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
1.11.1 Hardware Monitoring and Fan Control
The hardware monitoring and fan control subsystem is based on the Winbond
W83677HG-I device, which supports the following:
• Processor and system ambient temperature monitoring
• Chassis fan speed monitoring
• Power monitoring of +12 V, +5 V, +3.3 V, V_SM1, V_SM2, 3.3V_Standby and
+VCCP
• SMBus interface
1.11.2 Fan Monitoring
Fan monitoring can be implemented using Intel
®
Extreme Tuning Utility, Intel

The functions of the fan headers Section 1.12.2.2, page 34
1.11.3 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.
