Thermal and Mechanical Design Guidelines  

To implement the board must be configured as shown in Figure 

7-3 and listed below:  

 

ME system (S0–S1) with Controller Link connected and powered 

 

DRAM with Channel A DIMM 0 installed and 2 MB reserved for Intel QST FW 

execution 

 

SPI Flash with sufficient space for the Intel QST Firmware 

 

SST-based thermal sensors to provide board thermal data for Intel QST algorithms 

 

Intel QST firmware 

 

Controller Link

 

Note:  Simple Serial Transport (SST) is a single wire bus that is included in the ICH8 to 

provide additional thermal and voltage sensing capability to the Intel Management 
Engine (ME).
