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 

The features of the hardware monitoring and fan control include: 
  Fan speed control controllers and sensors provided by the Hardware Monitoring 

and Fan Control ASIC  

  Thermal sensors in the processor, 82X58 IOH, and 82801IJR ICH10R 
  Power supply monitoring of five voltages (+5 V, +12 V, +3.3 VSB, +1.1 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/off as needed 

You can use software to implement fan monitoring. For more information on the 
functions of the fan headers, refer to Section 1.12.2.2.    

 

 

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 more information about the location of the chassis intrusion header, refer to Figure
