Chapter 2
Server Installation
2-1 Overview
This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your 1026T-6RFT+/1026T-6F+
up and running. Following these steps in the order given should enable you to have
the system operational within a minimum amount of time. This quick setup assumes
that your system has come to you with the processors and memory pre-installed. If
your system is not already fully integrated with a serverboard, processors, system
memory etc., please turn to the chapter or section noted in each step for details on
installing specifi c components.
2-2 Unpacking the System
You should inspect the box the 1026T-6RFT+/1026T-6F+ was shipped in and note
if it was damaged in any way. If the server itself shows damage you should fi le a
damage claim with the carrier who delivered it.
Decide on a suitable location for the rack unit that will hold the server. It should be
situated in a clean, dust-free area that is well ventilated. Avoid areas where heat,
electrical noise and electromagnetic fi elds are generated. Y ou will also need it placed
near a grounded power outlet. Be sure to read the Rack and Server Precautions
in the next section.
2-3 Preparing for Setup
The box the server was shipped in should include two sets of rail assemblies, two
rail mounting brackets and the mounting screws you will need to install the system
into the rack. Follow the steps in the order given to complete the installation process
in a minimum amount of time. Please read this section in its entirety before you
begin the installation procedure outlined in the sections that follow.
Choosing a Setup Location
Leave enough clearance in front of the rack to enable you to open the front door •
completely (~25 inches) and approximately 30 inches of clearance in the back
of the rack to allow for suffi cient airfl ow and ease in servicing.This product is for

installation only in a Restricted Access Location (dedicated equipment rooms,
service closets and the like).
This product is not suitable for use with visual display work place devices
•
acccording to §2 of the the German Ordinance for Work with Visual Display
Units.
Warnings and Precautions!
Rack Precautions
Ensure that the leveling jacks on the bottom of the rack are fully extended to •
the fl oor with the full weight of the rack resting on them.
In single rack installation, stabilizers should be attached to the rack. In multiple
•
rack installations, the racks should be coupled together.
Always make sure the rack is stable before extending a component from the
•
rack.
You should extend only one component at a time - extending two or more si-
•
multaneously may cause the rack to become unstable.
Server Precautions
Review the electrical and general safety precautions in Chapter 4.•
Determine the placement of each component in the rack • before you install the
rails.
Install the heaviest server components on the bottom of the rack fi rst, and then
•
work up.
Use a regulating uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect the server from
•
power surges, voltage spikes and to keep your system operating in case of a
power failure.
Allow the hot plug SAS drives and power supply modules to cool before touch-
•
ing them.
•
Always keep the rack's front door and all panels and components on the servers
closed when not servicing to maintain proper cooling.
2-2
Chapter 2: Server Installation
Rack Mounting Considerations
Ambient Operating Temperature
If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the ambient operating temperature of the rack environment may be greater than the ambient temperature of the
room. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an
environment compatible with the manufacturer’s maximum rated ambient temperature (Tmra).
Reduced Airfl ow
Equipment should be mounted into a rack so that the amount of airfl ow required
for safe operation is not compromised.
Mechanical Loading
Equipment should be mounted into a rack so that a hazardous condition does not
arise due to uneven mechanical loading.
Circuit Overloading
Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the power
supply circuitry and the effect that any possible overloading of circuits might have
on overcurrent protection and power supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of
equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
Reliable Ground
A reliable ground must be maintained at all times. To ensure this, the rack itself
should be grounded. Particular attention should be given to power supply connections other than the direct connections to the branch circuit (i.e. the use of power
strips, etc.).

SUPERSERVER 1026T-6RFT+/1026T-6F+ User's Manual
2-4 Installing the System into a Rack
This section provides information on installing the server into a rack unit with the
rack rails provided. If the system has already been mounted into a rack, you can
skip ahead to Sections 2-5 and 2-6. There are a variety of rack units on the market,
which may mean the assembly procedure will differ slightly. You should also refer to
the installation instructions that came with the rack unit you are using.
Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails
You should have received two rack rail assemblies in the rack mounting kit. Each
assembly consists of two sections: an inner fi xed chassis rail that secures directly
to the server chassis and an outer fi xed rack rail that secures directly to the rack
itself (see Figure 2-1).
Note: The rails will fi t a rack between 26" and 33.5" deep.

Inner Rails
The SC119 chassis inner rails are composed of two sections: inner rails and inner
rail extensions. The inner rails are pre-attached and do not interfere with normal use
of the chassis if you decide not to use a server rack. Attach the inner rail extension
to stabilize the chassis within the rack.
Installing the Inner Rails
Place the inner rail extensions on the side of the chassis aligning the hooks 1.
of the chassis with the rail extension holes. Make sure the extension faces
"outward" just like the pre-attached inner rail.
Slide the extension toward the front of the chassis.2.
Secure the chassis with 2 screws as illustrated.3.
Repeat steps 1-3 for the other inner rail extension.4.

Outer Rails
Installing the Outer Rails to the Rack
Attach the shorter outer rail to the outside of the longer outer rail. You must 1.
align the pins with the slides. Both bracket ends must face the same direction.
Adjust the outer rails so that they fi t snugly within the rack.2.
Secure the longer outer rail to the front of the rackl with two screws3.
Secire the shorter outer rail to the rear rack with three screws. 4.
Repeat steps 1-4 for the remaining outer rail.5.
Locking Tabs
Both chassis rails have a locking tab, which serves two functions. The fi rst is to
lock the server into place when installed and pushed fully into the rack, which is
its normal position. Secondly, these tabs also lock the server in place when fully
extended from the rack. This prevents the server from coming completely out of
the rack when you pull it out for servicing.

SUPERSERVER 1026T-6RFT+/1026T-6F+ User's Manual
Installing the Server into a Telco Rack
To install the chassis into a Telco type rack, use two L-shaped brackets on either
side of the chassis (four total). First, determine how far the server will extend out the
front of the rack. Larger chassis should be positioned to balance the weight between
front and back. If a bezel is included on your server, remove it. Then attach the two
front brackets to each side of the chassis, then the two rear brackets positioned with
just enough space to accommodate the width of the telco rack. Finish by sliding the
chassis into the rack and tightening the brackets to the rack.

After you install the system in the rack, you will need to open the top cover to
make sure the serverboard is properly installed and all the connections have been
made.
Accessing the Inside of the System
First, grasp the two handles on either side and pull the system straight out 1.
until it locks (you will hear a "click").
Next, release the thumbscrew at the middle rear of the top cover. Then press 2.
the two buttons on the top of the chassis to release the top cover.
2-8
Chapter 2: Server Installation
Push the cover away from you (toward the rear of the chassis) until it stops. 3.
You can then lift the top cover from the chassis to gain full access to the
inside of the server.
To remove the system from the rack completely, press the locking tabs in 4.
the chassis rails (push the right-side tab down and the left-side tab up) to
continue to pull the system out past the locked position.
Checking the Components
You may have one or two processors already installed in the serverboard. 1.
Each processor needs its own heatsink. See Chapter 5 for instructions on
processor and heatsink installation.
Your server system may have come with system memory already installed. 2.
Make sure all DIMMs are fully seated in their slots. For details on adding
system memory, refer to Chapter 5.
If desired, you can install an add-on card to the system. See Chapter 5 for 3.
details on installing PCI add-on cards.
Make sure all power and data cables are properly connected and not blocking 4.
the chassis airfl ow. See Chapter 5 for details on cable connections.
2-6 Checking the Drive Bay Setup
Next, you should check to make sure the peripheral drives and the hard drives and
backplane have been properly installed and all connections have been made.
Checking the Drives
All drives are accessable from the front of the server. The hard disk drives 1.
can be installed and removed from the front of the chassis without removing
the top chassis cover.
A slim DVD-ROM drive should be preinstalled in your server. For servicing 2.
the DVD-ROM drive, you will need to remove the top chassis cover. Refer to
Chapter 6 if you need to reinstall a DVD-ROM drive to the system.
Depending upon your system's confi guration, your system may have one or 3.
more drives already installed. If you need to install hard drives, please refer to
Chapter 6.

SUPERSERVER 1026T-6RFT+/1026T-6F+ User's Manual
Checking the Airfl ow
Airfl ow is provided by fi ve sets of 4-cm fans (each set of fans consists of 1.
two fans that are mounted back to back). The system component layout was
carefully designed to direct suffi cient cooling airfl ow to the components that
generate the most heat.
Note that all power and data cables have been routed in such a way that they 2.
do not block the airfl ow generated by the fans.
Providing Power
The last thing you must do is to provide input power to the system. Plug the 1.
power cord from the power supply module into a high-quality power strip that
offers protection from electrical noise and power surges.
It is recommended that you use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) 2.
source.

3-1 Overview
There are several LEDs on the control panel as well as others on the hard drive
carriers to keep you constantly informed of the overall status of the system as well
as the activity and health of specifi c components. There are also three buttons on
the chassis control panel and an on/off switch on the power supply. This chapter
explains the meanings of all LED indicators and the appropriate response you may
need to take.
3-2 Control Panel Buttons
There are three push-buttons located on the front of the chassis: UID button, a reset
button and a power on/off button.
UID
Depressing the UID (unit identifi er) button illuminates an LED on both the front and
rear of the chassis for easy system location in large stack confi gurations. The LED
will remain on until the button is pushed a second time. Another UID button on the
rear of the chassis serves the same function.
Reset
The reset button is used to reboot the system.
Power
The main power switch is used to apply or remove power from the power supply
to the server system. Turning off system power with this button removes the main
power but keeps standby power supplied to the system.

3-3 Control Panel LEDs
The control panel located on the front of the SC1 19TQ chassis has fi ve LEDs. These
LEDs provide you with critical information related to different parts of the system.
This section explains what each LED indicates when illuminated and any corrective
action you may need to take.
UID/Overheat/Fan Fail/Power Fail
This LED turns on when either the front or the rear UID button is pushed. Pushing
either button a second time will turn this LED off.
When this LED fl ashes it indicates a fan failure. When on continuously (on and not
fl ashing) it indicates an overheat condition, which may be caused by cables obstructing the airfl ow in the system or the ambient room temperature being too warm.
Check the routing of the cables and make sure all fans are present and operating
normally. You should also check to make sure that the chassis covers are installed.
Finally, verify that the heatsinks are installed properly (see Chapter 5). This LED
will remain fl ashing or on as long as the overheat condition exists.

4-1 Electrical Safety Precautions
Basic electrical safety precautions should be followed to protect yourself from harm
and the SuperServer 1026T-6RFT+/1026T-6F+ from damage:
Be aware of the locations of the power on/off switch on the chassis as well
•
as the room's emergency power-off switch, disconnection switch or electrical
outlet. If an electrical accident occurs, you can then quickly remove power from
the system.
Do not work alone when working with high voltage components.
•
Power should always be disconnected from the system when removing or in-•
stalling main system components, such as the serverboard, memory modules
and fl oppy drive. When disconnecting power, you should fi rst power down the
system with the operating system fi rst and then unplug the power cords of all
the power supply units in the system.
When working around exposed electrical circuits, another person who is familiar
•
with the power-off controls should be nearby to switch off the power if necessary.
Use only one hand when working with powered-on electrical equipment. This
•
is to avoid making a complete circuit, which will cause electrical shock. Use
extreme caution when using metal tools, which can easily damage any electrical
components or circuit boards they come into contact with.
Do not use mats designed to decrease static electrical discharge as protection
•
from electrical shock. Instead, use rubber mats that have been specifi cally
designed as electrical insulators.
The power supply power cords must include a grounding plug and must be
•
plugged into grounded electrical outlets. The unit has more than one power

supply cord. Disconnect both power supply cords before servicing to avoid
electrical shock
Serverboard Battery:
• CAUTION - There is a danger of explosion if the onboard
battery is installed upside down, which will reverse its polarites (see Figure 4-1).
This battery must be replaced only with the same or an equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer (CR2032). Dispose of used batteries according to
the manufacturer's instructions.
DVD-ROM Laser:
• CAUTION - this server may have come equipped with a
DVD-ROM drive. To prevent direct exposure to the laser beam and hazardous
radiation exposure, do not open the enclosure or use the unit in any unconventional way.
Mainboard replaceable soldered-in fuses: Self-resetting PTC (Positive Tempera-
•
ture Coeffi cient) fuses on the mainboard must be replaced by trained service
technicians only. The new fuse must be the same or equivalent as the one
replaced (CR2032). Contact technical support for details and support.
4-2 General Safety Precautions
Follow these rules to ensure general safety:
Keep the area around the system clean and free of clutter.
•
The 1026T-6RFT+/1026T-6F+ weighs approximately 42• lbs. (19.1 kg.). When
lifting the system, two people at either end should lift slowly with their feet
spread out to distribute the weight. Always keep your back straight and lift with
your legs.
Place the chassis top cover and any system components that have been re-
•
moved away from the system or on a table so that they won't accidentally be
stepped on.
While working on the system, do not wear loose clothing such as neckties and
•
unbuttoned shirt sleeves, which can come into contact with electrical circuits or
be pulled into a cooling fan.
4-2
Chapter 4: System Safety
!
Remove any jewelry or metal objects from your body, which are excellent metal •
conductors that can create short circuits and harm you if they come into contact
with printed circuit boards or areas where power is present.
After accessing the inside of the system, close the system back up and secure
•
it to the rack unit after ensuring that all connections have been made.
4-3 ESD Precautions
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) is generated by two objects with different electrical
charges coming into contact with each other. An electrical discharge is created to
neutralize this difference, which can damage electronic com ponents and printed
circuit boards. The following measures are generally suffi cient to neutralize this
difference before contact is made to protect your equipment from ESD:
Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.
•
Keep all components and printed circuit boards (PCBs) in their antistatic bags •
until ready for use.
Touch a grounded metal object before removing the board from the antistatic
•
bag.
Do not let components or PCBs come into contact with your clothing, which may
•
retain a charge even if you are wearing a wrist strap.
Handle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral chips,
•
memory modules or contacts.
When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.
•
Put the serverboard 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 serverboard.

5-1 Handling the Serverboard
Static electrical discharge can damage electronic com ponents. To prevent damage
to printed circuit boards, it is important to handle them very carefully (see Chapter 4).
Also note that the size and weight of the serverboard can cause it to bend if handled
improperly, which may result in damage. To prevent the serverboard from bending,
keep one hand under the center of the board to support it when handling.
The following measures are generally suffi cient to protect your equipment from
static discharge.
Precautions
Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.•
Touch a grounded metal object before removing any board from its antistatic •
bag.
Handle a 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 serverboard, add-on cards and peripherals back into their antistatic •
bags when not in use.
Unpacking
The serverboard is shipped in antistatic packaging to avoid static damage. When
unpacking the board, make sure the person handling it is static protected.

5-3 Connecting Cables
Now that the processors are installed, the next step is to connect the cables to
the serverboard.
Connecting Data Cables
The cables used to transfer data from the peripheral devices have been carefully
routed in preconfi gured systems to prevent them from blocking the fl ow of cooling
air that moves through the system from front to back. If you need to disconnect any
of these cables, you should take care to reroute them as they were originally after
reconnecting them (make sure the red wires connect to the pin 1 locations). If you
are confi guring the system, keep the airfl ow in mind when routing the cables.
The following data cables (with their connector locations noted) should be connected. See the serverboard layout diagram in this chapter for connector locations.
DVD-ROM drive cable (SATA0)
•
SAS cables (SAS0 ~ SAS3, SAS4 ~ SAS7)•
Control Panel cable (JF1, see next page)•
Connecting Power Cables
The X8DTU-6TF+/X8DTU-6F+ has a 24-p in p r i m ary powe r s up p ly conne c to r d esignated "JPW1" for conne c ti on to t he ATX power su ppl y. Connec t t he ap pro pr iate
connector from the power supply to JPW1 to supply power to the ser verboard.
See the Connector Defi nitions section in this chapter for power connector pin
defi nitions.
In addition, your power supply must be connected to the 8-pin Processor Power
connectors at JPW2 and JPW3.
Connecting the Control Panel
JF1 contains header pins for various front control panel connectors. See Figure 5-1
for the pin locations of the front control panel buttons and LED indicators. Please
note that even and odd numbered pins are on opposite sides of each header.
All JF1 wires have been bundled into single keyed ribbon cable to simplify their
connection. The red wire in the ribbon cable plugs into pin 1 of JF1. Connect the
other end of the cable to the Control Panel printed circuit board, located just behind
the system status LEDs in the chassis.
See the Connector Defi nitions section in this chapter for details and pin descrip-
tions of JF1.

5-6 Adding PCI Cards
PCI Expansion Slots
The X8DTU-6TF+/X8DTU-6F+ has one Universal PCI slot. Riser cards installed
to the system allow you to add PCI expansion cards (see below). The SC119TQR700UB chassis can support the use of two standard size (full-height, full-length)
expansion cards and one low-profi le (5.6" length) expansion card (with pre-installed
riser cards).
PCI Card Installation
Before installing a PCI add-on card, make sure you power off the system fi rst. Begin
by removing the top chassis cover. Two riser cards should be pre-installed into the
system. Remove the screws that secure the riser cards to the rear of the chassis
then lift the riser card assembly from the chassis. Insert the PCI card into the riser
card slot, pushing down with your thumbs evenly on both sides of the card - note
that the add-on card attaches to the riser card with a single screw. After the card
has been installed, reinsert the riser card back into the expansion slot on the board,
then secure it with the same screws you removed previously. Finish by replacing
the chassis cover.

Explanation of Jumpers
To modify the operation of the
serverboard, jumpers can be used
to choose between optional settings.
Jumpers create shorts between two
pins to change the function of the
connector. Pin 1 is identifi ed with a
square solder pad on the printed circuit board. See the diagram at right for
an example of jumping pins 1 and 2.
Refer to the serverboard layout page
for jumper locations.
Note: On two-pin jumpers, "Closed"
means the jumper is on and "Open"
means the jumper is off the pins.

This chapter covers the steps required to install components and perform maintenance on the SC119TQ chassis. For component installation, follow the steps in the
order given to eliminate the most common problems encountered. If some steps
are unnecessary, skip ahead to the next step.
Tools Required: The only tool you will need to install components and perform
maintenance is a Philips screwdriver.
6-1 Static-Sensitive Devices
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic com ponents. To prevent
damage to any printed circuit boards (PCBs), it is important to handle them very
carefully. The following measures are generally suffi cient to protect your equipment
from ESD damage.
Precautions
Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.•
Touch a grounded metal object before removing any board from its antistatic •
bag.
Handle a 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 serverboard, add-on cards 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 serverboard.

6-2 Control Panel
The control panel (located on the front of the chassis) must be connected to the JF1
connector on the serverboard to provide you with system status indications. These
wires have been bundled together as a ribbon cable to simplify the connection.
Connect the cable from JF1 on the serverboard to the appropriate header on the
Control Panel PCB (printed circuit board). Make sure the red wire plugs into pin 1
on both connectors. Pull all excess cabling out of the airfl ow path.
The control panel LEDs inform you of system status. See "Chapter 3: System Interface" for details on the LEDs and the control panel buttons. Details on JF1 can
be found in "Chapter 5: Advanced Serverboard Setup."
6-3 System Fans
The SC119 chassis contains four counter-rotating fans. Each fan unit is actually
made up of two fans joined back-to-back, which rotate in opposite directions. This
counter-rotating action generates exceptional airfl ow and works to dampen vibra-
tion levels.
The SC119 chassis provides two additional open fan housings, where an additional
system fan may be added for optimal cooling.

Chapter 6: Advanced Chassis Setup
System Fan Failure
Fan speed is controlled by system temperature via a BIOS setting (Fan Speed
Control Modes). If a fan fails, the remaining fan will ramp up to full speed and the
overheat/fan fail LED on the control panel will turn on. Replace any failed fan at
your earliest convenience with the same type and model (the system can continue
to run with a failed fan).
Remove the top chassis cover while the system is still running to determine which of
the fans has failed. Then power down the system before replacing a fan. Removing
the power cord(s) is also recommended as a safety precaution.

6-4 Power Supply
The SuperServer 1026T-6RFT+/1026T-6F+ has a 700 watt redundant power supply
consisting of two power modules. Each power supply module has an auto-switching
capability, which enables it to automatically sense and operate at a 100V - 240V
input voltage.
Power Supply Failure
If either of the two power supply modules fail, the other module will take the full
load and allow the system to continue operation without interruption. The PWR Fail
LED will illuminate and remain on until the failed unit has been replaced. Replacement units can be ordered directly from Supermicro. The power supply units have
a hot-swap capability, meaning you can replace the failed unit without powering
down the system.

BIOS
7-1 Introduction
This chapter describes the AMI BIOS Setup Utility for the X8DTU-6F+/X8DTU-6TF+.
The AMI ROM BIOS is stored in a Flash EEPROM and can be easily updated.
This chapter describes the basic navigation of the AMI BIOS Setup Utility setup
screens.
Starting BIOS Setup Utility
To enter the AMI BIOS Setup Utility screens, press the <Delete> key while the
system is booting up.
Note: In most cases, the <Delete> key is used to invoke the AMI BIOS
setup screen. There are a few cases when other keys are used, such as
<F1>, <F2>, etc.
Each main BIOS menu option is described in this manual. The Main BIOS setup
menu screen has two main frames. The left frame displays all the options that can
be confi gured. Grayed-out options cannot be confi gured. Options in blue can be
confi gured by the user. The right frame displays the key legend. Above the key
legend is an area reserved for a text message. When an option is selected in the
left frame, it is highlighted in white. Often a text message will accompany it. (Note:
the AMI BIOS has default text messages built in. Supermicro retains the option to
include, omit, or change any of these text messages.)
The AMI BIOS Setup Utility uses a key-based navigation system called "hot keys".
Most of the AMI BIOS setup utility "hot keys" can be used at any time during the
setup navigation process. These keys include <F1>, <F10>, <Enter>, <ESC>, arrow keys, etc.
Note: Options printed in Bold are default settings.
How To Change the Confi guration Data
The confi guration data that determines the system parameters may be changed by
entering the AMI BIOS Setup utility. This Setup utility can be accessed by pressing
<Del> at the appropriate time during system boot.

CPU 1 Temperature/CPU 2 Temperature/System Temperature
This feature displays current temperature readings for the CPU and the System.
The following items will be displayed for your reference only:
CPU1 Temperature/CPU2 Temperature
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 each CPU is embedded by unique temperature
information that the motherboard can read. This ‘Temperature Threshold’ or ‘Temperature Tolerance’ has been assigned at the factory and is the baseline on 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 ‘Temperature Tolerances’, the installed CPU can now send information to the motherboard what its ‘Temperature Tolerance’ is, and not the other way
around. This results 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., 25
o
C). 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 confi gured in the BIOS (Fan Speed Control).
User intervention: No action required.
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 confi 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 ‘Temperature Tolerance’ has been reached (or has been exceeded) and may activate
an overheat alarm.
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.
Notes: 1. The system may shut down if it continues for a long period to
prevent damage to the CPU.

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 for effective
system cooling. Select "Full Speed/FS" to allow the onboard fans to run at full
speed for maximum cooling. The FS setting is recommended for special system
confi guration or debugging. Select "Performance/PF" for better system cooling. The
PF setting is recommended for high-power-consuming and high-density systems.
Select "Balanced/BL" for the onboard fans to run at a speed that will balance the
needs between system cooling and power saving. The BL setting is recommended
for regular systems with normal hardware confi gurations. Select "Energy Saving/ES"
for best power effi ciency and maximum quietness. The Options are: Full Speed/FS,
Performance/PF, Balanced/BL, and Energy Saving/ES.
