Most of the time, this means that the feature is not used on the motherboard (the inputs are not wired).

Time for you to dig through the available documentation for your system, or ask the manufacturer. Maybe your system simply doesn't have hardware monitoring features. Do you see any in the BIOS? -- Jean Delvare
