Desktop Management Interface (DMI)
The mainboard comes with DMI 2.0 built into the BIOS. The DMI utility in the
BIOS will automatically record different information about your system
configuration and store this information in the DMI pool, which is a part of the
system board's Plug and Play BIOS. DMI, along with the appropriately
networked software, is designed for easy inventory, maintenance and the
simplified troubleshooting of computer systems.

Introduction
1.4.1. Hardware Monitoring System Utility
The mainboards both come with the Hardware Monitoring System utility
contained on the CD. It is capable of monitoring the systems hardware
conditions such as the temperature of the processor, voltage, and the speed of
both the CPU and chassis fans. You are allowed to manually set a range to the
items being monitored. If the values are over or under the set range a warning
message will automatically pop up. We recommend that you use the Default
Settings, which are the ideal settings that will maintain the system in a good
working condition.
1.4.2. Installation
To install this utility, please insert the CD into the CD-ROM drive. The auto run
screen (Driver Utility) will automatically appear. Click the Hardware Monitoring
button, choose the chipset, model number and the OS that is installed. Please
refer to the CD “Readme” file for further installation instructions.
The mainboard is capable of monitoring the following health conditions of your
system:
1. Processor temperature. It has an overheat alarm.
2. VCORE/3.3V/5V/12V/-12V voltages and failure alarm.
3. Processor and chassis fan speeds. It has a failure alarm for these fans.
4. Read back capability that displays temperature, voltage and fan speed.

Wake-On-LAN Ready
The Wake-On-LAN function allows the network to remotely wake up a Soft
Power Down (Soft-Off) PC. Your LAN card must support the remote wakeup
function. The 5V SB power source of your power supply must be at least
720mA.
ACPI Ready
The mainboard is designed to meet the ACPI (Advanced Configuration and
Power Interface) specification. ACPI has energy saving features that support
OS Direct Power Management (OSPM) for round the clock PC operation.
