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 'Tem- perature Tolerance'
has been reached (or has been exceeded) and may activate an overheat alarm:
The Default Alarm - the Overheat LED and system buzzer will activate if the High condition continues
for some time after it is reached. The CPU fan will run at full speed to bring the CPU temperature
down. If the CPU temperature still increases even with the CPU fan running at full speed, the system
buzzer will activate and the Overheat LED will turn on.
The Early Alarm - the Overheat LED and system buzzer will be activated exactly when the High level is
reached. The CPU fan will run at full speed to bring the CPU temperature down.
Note: In both the alarms above, please take immediate action as shown below. See CPU Overheat
Alarm to modify the above alarm settings.
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. Note: the
system may shut down if it con- tinues for a long period to prevent damage to the CPU.
Notes: 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 that each CPU is embedded by a unique temperature information that the
motherboard can read. This
'Temperature Threshold' or 'Temperature Tolerance' has been assigned at the factory and is the
baseline by 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 'Tem-
perature Tolerances', the installed CPU can now send its 'Temperature Toler- ance' to the motherboard
resulting 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., 25oC).

ment, please refer to Intel's Web site at
CPUFAN / SYSFAN Speed
This feature displays the fan speed readings from fan interfaces Fan1 (CPU Fan)
and Fan2 (System Fan).
