Intel Desktop Board D945GCNL Technical Product Specification 1.10 Hardware Management Subsystem The hardware management features enable the board to be compatible with the Wired for Management (WfM) specification. The board has several hardware management features, including the following: • Chassis intrusion detection • Fan monitoring and control (through the SMSC 5127 I/O Controller) • Thermal and voltage monitoring 1.10.1 Hardware Monitoring and Fan Control ASIC The features of the hardware monitoring and fan control ASIC include: • Internal ambient temperature sensor • Two remote thermal diode sensors for direct monitoring of processor temperature and ambient temperature sensing • Power supply monitoring of five voltages (+5 V, +12 V, +3.3 VSB, +1.5 V, and +VCCP) to detect levels above or below acceptable values • Thermally monitored closed-loop fan control, for all three fans, that can adjust the fan speed or switch the fans on or off as needed • SMBus interface For information about The location of the fan headers and sensors for thermal monitoring Refer to Figure 5, page 29 1.10.2 Chassis Intrusion and Detection The board supports a chassis security feature that detects if the chassis cover is removed. The security feature uses a mechanical switch on the chassis that attaches to the chassis intrusion header. When the chassis cover is removed, the mechanical switch is in the closed position. 1.10.3 Fan Monitoring Fan monitoring can be implemented using third-party software. The level of monitoring and control is dependent on the I/O controller used with the board. For information about The functions of the fan headers Refer to Section 1.11.2.2, page 33 28
