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 PC Health Monitoring

This section describes the features of PC health monitoring of the motherboard.

This motherboard has an onboard System_Hardware_Monitor chip that supports

PC health monitoring. An onboard voltage monitor will scan the voltages of onboard

chipset, memory, CPU, and battery continuously. 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 dene the sensitivity of the voltage monitor.

Environmental Temperature Control

A thermal control sensor monitors the CPU temperature in real time and will turn

on the thermal control fan whenever the CPU temperature exceeds a user-dened

threshold. The overheat circuitry runs independently from the CPU. 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 airow to your system.

System Resource Alert

This feature is available when used with SuperDoctor® III in the Windows OS

environment or used with SuperDoctor II in Linux. SuperDoctor is used to notify

the user of certain system events. For example, you can congure SuperDoctor

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

voltages and fan speeds go beyond a predened range.

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 7, Windows Vista and Windows

2008 Operating Systems.

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.

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.

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 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.

Note: The X9DRT-HF/HIBQF/HIBFF motherboard supports proprietary

power connectors.

X9DRT-HF/HIBQF/HIBFF Motherboard User’s Manual

1-7 Super I/O

The X9DRT-HF/HIBQF/HIBFF motherboard supports two 16550-compatible serial

communication connections. COM Port 1, located on the rear IO backplane, can

be used for input/output. The other supports SOL only. 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 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.

1-8 Advanced Power Management

The following new advanced power management features are supported by the

motherboard.

Intel® Intelligent Power Node Manager (NM) (Available
when the NMView software is installed)

The Intel® Intelligent Power Node Manager (IPNM) provides your system with

real-time thermal control and power management for maximum energy efciency.

Although IPNM Specication Version 1.5/2.0 is supported by the BMC (Baseboard

Management Controller), your system must also have IPNM-compatible Manage-

ment Engine (ME) rmware installed to use this feature.

Note: Support for IPNM Specication Version 1.5 or Version 2.0 depends

on the power supply used in the system.

Management Engine (ME)

The Management Engine, which is an ARC controller embedded in the IOH (I/O

Hub), provides Server Platform Services (SPS) to your system. The services

provided by SPS are different from those provided by the ME on client platforms.

1-9 Overview of the Nuvoton WPCM450 Controller

The Nuvoton WPCM450R Controller, a Baseboard Management Controller

(BMC), supports 2D/ VGA-compatible Graphic Cores with PCI interface, creating

multi-media virtualization via Keyboard/Video/Mouse Redirection (KVMR). The
