Hardware Management Features The hardware management features of Desktop Board DP965LT 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
• Fan speed controllers and sensors integrated into the ICH8
• Thermal sensors in the processor, MCH, and ICH8, plus an onboard remote sensor
• 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 26 on
page 50 for the location of the chassis intrusion header.
