a system monitoring program to indicate that the rotation of the CPU fan is slow. If this happens,
you may turn the speed control knob fully clockwise to increase the fan speed, set “CPU Fan
Detected” to “Disabled” in the BIOS settings, or set the slowest rotation of the CPU fan in the
system monitoring program to less than or equal to 1500RPM.
Note 1) Some mainboards do not boot if the rotation of the CPU fan is below a certain number of
RPM. If the BIOS settings are updated, Silent Mode can be used. For more information on
updating BIOS , please refer to your mainboard manufacturer’s web site.
5. First check what CPU you are using, then check the CPU compatibility list on page 2. When the
speed control knob is turned fully counter-clockwise, the fan speed is minimum and the fan operates
in silent mode. You can select the desired fan speed by turning the knob.
