1.3 Processor
The board is designed to support the following processors:
• Intel Pentium
• Intel Celeron D processor in an LGA775 processor socket with a 533 MHz system bus
For information about… Refer to:
Supported processors for the D101GGC
board

CAUTION
Use only the processors listed on web site above. Use of unsupported processors can damage the
board, the processor, and the power supply.
INTEGRATOR’S NOTE
#
• Use only ATX12V-compliant power supplies.
• Refer to Table 3 on page 15 for a list of supported system bus frequency and memory speed
combinations.
For information about Refer to
Power supply connectors Section 2.7.2.1, page 41

1.4 System Memory
The board has two DIMM sockets and supports the following memory features:
• 2.5 V (only) DDR SDRAM DIMMs
• Unbuffered, single-sided or double-sided DIMMs with the following restriction:
Double-sided DIMMS with x16 organization are not supported.
• Minimum total system memory: 128 MB
• Non-ECC DIMMs
• Serial Presence Detect
• DDR 400 MHz and DDR 333 MHz SDRAM DIMMs
Table 3 lists the supported system bus frequency and memory speed combinations.
Table 3. Supported System Bus Frequency and Memory Speed Combinations
To use this type of DIMM… The processor's system bus frequency must be…
DDR 400 800 MHz
DDR 333 800 or 533 MHz
Product Description
NOTE
To be fully compliant with all applicable DDR SDRAM memory specifications, the board should be
populated with DIMMs that support the Serial Presence Detect (SPD) data structure. This allows
the BIOS to read the SPD data and program the chipset to accurately configure memory settings
for optimum performance. If non-SPD memory is installed, the BIOS will attempt to correctly
configure the memory settings, but performance and reliability may be impacted or the DIMMs
may not function under the determined frequency.
Table 4 lists the supported DIMM configurations.

Intel Desktop Board D101GGC Technical Product Specification
1.5 ATI Radeon* Xpress 200 Chipset
The ATI Radeon Xpress 200 chipset consists of the following devices:
• ATI Radeon Xpress 200 Northbridge
• IXP 450 Southbridge
The ATI Radeon Xpress 200 Northbridge is a centralized controller for the system bus, the memory
bus, and the PCI Express bus. The ATI Radeon Xpress 200 Northbridge also provides integrated
graphics capabilities supporting 3D, 2D and display capabilities. The IXP 450 is a centralized
controller for the board’s I/O paths. The FWH provides the nonvolatile storage of the BIOS.
For information about Refer to
The ATI Radeon Xpress 200 Northbridge http://www.ati.com/
The IXP 450 Southbridge http://www.ati.com/
Resources used by the chipset Chapter 2
1.5.1 Graphics Subsystem
The board contains two separate, mutually exclusive graphics options. Either the integrated
graphics processor (contained within the ATI Radeon Xpress 200 Northbridge) is used, or a PCI
Express x16 add-in card can be used. When a PCI Express x16 add-in card is installed, the ATI
Radeon Xpress 200 Northbridge graphics controller is disabled.
1.5.2 Firmware Hub (FWH)
The Firmware Hub provides the nonvolatile storage of the AwardBIOS for Intel.
1.5.3 USB
The board supports up to eight USB 2.0 ports, supports UHCI and EHCI, and uses UHCI- and
EHCI-compatible drivers.
The IXP 450 Southbridge provides the USB controller for all ports. The port arrangement is as
follows:
• Four ports are implemented with dual stacked back panel connectors adjacent to the audio
connectors
• Four ports are routed to two separate front panel USB connectors
NOTE
Computer systems that have an unshielded cable attached to a USB port may not meet FCC
Class B requirements, even if no device is attached to the cable. Use shielded cable that meets the
requirements for full-speed devices.
For information about Refer to
The location of the USB connectors on the back panel Figure 6, page 37

Product Description
1.5.4 IDE Support
The board provides six IDE interface connectors:
• Two parallel ATA IDE connector that supports two devices
• Four serial ATA IDE connectors that support one device per connector
1.5.4.1 Parallel ATE IDE Interface
The IXP 450’s Parallel ATA IDE controller has two bus-mastering Parallel ATA IDE interfaces.
The Parallel ATA IDE interfaces support the following modes:
• Programmed I/O (PIO): processor controls data transfer.
• 8237-style DMA: DMA offloads the processor, supporting transfer rates of up to 16 MB/sec.
• Ultra DMA: DMA protocol on IDE bus supporting host and target throttling and transfer rates
of up to 33 MB/sec.
• ATA-66: DMA protocol on IDE bus supporting host and target throttling and transfer rates of
up to 66 MB/sec. ATA-66 protocol is similar to Ultra DMA and is device driver compatible.
• ATA-100: DMA protocol on IDE bus allows host and target throttling. The IXP 450’s
ATA-100 logic can achieve read transfer rates up to 100 MB/sec and write transfer rates up to
88 MB/sec.
NOTE
ATA-66 and ATA-100 are faster timings and require a specialized cable to reduce reflections,
noise, and inductive coupling.
The Parallel ATA IDE interfaces also support ATAPI devices (such as CD-ROM drives) and ATA
devices using the transfer modes.
For information about Refer to
The location of the Parallel ATA IDE connectors Figure 7, page 38
1.5.4.2 Serial ATA Interfaces
The IXP 450’s Serial ATA controller offers four independent Serial ATA ports with a theoretical
maximum transfer rate of 150 MB/s per port. One device can be installed on each port for a
maximum of four Serial ATA devices. A point-to-point interface is used for host to device
connections, unlike Parallel ATA IDE which supports a master/slave configuration and two devices
per channel.
For compatibility, the underlying Serial ATA functionality is transparent to the operating system.
The Serial ATA controller can operate in both legacy and native modes. In legacy mode, standard
IDE I/O and IRQ resources are assigned (IRQ 14 and 15). In Native mode, standard PCI
Conventional bus resource steering is used. Native mode is the preferred mode for configurations
using the Windows* XP and Windows 2000 operating systems.

1.5.5 Real-Time Clock, CMOS SRAM, and Battery
A coin-cell battery (CR2032) powers the real-time clock and CMOS memory. When the computer
is not plugged into a wall socket, the battery has an estimated life of three years. When the
computer is plugged in, the standby current from the power supply extends the life of the battery.
The clock is accurate to ± 13 minutes/year at 25 ºC with 3.3 VSB applied.
NOTE
If the battery and AC power fail, custom defaults, if previously saved, will be loaded into CMOS
RAM at power-on.
1.6 PCI Express* Connectors
The board provides the following PCI Express connectors:
• One PCI Express x16 connector supporting simultaneous transfer speeds up to 8 GBytes/sec
• One PCI Express x1 connector. The x1 interface supports simultaneous transfer speeds up to
500 MBytes/sec
The PCI Express interface supports the PCI Conventional bus configuration mechanism so that the
underlying PCI Express architecture is compatible with PCI Conventional compliant operating
systems. Additional features of the PCI Express interface include the following:
• Support for the PCI Express enhanced configuration mechanism
• Automatic discovery, link training, and initialization
• Support for Active State Power Management (ASPM)
• SMBus 2.0 support
• Wake# signal supporting wake events from ACPI S1, S3, S4, or S5
• Software compatible with the PCI Power Management Event (PME) mechanism defined in the
PCI Power Management Specification Rev. 1.1

Intel Desktop Board D101GGC Technical Product Specification
1.8 High Definition Audio Subsystem
The board includes a flexible 6-channel audio subsystem based on an Intel® High Definition Audio
interface. The audio subsystem features:
• ATI IXP 450 Southbridge
• Realtek ALC861 audio codec
• Impedance sensing capability for jack re-tasking
• S/N (signal-to-noise) ratio of 90 dB
• Microphone input supporting:
⎯ Stereo microphone
⎯ Microphone boost
INTEGRATOR’S NOTE
#
For the front panel jack sensing and automatic retasking feature to function, a front panel daughter
card that is designed for Intel High Definition Audio must be used. Otherwise, an AC ’97 style
audio front panel connector will be assumed and the Line Out and Mic In functions will be
permanent.
1.8.1 Audio Subsystem Software
Audio software and drivers are available from Intel’s World Wide Web site.
