Hardware Monitoring
Hardware monitoring allows you to monitor various aspects of your systems opera-
tions and status. These include features such as CPU temperature, voltage and fan
RPM’s. By entering the Award BIOS CMOS utility and selecting the Chipset Fea-
tures section you can monitor this information.
The EP-BX7/BX7+ is equipped with an ATX power supply connectors, which are
20-pin input devices for ATX power supplies. When attached to an ATX supply with
an 20-pin supply connector cables ensures a steady supply of current to the main-
board and devices.
To implement the built-in remote on/off function of the ATX power supply a momen-
tary switch, which is normally open, should be connected to the PW-ON connector on
the motherboard as the on/off switch.
Based on the ATX form factor the EP-BX7/BX7+ has been designed to support
many ACPI and soft-off functions. According to the definition of ACPI: suspend
mode will be enabled while pressing the system on/off button for less than 4 seconds.
Nevertheless the system can always be turned off by pressing the system on/off
button for more than 4 seconds or by using the soft-off function if supported by the
operating system.
