Intel system boards contain a number of high-density VLSI and power delivery components that need adequate
airflow to cool. Intel’s own chassis are designed and tested to meet the intended thermal requirements of these
components when the fully integrated system is used. It is the responsibility of the system integrator that chooses not
to use Intel developed system building blocks to consult vendor datasheets and operating parameters to determine
the amount of air flow required for their specific application and environmental conditions. Intel Corporation cannot be
held responsible if components fail or the system board does not operate correctly when used outside any of their
published operating or non-operating limits.

1.5 Enclosure Management
The enclosure management controller monitors various aspects of the storage enclosure. The
enclosure management controller is comprised of the following elements and supports
associated features:
• CPLD (Lattice ispMACH 4064V)
• Hardware Monitoring I/C (Winbond W83792AD)
o Thermal sensing
o Voltage level sensing
o CPU temperature sensing
1.5.1 Fan Control
Fan control is managed through the Winbond W83792AD hardware monitoring component. In
the event of a fan failure the system will shutdown to prevent an over temperature situation.
