Board and System Implementation of Intel
To implement the board must be configured as shown in Figure 7-3 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
execution
• SPI Flash with sufficient space for the Intel
• SST-based thermal sensors to provide board thermal data for Intel
algorithms
• Intel

Note: Simple Serial Transport (SST) is a single wire bus that is included in the ICH8 to
provide additional thermal and voltage sensing capability to the Intel
Engine (ME).
