Desktop Board Features
Hardware Management Features
The hardware management features of Desktop Board DG965RY 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
•Fan speed controllers and sensors integrated into the ICH8
•Thermal sensors in the processor, GMCH, and ICH8
•Thermally monitored
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 26 on page 49 for the location of the chassis intrusion header.
