If “Auto shutdown” has been checked, the system will shutdown automatically 
when voltage or temperature is out of the normal range. For better data 
protection, please check “Auto Shutdown”. 
 
For better protection and to avoid single short period of high temperature 
triggering Auto shutdown, i Series use multiple condition judgments for Auto 
shutdown, below is the detail of when the Auto shutdown will be triggered. 
 
1.  The core processor temperature limit is 85℃. i Series will check each 
sensor every 30 seconds. When sensor is over the high temperature 
value for continuous 3 minutes, the Auto shutdown will be triggered 
immediately. 
2.  If the high temperature situation doesn’t last for 3 minutes, i Series will 
not do auto shutdown.

Hard drive S.M.A.R.T. function support 
 
S.M.A.R.T.
 (Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology) is a diagnostic 
tool for hard drives to give advanced warning of drive failures. S.M.A.R.T. 
provides users chances to take actions before possible drive failure.  
 
S.M.A.R.T. measures many attributes of the hard drive all the time and decide 
the hard drives which are close to out of tolerance. The advanced notice of 
possible hard drive failure can allow users to back up hard drive or replace the 
hard drive. This is much better than hard drive crash when it is writing data or 
rebuilding a failed hard drive. 
 
Enter  “S.M.A.R.T.” function will display S.M.A.R.T. information of hard drives. 
The number is the current value; the number in parenthesis is the threshold value. 
The threshold values of hard drive vendors are different, please refer to vendors’ 
specification for details.
