CPU Overheat/Fan Fail LED and Control
This feature is available when the user enables the CPU overheat/Fan Fail warning
function in the BIOS. This allows the user to defi ne an overheat temperature. When
this temperature is exceeded or when a fan failure occurs, the Overheat/Fan Fail
warning LED is triggered.
Auto-Switching Voltage Regulator for the CPU Core
The 6-phase-switching voltage regulator for the CPU core can support up to
AMD Opteron 6000SE series processors. This will allow the regulator to run cooler
and thus make the system more stable.

Confi guration Settings
This section describes the features of your motherboard that deal with power and
power settings.
Microsoft OnNow
The OnNow design initiative is a comprehensive, system-wide approach to system
and device power control. OnNow is a term for a PC that is always on but appears
to be off and responds immediately to user or other requests.
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.
BIOS Support for USB Keyboard
If a USB keyboard is the only keyboard in the system, it will function like a normal
keyboard during system boot-up.
Main Switch Override Mechanism
The power button can function as a system suspend button. When the user
depresses the power button, the system will enter a SoftOff state. The monitor
will be suspended and the hard drive will spin down. Depressing the power button
again will cause the whole system to wake-up. During the SoftOff state, the power
supply provides power to keep the required circuitry in the system alive. In case the
system malfunctions and you want to turn off the power, just depress and hold the
power button for 4 seconds. The power will turn off and no power will be provided
to the motherboard.
