If an FCC declaration of conformity marking is present on the board, the following statement applies:

FCC Declaration of Conformity

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device
may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that
may cause undesired operation.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the
FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee
that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct
the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.

• Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit other than the one to which the receiver is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Any changes or modifications to the equipment not expressly approved by Intel Corporation could void the user’s authority to
operate the equipment.

Tested to comply with FCC standards for home or office use.

Canadian Department of Communications Compliance Statement

This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class B limits for radio noise emissions from digital apparatus set out in the
Radio Interference Regulations of the Canadian Department of Communications.

Le présent appareil numerique német pas de bruits radioélectriques dépassant les limites applicables aux appareils
numériques de la classe B prescrites dans le Réglement sur le broullage radioélectrique édicté par le ministére des
Communications du Canada.

Hi-Speed USB 2.0 Support

NOTE

Computer systems that have an unshielded cable attached to a USB port might not meet FCC
Class B requirements, even if no device or a low-speed USB device is attached to the cable.
Use a shielded cable that meets the requirements for a full-speed USB device.

The desktop board supports up to eight USB 2.0; four ports routed to the back panel and four routed
to two internal USB 2.0 headers. USB 2.0 ports are backward compatible with USB 1.1 devices.
USB 1.1 devices will function normally at USB 1.1 speeds.

USB 2.0 support requires both an operating system and drivers that fully support USB 2.0 transfer
rates. Disabling Hi-Speed USB in the BIOS reverts all USB 2.0 ports to USB 1.1 operation. This
may be required to accommodate operating systems that do not support USB 2.0.

16

Desktop Board Features

Enhanced IDE Interface

The IDE interface handles the exchange of information between the processor and peripheral
devices like hard disks, CD-ROM drives, and Iomega Zip* drives inside the computer. The
interface supports:

• Up to four IDE devices (such as hard drives)

• ATAPI-style devices (such as CD-ROM drives)

• Older PIO Mode devices

• Ultra DMA-33/66/100 modes

Serial ATA

The desktop board supports four Serial ATA channels (1.5 Gb/s), connecting one device per
channel.

Expandability

The desktop board supports the following:

• One PCI Express x16 add-in card

• One PCI Express x1 add-in card

• Two PCI add-in cards

Related Links:

For information about installing the PCI Express x16 card, see page

34 in Chapter 2.

BIOS

The BIOS provides the Power-On Self-Test (POST), the BIOS Setup program, the PCI/PCI
Express and IDE auto-configuration utilities, and the video BIOS.

Serial ATA and IDE Auto Configuration

If you install a Serial ATA or IDE device (such as a hard drive) in your computer, the auto­configuration utility in the BIOS automatically detects and configures the device for your computer.
You do not need to run the BIOS Setup program after installing a Serial ATA or IDE device. You
can override the auto-configuration options by specifying manual configuration in the BIOS Setup
program.

PCI and PCI Express Auto Configuration

If you install a PCI/PCI Express add-in card in your computer, the PCI/PCI Express auto­configuration utility in the BIOS automatically detects and configures the resources (IRQs, DMA
channels, and I/O space) for that add-in card. You do not need to run the BIOS Setup program after
you install a PCI/PCI Express add-in card.

17

Intel Desktop Board D101GGC Product Guide

Security Passwords

The BIOS includes security features that restrict whether the BIOS Setup program can be accessed
and who can boot the computer. A supervisor password and a user password can be set for the
BIOS Setup and for booting the computer, with the following restrictions:

• The supervisor password gives unrestricted access to view and change all Setup options. If
only the supervisor password is set, pressing <Enter> at the password prompt of Setup gives the
user restricted access to Setup.

• If both the supervisor and user passwords are set, you must enter either the supervisor password
or the user password to access Setup. Setup options are then available for viewing and
changing depending on whether the supervisor or user password was entered.

• Setting a user password restricts who can boot the computer. The password prompt is
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, you can enter either password
to boot the computer.

Related Links:

For instructions on resetting the password, see

Clearing Passwords on page 45.

Chassis Intrusion

The board supports a chassis security feature that detects if the chassis cover has been removed.
The security feature uses a mechanical switch on the chassis that can be connected to the chassis
intrusion connector on the desktop board. See
intrusion connector.

Figure 22 on page 43 for the location of the chassis

Power Management Features

Power management is implemented at several levels, including:

• Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI)

• Hardware support:
⎯ Power connectors
⎯ Fan connectors
⎯ Suspend to RAM (Instantly Available PC technology)
⎯ Wake from USB
⎯ Wake from PS/2 keyboard/mouse
⎯ PME# wakeup support

ACPI

ACPI gives the operating system direct control over the power management and Plug and Play
functions of a computer. The use of ACPI with the desktop board requires an operating system that
provides full ACPI support.

Power Connectors

The desktop board has three power connectors. See Figure 21 on page 42 for the location of the
power connectors.
