This document contains information on products in the design phase of development. Do not finalize a design with
this information. Revised information will be published when the product is available. Verify with your local sales

The Intel®Entry Storage System SS4200-E may contain design defects or errors known as errata that may cause the
product to deviate from published specifications. Current characterized errata are available on request.
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.

port SATA controller. The SATA controller provides the following feature set:
Feature Description
Number of ports 4
Serial ATA Bus Speed 3.0 Gb/s
Serial ATA Data Transfer rate 300 MB/s
PCI-e Bus x1
Hot Swap Not implemented
RAID Management Tools Yes, via Intel®Storage Management Software using the user interface
Please refer to http://www.intel.com/design/chipsets/datashts/307013.htm for
more information.
1.4 Enclosure Management
The Intel® Entry Storage System SS4200-E contains thermal sensors, primarily to regulate fan
speeds but also to provide an indication of system and enclosure health. Included sensors are
an internal CPU thermal sensor and a thermal sensor on the baseboard near the north bridge.
Revision 1.1 9

Feature Summary Intel® Entry Storage System SS4200-E
Proper operation of the thermal sensors is critical to system health and availability and
protection of user data. The power supply fan cannot be monitored.
Enclosure management is performed by a SMSC SCH5027D part with an integrated hardware
monitor controller. The SMSC component monitors various aspects of the storage enclosure.
The enclosure management controller supports the following features:

1.4.1 Fan Connector and Control
The 4-pin fan connector supports a standard fan with integrated fan speed control on the fan
itself for better fan life. The first 3 pins of this 4-pin fan connector are backward compatible with
a traditional 3-pin fan connector without PWM fan speed control but a 3-pin fan should not be
used in the Intel® Entry Storage System SS4200-E. A fan spare kit is available from your
supplier which contains the correct fan.

4 Fan PWM (Speed) Control
Fan control is managed through the SMSC SCH5027D Super I/O and enclosure management
component. In the event of a fan failure the system will shutdown to prevent an over
temperature situation. For additional information refer to Section 3, System Cooling Fans.

Intel® Entry Storage System SS4200-E Feature Summary
1.4.2 Voltage Monitoring
The storage system is designed to allow the voltage to be monitored at several points on the
system board. This information can be used by the system management software and reported
to the user. Any action taken as a result of a possible value being outside of the specification is
determined by the software provider. Consult the user manual for the software in use for this
information.
The table below shows voltage sensor locations and the lower and upper bounds on values for
a system operating within normal range.
