Note: “DS” refers to double-sided memory modules (containing two rows of SDRAM) and “SS” refers to
single-sided memory modules (containing one row of SDRAM).
The Intel Core i7, Intel Core i5, Intel Core i3, and Intel Pentium processors support the
following types of memory organization:
•Dual channel (Interleaved) mode. This mode offers the highest throughput for
real world applications. Dual channel mode is enabled when the installed memory
capacities of both DIMM channels are equal. Technology and device width can vary
from one channel to the other but the installed memory capacity for each channel
must be equal. If different speed DIMMs are used between channels, the slowest
memory timing will be used.
•Single channel (Asymmetric) mode. This mode is equivalent to single channel
bandwidth operation for real world applications. This mode is used when only a
single DIMM is installed or the memory capacities are unequal. Technology and
device width can vary from one channel to the other. If different speed DIMMs are
used between channels, the slowest memory timing will be used.

Active Management Technology
(Intel® AMT)
Intel Active Management Technology (Intel AMT) offers IT organizations tamperresistant and persistent management capabilities. Specifically, Intel
hardware-based solution that uses out of band communication to manage access to
client systems in addition to offering encrypted and persistent asset management and
remote diagnostics and/or recovery capabilities for networked platforms. With Intel
AMT, IT organizations can easily get accurate platform information, and can perform
remote updating, diagnostics, debugging and repair of a system, regardless of the
state of the operating system or the power state of the system.
The Intel Active Management Technology subsystem consists of:

1.15.3.1.1 Intel AMT Features
The key features of Intel AMT include:
•Secure Out of Band (OOB) system management that allows remote management
of PCs regardless of system power or operating system state.
⎯ SSL 3.1/TLS encryption
⎯ HTTP authentication
⎯ TCP/IP
⎯ HTTP web GUI
⎯ XML/SOAP API
⎯ Web Services for Management (WS-MAN) protocol support
•Remote troubleshooting and recovery that can significantly reduce desk-side visits
and potentially increasing efficiency of IT technical staff.
⎯ System event log
⎯ IDE Redirection (IDE-R) or PXE boot: remote CD or network drive boot
⎯ Serial over LAN
⎯ OOB diagnostics
⎯ Remote control
⎯ Operating system repair
• Proactive alerting that decreases downtime and minimizes time to repair.
⎯ Programmable policies
⎯ Operating system lock-up alert
⎯ Boot failure alert
⎯ Hardware failure alerts
• Third party non-volatile storage that prevents users from removing critical
inventory, remote control, or virus protection agents.
⎯ Nonvolatile storage for agents
⎯ Tamper-resistant
• Remote hardware and software asset tracking that eliminates time-consuming
manual inventory tracking, which also reduces asset accounting costs.
⎯ E-Asset Tag
⎯ HW/SW inventory
• System Defense 2. In addition to the in-bound and out-bound packet filtering of
the previous generation, System Defense 2 is an Intel AMT feature that uses
advanced heuristics to help protect against the propagation of worms through the
use of preset packet filters. The number of new connections made to a specific
port or IP address are counted over a specific time window. If a preset threshold is
exceeded, it will alert the Management Console and suspend the client’s network
activity until the system can be remediated.
•Remote Configuration (RCFG) minimizes the cost to deploy Intel AMT by
eliminating the need for IT personnel to touch each client system prior to
configuration. Remote Configuration consists of a single OEM BIOS/Firmware
image that provides the Intel AMT client with information to authenticate
connections and allows it to remotely perform a secure setup procedure. IT
departments must acquire an appropriate Intel AMT-trusted certificate as well as
use a remote management application that supports Remote Configuration.
Remote Configuration also requires the use of automatic IP addressing (DHCP).

Product Description
•KVM (Keyboard-Video-Mouse) Remote Control allows an IT administrator to
remotely control a user’s keyboard without having to rely on third-party software
applications. The user retains the ability to allow or discontinue the remote access
through on-screen pop-up windows. The maximum resolution supported by KVM
Remote Control is 1920 x 1200.
NOTE
KVM Remote Control requires the use of an Intel® processor with integrated
graphics. If using simultaneous integrated graphics and add-in PCI Express
Graphics, Integrated Graphics Device (IGD) must be set as the Primary
Video Device in the BIOS Setup in order for POST information to be seen
during a KVM Remote Control session. Likewise, IGD must be set as Primary
Video Device in the operating system for mouse functionality during a KVM
Remote Control session.
•PC Alarm Clock can wake the PC at scheduled times to run resource-intensive tasks
during off hours, improving security and performance of the platform.
Intel Virtualization Technology (Intel VT) is a processor technology that enables a
platform to run multiple operating systems and applications as independent machines,
allowing one computer system to function as multiple "virtual" systems. It also
provides the “assisted hardware virtualization” required by some operating systems for
backward compatibility, such as Windows XP Mode for Windows 7.
NOTE
Requires an Intel processor that supports Intel VT.

1.16 Power Management
Power management is implemented at several levels, including:
• Software support through Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI)
• Hardware support:
⎯ Power connector
⎯ Fan headers
⎯ LAN wake capabilities
⎯ Instantly Available PC technology
⎯ Wake from USB
⎯ Power Management Event signal (PME#) wake-up support
⎯ PCI Express WAKE# signal support
⎯ Wake from serial port
ACPI gives the operating system direct control over the power management and Plug
and Play functions of a computer. The use of ACPI with this board requires an
operating system that provides full ACPI support. ACPI features include:
• Plug and Play (including bus and device enumeration)
• Power management control of individual devices, add-in boards (some add-in
boards may require an ACPI-aware driver), video displays, and hard disk drives
•Methods for achieving less than 15-watt system operation in the power-on/standby
sleeping state
• A Soft-off feature that enables the operating system to power-off the computer
• Support for multiple wake-up events (see Table 7 on page 36)
• Support for a front panel power and sleep mode switch

Product Description
1.16.1.1 System States and Power States
Under ACPI, the operating system directs all system and device power state
transitions. The operating system puts devices in and out of low-power states based
on user preferences and knowledge of how devices are being used by applications.
Devices that are not being used can be turned off. The operating system uses
information from applications and user settings to put the system as a whole into a
low-power state.
Table 6 lists the power states supported by the board along with the associated
system power targets. See the AC
various system and power states.

Product Description
1.16.2 Hardware Support
CAUTION
Ensure that the power supply provides adequate +5 V standby current if LAN wake
capabilities and Instantly Available PC technology features are used. Failure to do so
can damage the power supply. The total amount of standby current required depends
on the wake devices supported and manufacturing options.
The board provides several power management hardware features, including:
• Power connector
• Fan headers
• LAN wake capabilities
• Instantly Available PC technology
• Wake from USB
• PME# signal wake-up support
• WAKE# signal wake-up support
• Wake from serial port
• +5 V Standby Power Indicator LED
LAN wake capabilities and Instantly Available PC technology require power from the
+5 V standby line.
NOTE
The use of Wake from USB from an ACPI state requires an operating system that
provides full ACPI support.
1.16.2.1 Power Connector
ATX12V-compliant power supplies can turn off the system power through system
control. When an ACPI-enabled system receives the correct command, the power
supply removes all non-standby voltages.
When resuming from an AC power failure, the computer returns to the power state it
was in before power was interrupted (on or off). The computer’s response can be set
using the Last Power State feature in the BIOS Setup program’s Boot menu.
For information about Refer to
The location of the main power connector Figure 10, page 45
The signal names of the main power connector Table 22, page 50
The function/operation of the fan headers is as follows:
• The fans are on when the board is in the S0 state
• The fans are off when the board is in the S3, S4, or S5 state
• Each fan header is wired to a fan tachometer input of the hardware monitoring and
fan control ASIC
•All fan headers support closed-loop fan control that can adjust the fan speed or
switch the fan on or off as needed
• All fan headers have a +12 V DC connection
• 4-pin fan headers are controlled by Pulse Width Modulation
• The front fan and rear fan headers also support linear fan control on 3-wire fans

1.16.2.3 LAN Wake Capabilities
CAUTION
For LAN wake capabilities, the +5 V standby line for the power supply must be capable
of providing adequate +5 V standby current. Failure to provide adequate standby
current when implementing LAN wake capabilities can damage the power supply.
LAN wake capabilities enable remote wake-up of the computer through a network.
The LAN subsystem monitors network traffic at the Media Independent Interface.
Upon detecting a Magic Packet* frame, the LAN subsystem asserts a wake-up signal
that powers up the computer.

Product Description
1.16.2.4 Instantly Available PC Technology
CAUTION
For Instantly Available PC technology, the +5 V standby line for the power supply
must be capable of providing adequate +5 V standby current. Failure to provide
adequate standby current when implementing Instantly Available PC technology can
damage the power supply.
Instantly Available PC technology enables the board to enter the ACPI S3 (Suspend-toRAM) sleep-state. While in the S3 sleep-state, the computer will appear to be off (the
power supply is off and the front panel power LED will behave as configured by the
BIOS “S3 State Indicator” option). When signaled by a wake-up device or event, the
system quickly returns to its last known wake state. Table 7 on page 36 lists the
devices and events that can wake the computer from the S3 state.
The board supports the PC
boards that also support this specification can participate in power management and
can be used to wake the computer.
The use of Instantly Available PC technology requires operating system support and
PCI 2.2 compliant add-in cards, PCI Express add-in cards, and drivers.

1.16.2.5 Wake from USB
USB bus activity wakes the computer from an ACPI S3 state.
NOTE
Wake from USB requires the use of a USB peripheral that supports Wake from USB
and is supported by the operating system.
1.16.2.6 PME# Signal Wake-up Support
When the PME# signal on the Conventional PCI bus is asserted, the computer wakes
from an ACPI S3, S4, or S5 state.
1.16.2.7 WAKE# Signal Wake-up Support
When the WAKE# signal on a PCI Express add-in card is asserted, the computer wakes
from an ACPI S3, S4, or S5 state.
1.16.2.8 Wake from Serial Port
Serial port activity wakes the computer from an ACPI S3 state.
The green +5 V standby power indicator LED shows that power is still present even
when the computer appears to be off. Figure 7 shows the location of the Standby
Power indicator LED on the board.
CAUTION
If AC power has been switched off and the standby power indicators are still lit,
disconnect the power cord before installing or removing any devices connected to the
board. Failure to do so could damage the board and any attached devices.

2.1 Memory Resources
2.1.1 Addressable Memory
The board utilizes 32 GB of addressable system memory. Typically the address space
that is allocated for PCI Conventional bus add-in cards, PCI Express configuration
space, BIOS (SPI Flash device), and chipset overhead resides above the top of DRAM
(total system memory). On a system that has 32 GB of system memory installed, it is
not possible to use all of the installed memory due to system address space being
allocated for other system critical functions. These functions include the following:
• BIOS/SPI Flash device (64 Mbit)
• Local APIC (19 MB)
• Direct Media Interface (40 MB)
• Front side bus interrupts (17 MB)
• PCI Express configuration space (256 MB)
• PCH base address registers PCI Express ports (up to 256 MB)
• Memory-mapped I/O that is dynamically allocated for PCI Conventional and PCI
Express add-in cards (256 MB)
The board provides the capability to reclaim the physical memory overlapped by the
memory mapped I/O logical address space. The board remaps physical memory from
the top of usable DRAM boundary to the 4 GB boundary to an equivalent sized logical
address range located just above the 4 GB boundary. Figure 8 shows a schematic of
the system memory map. All installed system memory can be used when there is no
overlap of system addresses.
NOTE
32-bit operating systems may not be able to make use of physical memory higher
than 4 GB. Check with your operating system vendor.
NOTE
32-bit operating systems may see less available memory than what is shown in
Section 2.1.1 due to CPU MTRR cache allocation.

2.2 Connectors and Headers
Technical Reference
CAUTION
Only the following connectors and headers have overcurrent protection: back panel
and front panel USB, as well as IEEE 1394a.
The other internal connectors and headers are not overcurrent protected and should
connect only to devices inside the computer’s chassis, such as fans and internal
peripherals. Do not use these connectors or headers to power devices external to the
computer’s chassis. A fault in the load presented by the external devices could cause
damage to the computer, the power cable, and the external devices themselves.
Furthermore, improper connection of USB header single wire connectors may
eventually overload the overcurrent protection and cause damage to the board.
This section describes the board’s connectors. The connectors can be divided into
these groups:
• Back panel I/O connectors
• Component-side I/O connectors and headers (see page 45)
Figure 9 shows the location of the back panel connectors for the board.

•One PCI Express 2.0 x16: this connector supports simultaneous transfer speeds of
up to 8 GB/s of peak bandwidth per direction.
•PCI Express 2.0 x4: one PCI Express 2.0 x4 connector. The x4 interface supports
simultaneous transfer speeds up to 500 MB/s of peak bandwidth per direction and
up to 4 GB/s concurrent bandwidth.
•PCI Express 2.0 x1: one PCI Express 2.0 x1 connector. The x1 interface supports
simultaneous transfer speeds up to 1 GB/s of peak bandwidth per direction and up
to 2 GB/s concurrent bandwidth.
The board has the following power supply connectors:
•Main power – a 2 x 12 connector. This connector is compatible with 2 x 10
connectors previously used on Intel Desktop boards. The board supports the use
of ATX12V power supplies with either 2 x 10 or 2 x 12 main power cables. When
using a power supply with a 2 x 10 main power cable, pins 11, 12, 23, and
24 must remain unconnected.
•Processor core power – a 2 x 2 connector. This connector provides power
directly to the processor voltage regulator and must always be used. Failure to do
so will prevent the board from booting.
CAUTION
If a high power (75 W or greater) add-in card is installed in the PCI Express x16
connector, that card must also be connected directly to the power supply. Failure to
do so may cause damage to the board and the add-in card.

2.5 Mechanical Considerations
2.5.1 Form Factor
The board is designed to fit into a microATX form-factor chassis. Figure 15 illustrates
the mechanical form factor for the board. Dimensions are given in inches
[millimeters]. The outer dimensions are 9.60 inches by 9.60 inches
[243.84 millimeters by 243.84 millimeters]. Location of the I/O connectors and
mounting holes are in compliance with the ATX specification.
The +5 V standby line from the power supply must be capable of providing adequate
+5 V standby current. Failure to do so can damage the power supply. The total
amount of standby current required depends on the wake devices supported and
manufacturing options.
Additional power required will depend on configurations chosen by the integrator.
The power supply must comply with the indicated parameters of the ATX form factor
specification.
• The potential relation between 3.3 VDC and +5 VDC power rails
• The current capability of the +5 VSB line
• All timing parameters
• All voltage tolerances
For example, for a system consisting of a supported 95 W processor (see Section 1.4
on page 14 for information on supported processors), 2 GB DDR3 RAM, one high end
video card, one hard disk drive, one optical drive, and all board peripherals enabled,
the minimum recommended power supply is 460 W. Table 28 lists the recommended
power supply current values.

Technical Reference
2.6.2 Fan Header Current Capability
CAUTION
The processor fan must be connected to the processor fan header, not to a chassis fan
header. Connecting the processor fan to a chassis fan header may result in onboard
component damage that will halt fan operation.
Table 29 lists the current capability of the fan headers.
Table 29. Fan Header Current Capability
Fan Header Maximum Available Current
Processor fan 2.0 A
Front chassis fan 1.5 A
Rear chassis fan 1.5 A
2.6.3 Add-in Board Considerations
The board is designed to provide 2 A (average) of current for each add-in board from
the +5 V rail. The total +5 V current draw for add-in boards for a fully loaded board
(all expansion slots filled) must not exceed the system’s power supply +5 V maximum
current.
A chassis with a maximum internal ambient temperature of 38 oC at the processor fan
inlet is required. Use of a processor heat sink that provides omni-directional airflow to
maintain required airflow across the processor voltage regulator area is highly
recommended. For a list of chassis that have been tested with Intel desktop boards
please refer to the following website:
All responsibility for determining the adequacy of any thermal or system design
remains solely with the reader. Intel makes no warranties or representations that
merely following the instructions presented in this document will result in a system
with adequate thermal performance.
CAUTION
The ambient temperature must not exceed the board’s maximum operating
temperature. Failure to do so could cause components to exceed their maximum case
temperature and malfunction. For information about the maximum operating
temperature, see the environmental specifications in Section 2.9.
CAUTION
Ensure that proper airflow is maintained in the processor voltage regulator circuit.
Failure to do so may result in damage to the voltage regulator circuit.

3 Overview of BIOS Features
3.1 Introduction
The board uses an Intel BIOS that is stored in a 64 Mbit (8,192 KB) Serial Peripheral
Interface Flash Memory (SPI Flash) device which can be updated using a set of
utilities. The SPI Flash contains the BIOS Setup program, POST, LAN EEPROM
information, Plug and Play support, and other firmware.
The BIOS displays a message during POST identifying the type of BIOS and a revision
code. The initial production BIOSs are identified as SWQ6710H.86A.
The BIOS Setup program can be used to view and change the BIOS settings for the
computer. The BIOS Setup program is accessed by pressing the <F2> key after the
Power-On Self-Test (POST) memory test begins and before the operating system boot
begins. The menu bar is shown below.
Maintenance Main Configuration Performance Security Power Boot Intel ME Exit
NOTE
The maintenance menu is displayed only when the board is in configure mode.
Section 2.3 on page 54 shows how to put the board in configure mode.
CAUTION
Resetting the BIOS to defaults may result in the system becoming unbootable or
corrupting the HDD if RAID is used. This is due to the fact that Chipset-SATA Mode
now defaults to AHCI.

Overview of BIOS Features
3.2 System Management BIOS (SMBIOS)
SMBIOS is a Desktop Management Interface (DMI) compliant method for managing
computers in a managed network.
The main component of SMBIOS is the Management Information Format (MIF)
database, which contains information about the computing system and its
components. Using SMBIOS, a system administrator can obtain the system types,
capabilities, operational status, and installation dates for system components. The
MIF database defines the data and provides the method for accessing this information.
The BIOS enables applications such as third-party management software to use
SMBIOS. The BIOS stores and reports the following SMBIOS information:
• BIOS data, such as the BIOS revision level
• Fixed-system data, such as peripherals, serial numbers, and asset tags
• Resource data, such as memory size, cache size, and processor speed
• Dynamic data, such as event detection and error logging
Non-Plug and Play operating systems require an additional interface for obtaining the
SMBIOS information. The BIOS supports an SMBIOS table interface for such operating
systems. Using this support, an SMBIOS service-level application running on a
non-Plug and Play operating system can obtain the SMBIOS information. Additional
board information can be found in the BIOS under the Additional Information header
under the Main BIOS page.
3.3 Legacy USB Support
Legacy USB support enables USB devices to be used even when the operating
system’s USB drivers are not yet available. Legacy USB support is used to access the
BIOS Setup program, and to install an operating system that supports USB. By
default, Legacy USB support is set to Enabled.
Legacy USB support operates as follows:
1. When you apply power to the computer, legacy support is disabled.
2. POST begins.
3. Legacy USB support is enabled by the BIOS allowing you to use a USB keyboard to
enter and configure the BIOS Setup program and the maintenance menu.
4. POST completes.
5. The operating system loads. While the operating system is loading, USB
keyboards and mice are recognized and may be used to configure the operating
system. (Keyboards and mice are not recognized during this period if Legacy USB
support was set to Disabled in the BIOS Setup program.)
6. After the operating system loads the USB drivers, all legacy and non-legacy USB
devices are recognized by the operating system, and Legacy USB support from the
BIOS is no longer used.

Overview of BIOS Features
3.4.2 Custom Splash Screen
During POST, an Intel® splash screen is displayed by default. This splash screen can
be augmented with a custom splash screen. The Intel Integrator’s Toolkit that is
available from Intel can be used to create a custom splash screen.
It is unlikely that anything will interrupt a BIOS update; however, if an interruption
occurs, the BIOS could be damaged. Table 34 lists the drives and media types that
can and cannot be used for BIOS recovery. The BIOS recovery media does not need
to be made bootabl
level.
e however, it must contain the motherboard .bio file at the root

In the BIOS Setup program, the user can choose to boot from a hard drive, optical
drive, removable drive, or the network. The default setting is for the optical drive to
be the first boot device, the hard drive second, removable drive third, and the network
fourth.
3.6.1 Optical Drive Boot
Booting from the optical drive is supported in compliance to the El Torito bootable
CD-ROM format specification. Under the Boot menu in the BIOS Setup program, the
optical drive is listed as a boot device. Boot devices are defined in priority order.
Accordingly, if there is not a bootable CD in the optical drive, the system will attempt
to boot from the next defined drive.
3.6.2 Network Boot
The network can be selected as a boot device. This selection allows booting from the
onboard LAN or a network add-in card with a remote boot ROM installed.
Pressing the <F12> key during POST automatically forces booting from the LAN. To
use this key during POST, the User Access Level in the BIOS Setup program's Security
menu must be set to Full.
3.6.3 Booting Without Attached Devices
For use in embedded applications, the BIOS has been designed so that after passing
the POST, the operating system loader is invoked even if the following devices are not
present:
• Video adapter
• Keyboard
• Mouse
3.6.4 Changing the Default Boot Device During POST
Pressing the <F10> key during POST causes a boot device menu to be displayed. This
menu displays the list of available boot devices. Table 35 lists the boot device menu
options.

Overview of BIOS Features
3.7 Hard Disk Drive Password Security Feature
The Hard Disk Drive Password Security feature blocks read and write accesses to the
hard disk drive until the correct password is given. Hard Disk Drive Passwords are set
in BIOS SETUP and are prompted for during BIOS POST. For convenient support of S3
resume, the system BIOS will automatically unlock drives on resume from S3.
The User hard disk drive password, when installed, will be required upon each powercycle until the Master Key or User hard disk drive password is submitted.
The Master Key hard disk drive password, when installed, will not lock the drive. The
Master Key hard disk drive password exists as an unlock override in the event that the
User hard disk drive password is forgotten. Only the installation of the User hard disk
drive password will cause a hard disk to be locked upon a system power-cycle.
Table 36 shows the effects of setting the Hard Disk Drive Passwords.
Table 36. Master Key and User Hard Drive Password Functions
Password Set Password During Boot
Neither None
Master only None
User only User only
Master and User Set Master or User
During every POST, if a User hard disk drive password is set, POST execution will
pause with the following prompt to force the user to enter the Master Key or User hard
disk drive password:
Enter Hard Disk Drive Password:
Upon successful entry of the Master Key or User hard disk drive password, the system
will continue with normal POST.
If the hard disk drive password is not correctly entered, the system will go back to the
above prompt. The user will have three attempts to correctly enter the hard disk drive
password. After the third unsuccessful hard disk drive password attempt, the system
will halt with the message:
Hard Disk Drive Password Entry Error
A manual power cycle will be required to resume system operation.
NOTE
As implemented on DQ67SW, Hard Disk Drive Password Security is only supported on
SATA port 0. The passwords are stored on the hard disk drive so if the drive is
relocated to another SATA port or computer that does not support Hard Disk Drive
Password Security feature, the drive will not be accessible.
Hard Disk Drive Password Security is not supported in PCH RAID mode. Secured hard
disk drives attached to the system when the system is in PCH RAID mode will not be
accessible due to the disabling of BIOS Hard Disk Drive Password support.
3.8 BIOS Security Features
The BIOS includes security features that restrict access to the BIOS Setup program
and who can boot the computer. A supervisor password and a user password can be
set for the BIOS Setup program and for booting the computer, with the following
restrictions:
•The supervisor password gives unrestricted access to view and change all the
Setup options in the BIOS Setup program. This is the supervisor mode.
•The user password gives restricted access to view and change Setup options in the
BIOS Setup program. This is the user mode.
•If only the supervisor password is set, pressing the <Enter> key at the password
prompt of the BIOS Setup program allows the user restricted access to Setup.
•If both the supervisor and user passwords are set, users can enter either the
supervisor password or the user password to access Setup. Users have access to
Setup respective to which password is entered.
•Setting the user password restricts who can boot the computer. The password
prompt will be displayed before the computer is booted. If only the supervisor
password is set, the computer boots without asking for a password. If both
passwords are set, the user can enter either password to boot the computer.
•For enhanced security, use different passwords for the supervisor and user
passwords.
•Valid password characters are A-Z, a-z, and 0-9. Passwords may be up to
16 characters in length.

Error Messages and Beep Codes
4.5 Port 80h POST Codes
During the POST, the BIOS generates diagnostic progress codes (POST codes) to I/O
port 80h. If the POST fails, execution stops and the last POST code generated is left
at port 80h. This code is useful for determining the point where an error occurred.
Displaying the POST codes requires a PCI bus add-in card, often called a POST card.
The POST card can decode the port and display the contents on a medium such as a
seven-segment display.
NOTE
The POST card must be installed in the PCI bus connector.
The following tables provide information about the POST codes generated by the
BIOS:
• Table 41 lists the Port 80h POST code ranges
• Table 42 lists the Port 80h POST codes themselves
• Table 43 lists the Port 80h POST sequence
