Setting a user password restricts who can boot the computer. The password prompt is
displayed before the computer is booted. If only the supervisor password is set, the computer
boots without asking for a password. If both passwords are set, you can enter either password
to boot the computer.

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 10 on page 36 for the location of the chassis
intrusion header.

Power Management Features

Power management is implemented at several levels, including:

Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI)

Hardware support:

Power connectors

Fan connectors

Suspend to RAM (Instantly Available PC technology)

Resume on Ring

Wake from USB

Wake from PS/2 keyboard/mouse

PME# wakeup support

ACPI

ACPI gives the operating system direct control over the power management and Plug & Play
functions of a computer. The use of ACPI with the desktop board requires an operating system that
provides full ACPI support.

Power Connectors

The desktop board has two power connectors. See Figure 10 on page 36 for the location of the
power connectors.

Fan Connectors

The desktop board has two chassis fan connectors (Intel Precision Cooling Technology) and one
processor fan connector. See Figure 10 on page 36 for the location of the fan connectors.

Fan Speed Control (Intel

®

Precision Cooling Technology)

Intel Precision Cooling Technology automatically adjusts the chassis fan speeds depending on the
system’s temperature. This feature reduces system fan noise by lowering the speed of the chassis
fans connected to the front and rear chassis fan connectors. The processor fan connector is not
controlled.
