Desktop Board Features Hardware Management The hardware management features of Intel Desktop Board DP55KG 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® Precision Cooling Technology fan speed control, delivering acoustically- optimized thermal management • A thermal sensor in the processor • Thermally monitored closed-loop fan control, for all onboard fans, that can adjust fan speed Intel® Precision Cooling Technology Intel Precision Cooling Technology automatically adjusts processor fan speed based on the processor temperature and adjusts chassis fan speeds based on the internal system temperature. 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 27 for the location of the chassis intrusion header. 21

Hardware Management
The hardware management features of Intel Desktop Board DP55KG 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
®
Precision Cooling Technology fan speed control, delivering acoustically-
optimized thermal management
A thermal sensor in the processor
Thermally monitored closed-loop fan control, for all onboard fans, that can adjust
fan speed
Intel
®
Precision Cooling Technology
Intel Precision Cooling Technology automatically adjusts processor fan speed based on
the processor temperature and adjusts chassis fan speeds based on the internal
system temperature.
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 27 for
the location of the chassis intrusion header.
