subsystem include:

An integrated ambient temperature sensor
Fan speed sensors, which monitor the fan 1 and fan 2 connector.
Power supply voltage monitoring to detect levels above or below

acceptable values

When suggested ratings for temperature, fan speed, or voltage are
exceeded, an interrupt is activated. The hardware monitor component
connects to the SMBus.

1-11 WAKE ON LAN TECHNOLOGY

Wake on LAN technology enables remote wakeup of the computer
through a network. Wake on LAN technology requires a PCI add-in
network interface card (NIC) with remote wakeup capabilities. The remote
wakeup connector on the NIC must be connected to the onboard Wake on
LAN connector. The NIC monitors network traffic at the Ethernet interface;
upon detecting a Magic Packet, the NIC asserts a wakeup signal that
powers up the computer. This feature uses the Wake on LAN connector.

CAUTION

For Wake on LAN, the 5-V standby line for the power supply must be
capable of delivering +5V ±5 % at 720 mA. Failure to provide adequate
standby current when implementing Wake on LAN can damage the power
supply.
