Hardware Monitoring and Fan Speed Control

The features of the hardware monitoring and fan speed control include:

Smart fan control provided by the legacy I/O controller, delivering acoustically-optimized
thermal management. Fan speed controllers and sensors are integrated into the legacy
I/O controller.

Thermal sensors in the processor and Intel
regulators and system memory.

Monitoring of system voltages to detect levels above or below acceptable values

Thermally monitored closed-loop fan control for all fans that can adjust fan speed as needed.

Fan Monitoring

Fan monitoring can be observed via the BIOS Setup program or third-party software.

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 Server Board. See Figure 1 for the location of the chassis intrusion header.

Power Management

Power management is implemented at several levels, including software support through the
Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) and the following hardware support:

Power connectors

Fan headers

LAN wake capabilities

Instantly Available PC technology (Suspend to RAM)

+5 V standby power indicator LED

Wake from USB

PCI Express* WAKE# signal support

Software Support

ACPI

ACPI gives the operating system direct control over the power management and Plug and Play
functions of a computer. The use of ACPI with the Server Board requires an operating system that
provides full ACPI support.
