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.
The fan speed control feature can be disabled in the BIOS, resulting in the chassis fans always
operating at full speed. This feature should be disabled if a self-controlled fan is attached to a
chassis fan connector.
Overall system noise reduction will vary based on system configuration and environment.
Suspend to RAM (Instantly Available PC Technology)
CAUTION
For Instantly Available PC technology, the 5 V standby line for the power supply must be capable
of delivering adequate +5 V standby current. Failure to provide adequate standby current when
using this feature can damage the power supply and/or effect ACPI S3 sleep state functionality.
Instantly Available PC technology enables the board to enter the ACPI S3 (Suspend-to-RAM) sleep
state. While in the S3 sleep state, the computer will appear to be off. When signaled by a wake-up
device or event, the system quickly returns to its last known awake state.
The desktop board’s standby power indicator, shown in Figure 2, is lit when there is standby power
to the system. This includes the memory modules and PCI bus connectors, even when the
computer appears to be off.
If the system has a dual-colored power LED on the front panel, the sleep state is indicated by the
LED turning amber.
