3.16 Power Supply Fan Connector

Note: This feature is not supported by standard ATX power supplies!

The power supply fan connector is shared with FAN4 connector (BIOS Setup option), they must not be used simultaneously!

3.23 Chassis Intrusion

Note:

The intrusion supervision feature needs to be enabled in BIOS Setup first (Menu „Security“  „Cabinet
Monitoring“).
This BIOS option is only available if pin 3 („Intrusion Switch Present“) is connected to GND!

Note:
Chassis intrusion is active even if the system is switched off (S5 state) or
disconnected from mains power.
The intrusion event is monitored by the chipset (PCH) and stored in the BIOS
Eventlog during the next Boot.
A timestamp (Boot date/time) will be added then.
Note: This timestamp does not represent date/time of the intrusion event!
If a Supervisor Password is enabled in BIOS Setup, the system will stop
during BIOS POST if an intrusion event has been detected. In order to
continue, the Supervisor Password must be entered to confirm the intrusion
event.

8 Known Issues & Important Notes

8.1 Driver support for MS Windows XP / MS Win8

For the Q87/H81 chipset there are following restrictions (Intel):

- no driver support for Windows XP

- limited driver support for Windows 8 / 32Bit

8.2 Memory Issue

The 2GB module Samsung M378B5773CH0-CK0 may show sporadic issues with D323x
(in particular when 4 modules are installed). These modules should not be used!
Recommended alternative:
Samsung M378B5773DH0-CK0 (= new stepping)

8.3 Possible Power Supply Issue

Please note that the requirements regarding minimum ATX PSU load have been update by Intel due to enhanced sleep states of the Haswell processors.
Please make sure to use only power supplies qualified by Intel or models that comply with the updated specification (main change: min. load @ 12V reduced
to 0.05A – current PSUs may become instable with this low load).
D323x-S provides some additional load (“dynamic load”) during power-on in order to facilitate the use of previous PSU models.

a

Known Issues & Important Notes

8.4

SATA Interface (Intel chipset limitation)

D323x may show compatibility issues with SATA-II harddisk drives. Intel strongly recommends to use SATA-III HDDs only.
D323x may show compatibility issues with SATA optical drives (older models). Please make sure to use latest revision of optical drives
and related firmware only.

8.5

Graphics driver issue with future Core-i3 / Pentium-G processor

Please note that the early released Intel graphics driver does not support above mentioned processor graphics cores.
Graphics driver 9.18.10.3220 or higher required for above mentioned processors.

8.6

mSATA support

D3231-S and D3236-S provide an mSATA socket. Please note that one SATA channel (Port 2) and mSATA are shared and cannot be used
simultaneously. By default, Port2 is enabled and mSATA disabled. Please select the required option in BIOS Setup accordingly.

a

Known Issues & Important Notes

8.7

USB3.0 Performance

A single USB3.0 port supports data transfer rates up to 5Gb/s.
Please note that there may be a bottleneck between PCH and processor,
as the DMI link is shared by all highspeed busses in the system.

Block diagram: High speed busses Q87/H81 system

According to Intel, typically two USB3.0 ports can be used simultaneously (Max. 5Gb/s for each port)

9 Miscellaneous

9.1 Trusted Platform Module (TPM)

TPM V1.2 controller: Infineon SLB 9635 TT1.2

TPM Infineon
TPM Jumper

Note:

- TPM Jumper must be installed in order to enable the TPM hardware (installed = default)

- TPM must be enabled in BIOS Setup before its features can be used

- For applications / customers that do not what to use TPM, the full functionality can be disabled and
hidden in BIOS Setup by the OEMIDENT tool. See OEMIDENT readme for details.
Once TPM has been disabled by OEMIDENT, it cannot be re-enabled again (only possible by factory RMA)!

9.2 System Watchdog (WD)

D323x-S provides full BIOS POST-, Operating System Boot-, and Operating System-Runtime watchdog supervision.

Power On Init BIOS POST OS Boot OS running
“BIOS POST Watchdog

1)

” “BIOS Boot Watchdog 1)” “OS Watchdog”

1) 2)

POST-WD-timeout = 120sec. BOOT-WD-timeout OS-WD-timeout (max. 255 minutes)
(fix defined by BMC firmware) (according to BIOS Setup) (according to specific WD software agent)

OS started. If the watchdog has been enabled by BIOS (timeout
set to xy minutes in BIOS Setup) it must be switched off or
retriggered (continuously) by a specific OS application (=WD software
agent), otherwise the system will be reset after xy minutes (= BOOT­ WD-timeout) respectively after nn minutes (repetitive OS-WD-timeout).

If the watchdog is enabled in BIOS Setup (timeout set to xy minutes) and the
system hangs during OS boot, the system will be reset after xy minutes.

BIOS checks at the end of POST if the watchdog must be switched off (timeout set to 0
in BIOS Setup) or retriggered according to the timeout setting in BIOS Setup (1 - 255 minutes)

BMC initializes watchdog (fixed timeout = 2 minutes; no user setting possible). If the operator runs BIOS Setup
the watchdog is set on hold. Additional PCI/PCEe extensions cards that provide an Option ROM may cause
a system reset due to BIOS POST watchdog timeout, if the user activates any menu within the Option ROM
for more than 2 minutes!

1) Note: All three watchdogs are physical identical, but they are handled from different application levels

2) As the SystemGuard tool offers access to the watchdog it can be used as “WD software agent” to retrigger the watchdog during OS runtime

a

Miscellaneous

System Watchdog (WD)

How to handle the different watchdog levels

 BIOS POST Watchdog

o No user interaction possible – POST Watchdog is always enabled!

 BIOS Boot Watchdog

o Set Watchdog in BIOS Setup

0 = WD disabled
1 – 255 = WD enabled (timeout = 1 – 255 minutes)

a

Miscellaneous

System Watchdog (WD)

 OS Watchdog

o Use “WD software agent” to stop or retrigger the watchdog during OS runtime

Note: This “agent” needs to be provided by the customer, dependent on his needs.

For easy access to the watchdog functions, the Windows API (BMCAPI) or the related Linux driver (lm-sensors) can be used:

ftp://ftp.ts.fujitsu.com/pub/Mainboard-OEM-Sales/Products/Mainboards/Industrial&ExtendedLifetime/D323x-S/IndustrialTools_D323x-S/

o For easy testing, the SystemGuard tool provides access to the OS Watchdog. After enabling the Watchdog, SystemGuard retriggers the WD

continuously. In case the system freezes, SystemGuard does no longer provide the retrigger signal and the watchdog resets the system after the timeout.
Note: When SystemGuard is closed, the WD is stopped in order to avoid a unwanted system reset!

Menu “Special”:

--> Enable WD

--> Set timeout to 1 – 8 minutes
