• Power monitoring of +12 V, +5 V, +3.3 V, V
SM
, +V
CCP
, and PCH V
CC
• SMBus interface
1.10.2 Fan Monitoring
Fan monitoring can be implemented using Intel

The functions of the fan headers Section 1.11.2.2, page 36
1.10.3 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.
