Intel Desktop Board DG965RY Product Guide

Hardware Management Features

The hardware management features of Desktop Board DG965RY enable the board to
be compatible with the Wired for Management (WfM) specification. The board has
several hardware management features including the following:
• Fan speed monitoring and control
• Thermal and voltage monitoring
• Chassis intrusion detection

Hardware Monitoring and Fan Speed Control

The features of the hardware monitoring and fan speed control include:
• Monitoring of power supply voltages to detect levels above and below acceptable
values
• Intel Quiet System Technology fan speed control, delivering acoustically-optimized
thermal management
NOTE
Memory must be installed in the Channel A, DIMM 0 socket to enable Intel®
Quiet System Technology.
• Fan speed controllers and sensors integrated into the ICH8
• Thermal sensors in the processor, GMCH, and ICH8
• Thermally monitored closed-loop fan control, for all on-board fans, that can adjust
fan speed or switch the fans off as needed

Chassis Intrusion

The board supports a chassis security feature that detects if the chassis cover has
been removed. The security feature uses a mechanical switch on the chassis that can
be connected to the chassis intrusion header on the desktop board. See Figure 26 on
page 49 for the location of the chassis intrusion header.
