Hardware Management and Monitoring
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:
• Remote temperature sensing near the Vreg
• Power supply monitoring (+5 V, +3.3 V, 3.3 VSB, +1.5 V, and VCCP) to detect levels above
or below acceptable values
• Fan monitoring though four fan tachometer inputs. Monitoring can be implemented using
LANDesk
*
Client Manager or other third-party software.
• Chassis intrusion detection
The server board S875WP1-E has an integrated Hardware Management ASIC that is responsible
for hardware monitoring. Together, the Hardware Management ASIC and the LANDesk Client
Manager (LDCM) 6.3 software provide basic server hardware monitoring that alerts a system
administrator if a hardware problem occurs on an Intel Server Board S875WP1-E based system.
The LDCM software is for use with Windows 2000 Server and Windows 2000 Advanced Server
operating systems. Other operating systems, such as Red Hat
*
Linux
*
are not be monitored with
LDCM.
Intel LANDesk Client Manager software and user guides that provide more information on using
Intel LDCM software are available on the Intel Server Board S875WP1-E Resource CD and are
also available for download at:

Chassis Intrusion and Detection
The server board S875WP1-E supports a chassis security feature that detects the removal of the
chassis cover. For the chassis intrusion circuit to function, the chassis’ power supply must be
connected to AC power. The security feature uses a mechanical switch on the chassis that attaches
to the chassis intrusion connector. Chassis intrusion options can be configured through the BIOS
Setup screens.

NOTE
Chassis intrusion detection may be implemented using LANDesk Client
Manager or third-party software.
