Frequently Asked Questions
A-9
It is highly recommended to adopt "Resetable" fuse in order to fully support
"Hot-Plug" feature on USB.
Q: What is Multi-language BIOS?
A: For giving AOpen 's worldwide users the best support, AOpen software team
made every effort to overcome all difficulties and successfully develop a
method to provide multi-language BIOS.
You may download and reflash a specified BIOS version from AOpen 's web
site (For example, Chinese, Japanese, German, etc.). After entering BIOS
Setup, you can switch to another language by pressing "F9". Then pressing
"F9" again will let you return to English screen.
This breakthrough will help you set BIOS items without the language barrier.
Q: What is Hardware Monitoring?
A: There are four high-valued “Hardware Monitoring” features being
implemented on AOpen ATX (AX5TC/AX6L/AX6LC/AX6B/AX6BC)
mainboard.
1. Over Current Protection: Providing over current protection for CPU
Vcore. In conjunction with the over current protection provided by ATX
power supply on 3.3V/5V/12V, it gives the full line over current protection.
2. System Voltage Monitoring: As you turn your system on, this smart
design will continue to monitor your system working voltage. If any of the
system voltage is over the component's standard, there will be warning
alarm from PC speaker when AOHW100 or ADM installed.
3. Thermal Protection: The higher speed of CPU, the more heat
dissipation ability is needed to be taken into consideration. If user does
not use a correct fan for the CPU cooling, it is highly possible the CPU
will be overheating and cause system unstable. AOpen mainboard
monitors CPU & System temperatures by using two thermal sensors.
4. Fan Monitoring: There are two three-pin fan connectors, one is for CPU
and the other one can be connected to the housing fan. The system will
report the rotational speed of the fan and alarm fan malfunction though
utility software such as AOHW100 or ADM.
