S UPER S2QR6/S2QE6 User's Manual ATI Graphics Controller (S2QE6 only) The S2QE6 has an integrated ATI video controller based on the Rage XL graphics chip. The Rage XL is the first accelerator in the world to provide integrated support for digital flat panel monitors. It contains 8 MB VGA memory and fully supports sideband addressing. Working with system memory, this onboard graphics package can provide a bandwidth of up to 1 GB/sec over a 64-bit interface. Introduction 1-4 PC Health Monitoring This section describes the PC health monitoring features of the SUPER S2QR6/S2QE6. The board has an onboard System Hardware Monitor chip that supports PC health monitoring.
Eight Onboard Voltage Monitors for the CPU Cores, Chipset Voltage, +2.5V, +3.3V, + 5V and + 12V The onboard voltage monitor will scan these eight voltages continuously. Once a voltage becomes unstable, it will give a warning or send an error message to the screen. Users can adjust the voltage thresholds to define the sensitivity of the voltage monitor. Four-Fan Status Monitor with Firmware/Software On/Off Control The PC health monitor can check the RPM status of the cooling fans. The onboard 3-pin CPU and chassis fans are controlled by the power manage- ment functions. The thermal fan is controlled by the overheat detection logic.
Environmental Temperature Control The thermal control sensor monitors the CPU temperature in real time and will turn on the thermal control fan whenever the CPU temperature exceeds a user-defined threshold. The overheat circuitry runs independently from the CPU. It can continue to monitor for overheat conditions even when the CPU is in sleep mode. Once it detects that the CPU temperature is too high, it will automatically turn on the thermal control fan to prevent any overheat damage to the CPU. The onboard chassis thermal circuitry can monitor the overall system temperature and alert users when the chassis temperature is too high. 1-14
