Advanced Power Management

The following new advanced power management features are supported by this
motherboard:
Intel Intelligent Power Node Manager (NM) (Available
®

The Intel Intelligent Power Node Manager 3.0 (IPNM) provides your system with
®
real-time thermal control and power management for maximum energy efficiency.
Although IPNM Specification Version 2.0/3.0 is supported by the BMC (Baseboard
Management Controller), your system must also have IPNM-compatible Manage-
ment Engine (ME) firmware installed to use this feature.
Note: IPNM 2.0/3.0 support depends on the power supply used in the

The Management Engine, which is an ARC controller embedded in the PCH, pro-

SPS are different from those provided by the ME on client platforms.
