1.9

Hardware Management Subsystem

The hardware management features enable the board to be compatible with the Wired
for Management (WfM) specification. The board has several hardware management
features, including the following:
• Fan monitoring and control (through the legacy I/O controller)
• Thermal and voltage monitoring
• Chassis intrusion detection
1.9.1

Hardware Monitoring and Fan Control

The legacy I/O controller provides the following hardware monitoring and fan control
functions:
• Internal ambient temperature sensor
• Two remote thermal diode sensors for direct monitoring of processor temperature
and ambient temperature sensing
• Power supply monitoring of five voltages (+5 V, +12 V, +3.3 VSB, +1.5 V, and
+VCCP) to detect levels above or below acceptable values
• Thermally monitored closed-loop fan control, for all three fans, that can adjust the
fan speed or switch the fans on or off as needed
• SMBus interface
1.9.2

Fan Monitoring

Fan monitoring can be implemented using Intel Desktop Utilities or third-party
software.

Chassis Intrusion and Detection

The board supports a chassis security feature that detects if the chassis cover is
removed. The security feature uses a mechanical switch on the chassis that attaches
to the chassis intrusion connector. When the chassis cover is removed, the mechanical
switch is in the closed position.
