Fan Speed, Thermal, And Voltage Monitoring And Control; Chassis Intrusion - Intel DQ43AP Product Manual

Fan Speed, Thermal, and Voltage Monitoring and
Control
The board's fan speed, thermal, and voltage monitoring and control features include
the following:
• 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 socket to enable Intel Quiet
System Technology.
• Thermally monitored closed-loop fan control, for all onboard fans, that can adjust
fan speed according to thermal conditions.
• Fan speed controllers and sensors integrated into ICH10D
• Thermal sensors in the processor, GMCH, and ICH10D, plus an onboard remote
sensor
NOTE
The minimum thermal reporting threshold for the GMCH is 66 °C. The GMCH thermal
sensor will display 66 °C until the temperature rises above this point.

Chassis Intrusion

The board supports a chassis security feature that detects if a chassis cover has been
removed. A mechanical switch on the chassis can be connected to the chassis
intrusion header on the Desktop Board. See Figure 18 for the location of the chassis
intrusion header.
