Intel Desktop Board DX79TO Technical Product Specification

1.11 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
• Thermal and voltage monitoring
• Chassis intrusion detection
1.11.1

Hardware Monitoring and Fan Control

The hardware monitoring and fan control subsystem is based on the Winbond
W83677HG-I device, which supports the following:
• Processor and system ambient temperature monitoring
• Chassis fan speed monitoring
• Power monitoring of +12 V, +5 V, +3.3 V, V_SM1, V_SM2, 3.3V_Standby and
+VCCP
• SMBus interface
1.11.2

Fan Monitoring

Fan monitoring can be implemented using Intel
Desktop Utility, 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 header. When the chassis cover is removed, the mechanical
switch is in the closed position.
