Desktop Board Features

Hardware Management

The hardware management features of Intel Desktop Board DX58SO2 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 has

been removed. The security feature uses a mechanical switch on the chassis that can

be connected to the chassis intrusion header on the Desktop Board. See Figure 23 for

the location of the c

hassis 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

• Wake from Consumer IR
