Hardware Management Features
The hardware management features of Desktop Board DP35DP 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 Quiet System Technology fan speed control, delivering acoustically-optimized
thermal management
NOTE
Memory must be installed in the Channel A, DIMM 0 socket to enable Intel
Quiet System Technology.
Fan speed controllers and sensors integrated into the ICH9R
Thermal sensors in the processor, MCH, and ICH9R, plus an onboard remote sensor
NOTE
The minimum thermal reporting threshold for the MCH is 66 °C. The MCH
thermal sensor will display 66 °C until its temperature rises above this point.
Thermally monitored closed-loop fan control, for all onboard fans, that can adjust
fan speed or switch the fans off as needed
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 c
h
assis intrusion header.
