PC HEALTH MONITOR-II SOFTWARE FOR J-7BXA/L
General Description
The PC HEALTH MONITOR-II Software, an application software based on Microsoft Windows 95, is used to control the PC HEALTH MONITOR CHIP. It can monitor the temperatures, power supply voltages and fan speeds via PC HEALTH MONITOR CHIP and show the information on screen periodically. User can use it to specify temperature, voltage and fan speed configurations used by monitor chip. By the way, the alarm warning events and polling interval could also be set by this software. If there is an abnormal event happens, it will pop up a window on screen to inform the user the abnormal situation.
Using the Software
General Function
1. Power Supply Voltage :
VCORE Low Limit/High Limit
VTT Low Limit/High Limit
3.3V Low Limit/High Limit
+5V Low Limit/High Limit
-5V Low Limit/High Limit
+12V Low Limit/High Limit
-12V Low Limit/High Limit
These values are used to specify the threshold values of detecting the abnormal condition of VTT, 3.3V, +5V, -5V, +12V, -12V.
2. FAN Speed
CPUFAN/ FAN1/ FAN2
If the fan RPM is lower than this value and “CPUFAN/FAN1/FAN2” is enabled in Monitoring Config. the PC Speaker will alarm and the monitor software will pop up a window to inform user.
3. Temperature
System/ CPU1 Low Limit/ High Limit
There values is used to specify the Temp-Over register/ Tem-under register of PC HEALTH MONITOR CHIP, If the temperature of the external thermistor is higher than this value and “System/CPU” is enabled in Monitoring Config. the monitor software will pop up a window to inform user.
Monitoring Config.
Enabled or Disabled: User can decide which item should be monitored or not by choosing the item in the configuration page.
Faults Count (1 or 3): User can decide the system to pop up the warning message when there is 1 fault detected or there are 3 consecutive faults detected.
Beep: In addition to pop up warning message user can choose to activate Beep tone if there is error detected. Beep tone will until the error is treated.

New Function for J-7BXA ,J-7BXA/L Keyboard Password/Hot-key Power On
The J-7BXA ,J-7BXA/L has two ways to Power On System, one is use power button the other is use keyboard. This document description how to use keyboard to control Power On function.
Function 1:
Use Power Button Power On (Default setting)
Please setting both JP3 1-2 closed and J2 1-2 closed (see Figure A). In this condition the system will ignore the BIOS SETUP “Power On Function” under “INTEGRATED PERIPERALS”, system only can power on by Power Button.
Function 2:
Use Keyboard Password/ Hot-key Power On
You have to setting both JP3 2-3 closed and J2 2-3 closed (see Figure A). In this setting you can change BIOS SETUP to “Password” or “Hot-key” in “Power On Function” item under “INTEGRATED PERIPHERAL SETUP”.
A: When choose “Password”, then user can setting your password in “KB Power On Password” item. After save CMOS SETUP, the next time want to power on, you have to key in your password to power on, otherwise the system will not power on.
B: When choose “Hot-key”, then user can choose by key in Hot-key or use Power button to power on system.
Question and Answer:
Q1: When you forget password or the system can not power on by power button?
Answer: There has two solution of this problem:
sol 1: 1st : Turn off the Power Supply by ON/OFF switch.
2nd: Clear CMOS by JP1 3-4 closed about 10 sec and remove the Jumper to 2-3 closed for Normal use.
3rd: Switch ON the Power Supply by ON/OFF switch.
4th: Follow Function 1 or Function 2 to setting to setting your Power On Function.
sol 2: Change the Jumper setting both JP3 1-2 closed and J2 1-2 closed (Default setting)
Let you can use power button to Power On your system, and you can setting BIOS again. In this condition you can choose use Function 1 (use Power Button Power On) or use Function 2 (Use Keyboard Password/ Hot-key Power On) to setting your system.
Q2: When use Function 2 use keyboard Password/Hot-key Power On, there has keyboard error problem?
Answer: This is the Power Supply 5V stand by current too small can not drive the keyboard.
sol: If your Power Supply 5V Stand By current is not enough to driver keyboard. You can not use keyboard password/Hot-key power on Function, Please change the Jumper setting JP3 1-2 closed and J2 1-2 closed only can use Function 1: Power Button Power On.
