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.

1.5.1 Memory Configurations
The Intel Core i7 and Intel Xeon Processors support the following types of memory
organization:
• Tri/Dual channel (Interleaved) mode. This mode offers the highest
throughput for real world applications. Interleaving reduces overall memory
latency by accessing the DIMM memory sequentially. Data is spread amongst the
memory modules in an alternating pattern.
⎯ Three independent memory channels give two possible modes of interleaving:
• Tri-channel mode is enabled when identical matched memory modules are
installed in each of the three memory channels (blue connectors).
• Dual channel mode is enabled when two of the blue memory connectors are
populated with matched DIMMs.
• 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 installed memory modules are not matched.
Technology and device width can vary from one channel to the other.

X58 Chipset
The Intel X58 chipset consists of the following devices:
• Intel 82X58 IOH with Direct Media Interface (DMI) interconnect
• Intel 82801IJR I/O Controller Hub (ICH10R)
The IOH component provides interfaces to the processor and the PCI Express graphics
connectors. The ICH10R is a centralized controller for the board’s I/O paths.
For information about Refer to
The Intel X58 chipset http://www.intel.com/products/desktop/chipsets/index.htm
Resources used by the chipset Chapter 2
1.6.1 USB
The board supports up to 14 USB ports. The port arrangement is as follows:
• Two USB 3.0 ports are implemented with stacked back panel connectors (blue)
• Six USB 2.0 ports are implemented with stacked back panel connectors (black)
• Six USB 2.0 front panel ports implemented through three internal headers
The Intel X58 Express Chipset provides the USB controller for the 2.0 ports. The two
USB 3.0 ports are provided by the NEC* UPD720200 controller. All 14 USB ports are
high-speed, full-speed, and low-speed capable. The USB 3.0 ports are super-speed
capable.

Product Description
1.6.2 Serial ATA Interfaces
The board provides eight SATA interfaces:
• Six 3 Gb/s interfaces through the ICH10R (black)
• Two SATA 6 Gb/s interfaces through the Marvel 88SE9128 controller (blue)
The board also provides two red-colored external Serial ATA (eSATA) connectors on
the back panel.
1.6.2.1 Serial ATA Support
The board’s Serial ATA controller offers eight independent Serial ATA ports. One
device can be installed on each port for a maximum of eight 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 Conventional PCI bus resource steering is used.
Native mode is the preferred mode for configurations using the Windows* XP and
Windows Vista* operating systems.
NOTE
Many Serial ATA drives use new low-voltage power connectors and require adapters or
power supplies equipped with low-voltage power connectors.
For more information, see: http://www.serialata.org/
For information about Refer to
The location of the Serial ATA connectors Figure 11, page 41
.
1.6.2.2 Serial ATA RAID
The board supports the following RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Drives)
levels via the ICH10R:
• RAID 0 - data striping
• RAID 1 - data mirroring
• RAID 0+1 (or RAID 10) - data striping and mirroring
• RAID 5 - distributed parity
NOTE
In order to use supported RAID features, you must first enable RAID in the BIOS.
Also, during Microsoft Windows XP installation, you must press F6 to install the RAID
drivers. See your Microsoft Windows XP documentation for more information about
installing drivers during installation.

Intel Desktop Board DX58OG Technical Product Specification
1.7 Real-Time Clock Subsystem
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, Date and Time values will be reset and the user will
be notified during POST.
When the voltage drops below a certain level, the BIOS Setup program settings stored
in CMOS RAM (for example, the date and time) might not be accurate. Replace the
battery with an equivalent one. Figure 1 on page 11 shows the location of the battery.

The I/O controller provides the following features:
• Consumer Infrared (CIR) headers
• Serial IRQ interface compatible with serialized IRQ support for PCI systems
• Intelligent power management, including a programmable wake-up event interface
• PCI power management support
The BIOS Setup program provides configuration options for the I/O controller.
1.8.1 Consumer Infrared (CIR)
The Consumer Infrared (CIR) feature is designed to comply with Microsoft Consumer
Infrared usage models. Microsoft Windows Vista is the supported operating system
The CIR feature is made up of two separate pieces: the receiving (receiver) header,
and the output (emitter) header. The receiving header consists of a filtered translated
infrared input compliant with Microsoft CIR specifications, and also a “learning”
infrared input. This learning input is simply a high pass input which the computer can
use to “learn” to speak the infrared communication language of other user remotes.
The emitter header consists of two output ports which the PC can use to emulate
“learned” infrared commands in order to control external electronic hardware.
Customers are required to buy or create their own interface modules to plug into Intel
Desktop Boards for this feature to work.
