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
®
C206 PCH, as well as near the processor voltage
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.
