Intel Desktop Board DX58SO2 Technical Product Specification
26
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:
• 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 (+12 V, +5 V, +3.3 V, V_SM 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 or off as needed
1.12.2 Fan Monitoring
Fan monitoring can be implemented using Intel
®
Desktop Control Center or third-party
software.

The functions of the fan headers Section 1.13.2.2, page 33
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.
