Processors

CAUTION

Use only the processors listed below. Use of unsupported processors can damage the board, the processor, and the power supply. See the Intel Desktop D815EA2/D815EPEA2 or D815EFV/D815EPFV Specification Update for the latest list of supported processors for theD815EEA2, D815EPEA2, D815EFV, and D815EPFV boards.

The boards support a single Intel Pentium III processor or Intel Celeron processor above 533 MHz. Processors are not included with the desktop board and must be purchased separately.

The processor connects to the desktop board through a PGA370 socket. The boards support the processors listed in Table 4.

Desktop Board Features

Main Memory

CAUTION

Remove the AGP video card before installing or upgrading memory to avoid interference with the memory retention mechanism.

NOTE

✏

To be fully compliant with all applicable Intel® SDRAM memory specifications, the board should be populated with DIMMs that support the Serial Presence Detect (SPD) data structure. If your memory modules do not support SPD, you will see a notification to this effect on the screen at power up. The BIOS will attempt to configure the memory controller for normal operation. However, DIMMs may not function under the determined frequency.

NOTE

✏

Because the main system memory is also used as video memory, the board requires a 100 MHz SDRAM DIMM even though the host bus frequency is 66 MHz. It is highly recommended that an SPD DIMM be used, since 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.

The boards supports 168-pin SDRAM DIMMs as defined below:

• 168-pin SDRAM Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMMs) with gold-plated contacts

• Three DIMM slots are provided for flexible memory configurations

• 133 MHz SDRAM up to two double-sided DIMMs, or one double-sided DIMM and two

single-sided DIMMs

• 100 MHz SDRAM up to three double-sided DIMMs

• Minimum system memory: 32 MB

• Maximum system memory: 512 MB

NOTE

✏

The BIOS cannot determine DIMM size or type when not initialized. If more than 512 MB system memory is installed, the BIOS displays a message at boot indicating memory above 512 MB has not been initialized. The message indicates that additional information is available in Setup. The first time the BIOS detects this condition, a pause follows the message with the option to enter Setup or to <ESC> and continue to boot. The message continues to be displayed at boot time as long as the condition exists, however, the BIOS will not pause on subsequent detection. Setup displays the installed memory configuration and shows memory above 512 MB as “not initialized.”

Intel Desktop Boards D815EEA2, D815EPEA2, D815EFV, and D815EPFV Product Guide

• Unbuffered single or double-sided DIMMs

• Serial Presence Detect (SPD) memory

• Non-ECC and ECC DIMMs (ECC DIMMs will operate in non-ECC mode only)

• 3.3 V memory (only)

• Suspend to RAM support

• Mixed speed DIMM configuration will default to the slowest speed DIMM installed.

The board supports the processor and memory module combinations shown in Table 5.

Table 5. Processor and Memory Module Combinations

Processor Type (System Bus Frequency) PC100 Memory Modules… PC133 Memory Modules…

Intel Celeron processor (66 MHz) …will operate at 100 MHz …will operate at 100 MHz

Intel Celeron processor (100 MHz) …will operate at 100 MHz

Intel Pentium III processor (133 MHz) …will operate at 100 MHz …will operate at 133 MHz

…will operate at 100 MHz

(see note below)

NOTES

BIOS

The BIOS provides the Power-On Self-Test (POST), the BIOS Setup program, the PCI and IDE auto-configuration utilities, and the video BIOS. The BIOS is stored in the Firmware Hub.

The BIOS can be upgraded by following the instructions in Chapter 3.

PCI Auto Configuration

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

IDE Auto Configuration

If you install an IDE device (such as a hard drive) in your computer, the IDE auto-configuration 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 an IDE device. You can override the autoconfiguration options by specifying manual configuration in the BIOS Setup program.

To use ATA-66/100 features, the following items are required:

• An ATA-66/100 peripheral device

• An ATA-66/100 compatible cable

• ATA-66/100 operating system device drivers

Desktop Board Features

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 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.

Speaker

A 47 Ω inductive speaker is mounted on the desktop boards. The speaker provides audible error code (beep code) information during the Power-On Self-Test (POST).

LAN Subsystem (Optional)

A battery on the desktop board keeps the values in CMOS RAM and the clock current when the computer is turned off. See Chapter 2 for instructions on how to replace the battery.

Power Management Features

Power management is implemented at several levels, including:

• Software support:  Advanced Power Management (APM)  Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI)

• Hardware support:  Power connector  Fan connectors  Wake on LAN technology (optional)  Instantly Available technology  S5 wake on PCI bus connector 2 only  Wake from USB  Wake on Keyboard  Wake on PME#  Resume on Ring

If the board is used with an ACPI-aware operating system, the BIOS can provide ACPI support. Otherwise, it defaults to APM support.

Desktop Board Features

Wake on LAN Technology (Optional)

CAUTION

For Wake on LAN 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 Wake on LAN technology can damage the power supply.

The optional Wake on LAN technology connector can be used with PCI bus network adapters that have a remote wake-up connector. Network adapters that are PCI 2.2 compliant assert the wake-up signal using the PCI bus signal PME# (pin A19 on the PCI bus connectors). See Figure 30 on page 82 for the location of the Wake on LAN technology connector on the desktop board.

Instantly Available Technology

CAUTION

For Instantly Available 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 Wake on LAN technology can damage the power supply.

CAUTION

If the standby current necessary to support multiple wake events from the PCI and/or USB buses exceeds power supply capacity, the desktop board may lose register settings stored in memory.

Instantly Available technology enables the board to enter the ACPI S3 (Suspend-to-RAM) sleep state. While in the S3 sleep state, the computer will appear to be off. When signaled by a wake-up device or event, the system quickly returns to its last known awake state.

The desktop board standby power indicator, shown in Figure 3, is lit when the memory modules and PCI bus connectors have power, even when the computer appears to be off.

If the system has a dual-colored power LED on the front panel, the sleep state is indicated by the

LED turning amber. For more information about front panel LED states, see the Intel Board D815EEA2/D815EPEA2 Technical Product Specification or Intel

Figure 3. Location of Standby Power Indicator (the D815EEA2 Board Is Shown)

CAUTION

Power supplies used with the board must provide enough standby current to support the Instantly Available (ACPI S3 sleep state) configuration. If the standby current necessary to support multiple wake events from the PCI and/or USB buses exceeds power supply capacity, the board may lose register settings stored in memory and may not awaken properly.

NOTE

✏

1.5 A of standby current is recommended. Refer to the Intel Desktop Board

D815EEA2/D815EPEA2 Technical Product Specification or Intel Desktop Board D815EFV/D815EPFV Technical Product Specification for more information.

Resume on Ring

The operation of Resume on Ring can be summarized as follows:

• Resumes operation from either the APM sleep mode or the ACPI S1 state

• Requires only one call to access the computer

• Detects incoming call similarly for external and internal modems

• Requires modem interrupt be unmasked for correct operation
