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 a power-on state. See

the Advanced BIOS Setup section 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 board. All have

an onboard System Hardware Monitoring chip that supports PC health monitoring.

Fan Status Monitor with Firmware Control

PC health monitoring in the BIOS can check the RPM status of the cooling fans.

The onboard CPU and chassis fans are controlled by Thermal Management.

Environmental Temperature Control

The thermal control sensor monitors CPU and system temperatures in real time,

and will turn on the thermal control fan whenever the CPU or system temperature

exceeds a user-dened threshold. The overheat circuitry runs independently from

the CPU. Once the thermal sensor detects that the CPU or the system temperature

is too high, it will automatically turn on the thermal fans to prevent the CPU or the

system 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 airow to your system.

System Resource Alert

This feature is available when the system is used with SuperDoctor 5 in the

Windows OS environment or Linux. SuperDoctor is used to notify the user of

certain system events. For example, you can also congure SuperDoctor 5 to

provide you with warnings when the system temperature, CPU temperatures,

voltages and fan speeds go beyond predened thresholds.

1-5 ACPI Features

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

tion denes 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 peripherals such as CD-ROMs, 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 conguration control. ACPI leverages the Plug and

Play BIOS data structures, while providing a processor architecture-independent

implementation that is compatible with Windows 64bit operating system.

Slow Blinking LED for Suspend-State Indicator

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

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.

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.

This motherboard accommodates 24-pin ATX power supplies. In addition to using

the 24-pin power supply, the 12V 4-pin power connector located at PJ1 can also

be used as another power source for space-restrainted application.

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

power supply Specication 2.02 or above. It must also be SSI compliant. (For more

information, please refer to the web site 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.

1-7 Super I/O

The Super I/O supports four 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 capability and a processor interrupt

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

1-14

X10SBA/X10SBA-L User’s Manual

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 ACPI (Advanced Conguration

and Power Interface), which includes support of legacy and ACPI power manage-

ment through an SMI or SCI function pin. It also features auto power management

to reduce power consumption.

Populating Memory Modules

1. Install the desired number of SO-DIMMs into the memory slots, starting with

JDIMM1, then JDIMM2. Pay attention to the notch along the bottom of the

module to prevent incorrect DIMM module installation.

2. Insert each SO-DIMM module at the proper angle and snap it into place. Repeat

step 1 to install JDIMM2. See the section below for more details on SO-DIMM

memory installation.

Note: Due to memory allocation to system devices, the amount of mem-

ory that remains available for operational use will be reduced when 4 GB

of RAM is used. The reduction in memory availability is disproportional.
