1-3 Special Features
Recovery from AC Power Loss
The Basic I/O System (BIOS) provides a setting that determines 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 press the power switch
to turn it back on), or for it to automatically return to the power-on state. See the
Advanced BIOS Setup section for this setting. The default setting is Last State.
1-4 System Health Monitoring
This motherboard has an onboard Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) that
supports system health monitoring, and it will scan the following onboard voltages
continuously: +1.05V, 1.5V, +3.3V, 3.3VSB, +5V, +5V Standby, +12V, chipset,
memory, CPU1/2 vcores, and battery voltages. Once a voltage becomes unstable,
a warning is given, or an error message is sent to the screen. The user can adjust
the voltage thresholds to dene the sensitivity of the voltage monitor.
Fan Status Monitor with Firmware Control
The onboard Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) can check the RPM status
of a cooling fan. The onboard CPU and chassis fans are controlled by the IPMI
2.0 interface.
Environmental Temperature Control
The BMC monitors the CPU temperature in real time and will turn on the thermal
control fan whenever the CPU temperature exceeds a user-dened threshold.
Once it detects that the CPU temperature is too high, it will automatically turn on
the thermal fan control to prevent the CPU from overheating. The onboard chassis
thermal circuitry can monitor the overall system temperature and alert the user when
the chassis temperature is too high.
Note: To avoid possible system overheating, please be sure to provide
adequate airow to your system.
System Resource Alert
This feature is available when used with SuperDoctor® 5. SuperDoctor 5 is
used to notify the user of certain system events. For example, you can congure
SuperDoctor 5 to provide you with warnings when the system/CPU temperatures,
CPU voltages and fan speeds go beyond a predened range.

1-5 ACPI Features
ACPI stands for Advanced Conguration and Power Interface. The ACPI specica-
tion denes a exible and abstract hardware interface that provides a standard
way 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 peripheral devices such as network cards, hard
disk drives and printers.
In addition to enabling operating_system-directed power management, ACPI also
provides a generic system event mechanism for Plug and Play, and an operating
system-independent interface for conguration control. ACPI leverages the Plug and
Play BIOS data structures, while providing a processor architecture-independent
implementation that is compatible with Windows 8/R2 and Windows 2012/R2 Op-
erating Systems.
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.
The X10DAi/DAC/DAX motherboard accommodates 24-pin ATX power supplies.
Although most power supplies generally meet the specications required by the
CPU, some are inadequate. In addition, two 8-pin power connections are also
required to ensure adequate power supply to the system. Your power supply must
also supply 1.5A for the Ethernet ports.
Warning: To prevent damage to the power supply or motherboard, please use a power
supply that contains a 24-pin and two 8-pin power connectors. Be sure to connect these
power supply connectors to the 24-pin (J24) and two 8-pin power connectors (JPWR1,
JPWR2) on the motherboard. Failure to do so will void the manufacturer warranty on
your power supply and motherboard.
It is strongly recommended that you use a high quality power supply that meets ATX
power supply Specication 2.02 or above. It must also be SSI compliant. (For more
information, please refer to the website at http://www.ssiforum.org/). Additionally, 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.
