Intel Desktop Board DG43NB Technical Product Specification 1.12 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: • Fan monitoring and control • Thermal and voltage monitoring • Chassis intrusion detection 1.12.1 Hardware Monitoring and Fan Control The features of the hardware monitoring and fan control include: • Intel Quiet System Technology, delivering acoustically-optimized thermal management • Fan speed control controllers and sensors integrated into the ICH10 • Four thermal sensors (processor, 82G43 GMCH, 82801JIB ICH10, and a remote thermal sensor) • Power supply monitoring of five voltages (+5 V, +12 V, +3.3 V, +1.25 V, and +VCCP) to detect levels above or below acceptable values • Thermally monitored closed-loop fan control, for all four fans, that can adjust the fan speed according to thermal conditions 1.12.2 Fan Monitoring Fan monitoring can be implemented using Intel® Desktop Utilities or third-party software. For information about The functions of the fan headers Location of the fan headers Refer to Section 1.13.2.2, page 36 Figure 6, page 31 1.12.3 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. For information about The location of the chassis intrusion header Refer to Figure 10, page 44 30
