Plus, does lm_sesnros support your board?
Run (as root) $ sensors-detect [8], let it try to find you i2c chipset
and configure it - it should give you CPU/Chipset temperature/fan
speed/voltage/etc.
More-ever, configure smartd [8] to monitor the hard disk health and use
smartctl [8] to check the current status. (Usually smartctl -a <device>)

[8] means man 8 XXX.
