Cooling System
The SC748TQ-R1K43BP chassis has an innovative cooling design that includes
three 8-cm and three 9.2-cm hot-plug system cooling fans located in the middle
section of the chassis. An air shroud channels the air
fl
ow from the system fans to
ef
fi
ciently cool the processor area of the system. The power supply module also
includes a cooling fan.
1-4 Advanced Power Management
Intel® Intelligent Power Node Manager (NM)
The Intel
®
Intelligent Power Node Manager (IPNM) provides your system with
real-time thermal control and power management for maximum energy ef
fi
ciency.
Although IPNM Speci
fi
cation Version 1.5 is supported by the BMC (Baseboard
Management Controller), your system must also have IPNM-compatible
Manageability Engine (ME)
fi
rmware installed to use this feature.
Manageability Engine (ME)
The Manageability Engine, which is an ARC controller embedded in the IOH (I/O
Hub), provides Server Platform Services (SPS) to your system. The services
provided by SPS are different from those proveded by the ME on client platforms.
