6.2 Board and System Implementation of
Intel
To implement the board must be configured as shown in Figure 21 and listed below:
 ME system (S0–S1) with Controller Link connected and powered
 DRAM with Channel A DIMM 0 installed and 2 MB reserved for Intel QST FW
execution
 SPI Flash with sufficient space for the Intel QST Firmware
 SST-based thermal sensors to provide board thermal data for Intel QST algorithms
 Intel QST firmware
