Intel Desktop Board D5400XS Product Guide
Hardware Management
The hardware management features of Desktop Board D5400XS 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
Precision Cooling Technology fan speed control, delivering acoustically-
optimized thermal management
•
Thermal sensors in the processors, MCH, and I/O Controller Hub, plus an onboard
remote sensor
•
Thermally monitored closed-loop fan control, for all onboard fans, that can adjust
fan speed or switch the fans off as needed

Intel
Precision Cooling Technology
Intel Precision Cooling Technology automatically adjusts processor fan speed based on
the processor temperature and adjusts chassis fan speeds based on the internal
system temperature.
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 23 for
the location of the chassis intrusion header.
