Intel Desktop Board DX38BT Product Guide Hardware Management The hardware management features of Desktop Board DX38BT 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 • Thermal sensors in the processor, MCH, and ICH9R, plus an onboard remote sensor NOTE The minimum thermal reporting threshold for the MCH is 66 °C. The MCH thermal sensor will report 66 °C until its temperature rises above this point. • Thermally monitored closed-loop fan control, for all onboard fans, that can adjust fan speed or switch the fans off as needed Intel® Precision Cooling Technology Intel Precision Cooling Technology automatically adjust 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. 20
