Thermal Management

The thermal management supports one mode: active cooling (no performance loss, but noise production).

8.1

Active Cooling

Only the AMD

®

Hudson-E1 Controller Hub controls the fan. The ACPI interface has no influence on the fan

control - no 'Thermal Zone' part is implemented.
An Internal Micro-Controller (IMC) based on a 8051 core manages the temperature measurement and fan
control. The Bios Setup makes it possible to define different fan control algorithm, see the submenu '

Ad-

vanced/Miscellaneous/Active Cooling Configuration

'. You can choose between the LINEAR MODE and the

STEP MODE (entry '

Fan Speed Mode

'). The STEP MODE holds the fan speed constant within a temperature

range. See the submenu '

Enhanced Fan Control

' where you can define maximal 8 steps.

ACPI Wakeup

One wake event is possible: Wake On LAN (WOL).

9.1

Wake On LAN

9.1.1

Linux (Debian distributions)

Linux normally disables the wake functionality. This can be verified within the terminal with

cat /proc/acpi/wakeup

The following command allows the activation of a wake function (example

USB0):

echo USB0 > /proc/acpi/wakeup
