sound of the alarm resembles that of the siren of an ambulance.

The “failure detection” circuit requires a fan to operate at

greater than 3600 RPM.

+3.3V, +5V and +12V Voltages

Set these fields to “Monitor” if you want the system board to

detect the output voltage of the power supply. If the output

voltage is over or under +3.3V/+5V/+12V (±10%), an alarm

will sound warning you of voltage issue. The sound of the alarm

is continuous low to high beeps but shor ter than the

temperature alarm. Some of the most common causes leading

to unstable output voltage of a power supply are:

- The power supply is not functioning normally. Turn off your

system and replace the power supply.

- The AC input from the power outlet to your system is

unstable. Please consult your MIS department or an

electrician.
