Introduction 7
M-342
Serial ATA
The M-342 provides two SATA 6 GB/s ports and four SATA
3 GB/s ports. Intel® Rapid Storage Technology supports AHCI
and RAID 0/1/5/10 functionality.
Hardware monitoring
A built-in, proactive hardware monitoring system in the Super I/O
monitors the CPU temperature, system fan speed, and voltage
levels to prevent overheating and/or component damage, effect
timely failure detection, and ensure stable supply of current for
critical components.
Watchdog Timer
The watchdog timer (WDT) monitors system operations based on
user-defined configurations. The WDT can be programmed for dif-
ferent time-out periods, such as from 1 to 255 seconds or from 1 to
255 minutes. The WDT generates a reset signal, then a reset
request, after failure to strobe it within the programmed time
period. A register bit may be enabled to indicate if the watchdog
timer caused the reset event. The WDT register is cleared during
the power-on sequence to enable the operating system to take
appropriate action when the watchdog generates a reboot.
Intel® Active Management Technology
Intel® Active Management Technology (Intel® AMT) is hard-
ware-based technology for remotely managing and securing PCs
out-of-band. Intel® AMT includes hardware-based remote man-
agement, security, power-management, and remote-configuration
features. Intel® AMT allows remote access to a system when tra-
ditional techniques and methods are not available.
