s temperature status,

rather than by just simply seeing a temperature reading (i.e., 25oC).

The information provided above is for your reference only. For more information on

thermal management, please refer to Intel’s Web site at www.Intel.com.

Chapter 4: BIOS

System Temperature

This feature displays the absolute system temperature (i.e., 34oC).

Fan1 - Fan 5

If the feature of Auto Fan Control is enabled, the BIOS will automatically display

the status of the fan as specied.

Fan Speed Control Modes

This feature allows the user to decide how the system controls the speeds of the

onboard fans. The CPU temperature and the fan speed are correlative. When

the CPU on-die temperature increases, the fan speed will also increase, and vice

versa. If the option is set to “4-pin”, the fan speed will be controlled by Pulse Width

Modulation (PWM). Select “Workstation” if your system is used as a Workstation.

Select “Disable” to disable the fan speed control function to allow the onboard

fans to constantly run at full speed (12V). The Options are: 1. Disable and 2.

Optimized for Workstations with 4-pin.

Note: In the Windows OS environment, the Supero Doctor III settings take pre-

cedence over the BIOS settings. When rst installed, Supero Doctor III adopts

the temperature threshold settings previously set in the BIOS. Any subsequent

changes to these thresholds must be made within Supero Doctor, since the

SD III settings override the BIOS settings. For the Windows OS to adopt the

BIOS temperature threshold settings, please change the SDIII settings to be

the same as those set in the BIOS.
