Board Features Hardware Management The hardware management features of Intel® Workstation Board WX58BP 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 is removed. The security feature uses a mechanical switch on the chassis that can be connected to the chassis intrusion header on the Board. See Figure 23 for the location of the chassis intrusion header. Power Management Power management is implemented at several levels, including software support through the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) and the following hardware support:  Power connectors  Fan headers  LAN wake capabilities  Instantly Available PC technology (Suspend to RAM)  +5 V standby power indicator LED  Wake from USB  Power Management Event signal (PME#) wakeup support  WAKE# signal wake-up support 19
