Desktop Board Features

Main Memory

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 at 100 MHz.

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 board supports memory as defined below:

• Two 3.3 V, 168-pin SDRAM Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMMs) with gold-plated

contacts

• Unbuffered single or double-sided DIMM configurations

• 100 MHz PC100 SDRAM (all FSB frequencies)

• 133 MHz PC133 SDRAM (only supported with 133 MHz system bus frequency)

• Minimum system memory: 64 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 press <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.”

• Basic non-SPD at 100 MHz

• Suspend to RAM support

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

Intel Desktop Board D815EGEW Product Guide

The board supports the processor and memory module combinations shown in Table 3.

Table 3. Processor and Memory Module Combinations

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

Desktop Board Features

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 auto-configuration 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

LAN Subsystem (Optional)

LAN.

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).

Battery

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

 S5 wake on PCI bus connector 2 only  Wake from USB (see page 35 for information on how to set the jumper blocks)  Wake from keyboard/mouse (see page 35 for information on how to set the jumper blocks)  Wake on PME  Resume on Ring

Desktop Board Features

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

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 using this feature can damage the power supply and/or affect ACPI S3 sleep state functionality.

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 board’s standby power indicator, shown in Figure 2, is lit when there is standby power to the system. This includes the memory modules and PCI bus connectors 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.

Intel Desktop Board D815EGEW Product Guide

OM12725

Figure 2. Location of the Standby Power Indicator

Power supplies used with this board must be able to provide enough standby current to support the standard Instantly Available (ACPI S3 sleep state) configuration as outlined in Table 5. Values are determined by specifications such as PCI 2.2. Actual measurements may vary.

To estimate the total amount of standby current required for a particular system configuration, standby current requirements of all installed components must be added. Refer to the descriptions in Table 5 and follow the steps outlined below:

1. Note the total D815EGEW board standby current requirement.

2. Add to that the total PS/2 port standby current requirement if a wake-enabled device is connected.

3. Add, from the PCI 2.2 slots (wake-enabled) row, the total of the number of wake-enabled devices installed (PCI) multiplied by the standby current requirement.

4. Add, from the PCI 2.2 slots (nonwake-enabled) row, the total of the number of wake-enabled

devices installed (PCI) multiplied by the standby current requirement.

5. Add all additional wake-enabled devices’ and nonwake-enabled devices’ standby current requirements as applicable.

6. Add all the required current totals from steps 1 through 5 to determine the total estimated standby current power supply requirement.

1. Select the boot device with <↑> or <↓>.

2. Press <Enter> to set the selection as the intended boot device.

The operating system assigns a drive letter to each boot device in the order listed. Changing the order of the devices changes the drive lettering. The default settings for the first through final boot devices are, respectively listed below. The BIOS supports up to sixteen total boot devices in any combination of the boot device types below, with respect to these maximums per type.

• Removable Device (maximum of four)

• Hard Drive (maximum of 12)

• ATAPI CD-ROM (maximum of four)

• Intel UNDI, PXE (maximum of five)

The boot devices appear in order by type. For example, assume that the default boot order is preserved and that seven boot devices of the following types are installed on the system: two removable devices, two hard drives, two ATAPI CD-ROMs, and an Intel UNDI (Universal Network Device Interface), PXE device. Both removable devices would appear as the first and second boot devices, the two hard drives would appear as the third and fourth, the two ATAPI CD-ROM drives would appear as the fifth and sixth, and the Intel UNDI, PXE device would appear as the seventh boot device.

Board Connectors

The board connectors can be divided into three groups:

• Back panel connectors

• Midboard connectors  Audio connectors  Power and hardware connectors  Add-in board and peripheral interface connectors

• Front panel connectors

CAUTION

Many of the midboard and front panel connectors provide operating voltage (+5 V dc and +12 V dc, for example) to devices inside the computer chassis, such as fans and internal peripherals. These connectors are not overcurrent protected. Do not use these connectors for powering devices external to the computer chassis. A fault in the load presented by the external devices could cause damage to the computer, the interconnecting cable, and the external devices themselves.

• Damage to wires that could cause a short circuit

Observe all warnings and cautions that instruct you to refer computer servicing to qualified technical personnel.

Installation Instructions

CAUTION

Follow these guidelines to meet safety and regulatory requirements when installing this board assembly.

Read and adhere to all of these instructions and the instructions supplied with the chassis and associated modules. If the instructions for the chassis are inconsistent with these instructions or the instructions for associated modules, contact the supplier’s technical support to find out how you can ensure that your computer meets safety and regulatory requirements. If you do not follow these instructions and the instructions provided by chassis and module suppliers, you increase safety risk and the possibility of noncompliance with regional laws and regulations.

Ensure Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Compliance

Before computer integration, make sure that the power supply and other modules or peripherals, as applicable, have passed Class B EMC testing and are marked accordingly.

In the installation instructions for the host chassis, power supply, and other modules pay close attention to the following:

• Product certifications or lack of certifications

• External I/O cable shielding and filtering

• Mounting, grounding, and bonding requirements

• Keying connectors when mating the wrong connectors could be hazardous

If the power supply and other modules or peripherals, as applicable, are not Class B EMC compliant before integration, then EMC testing is required on a representative sample of the newly completed computer.

In Europe

The CE marking signifies compliance with all applicable European requirements. If the chassis and other components are not properly CE marked, a supplier’s Declaration of Conformity statement to the European EMC directive and Low Voltage directive (as applicable), should be obtained. Additionally, other directives, such as the Radio and Telecommunications Terminal Equipment (R&TTE) directive may also apply depending on product features.

In the United States

A certification mark by a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL) such as UL, CSA, or ETL signifies compliance with safety requirements. Wiring and cables must also be UL listed or recognized and suitable for the intended use. The FCC Class B logo for home or office use signifies compliance with electromagnetic interference (EMI) requirements.

In Canada

A nationally recognized certification mark such as CSA or cUL signifies compliance with safety requirements. The Industry Canada statement at the front of this product guide demonstrates compliance with Canadian EMC regulations. Industry Canada recognizes and accepts FCC certification as denoting compliance with national electromagnetic interference (emissions) requirements.

Prevent Power Supply Overload

Do not overload the power supply output. To avoid overloading the power supply, make sure that the calculated total current loads of all the modules within the computer is less than the output current rating of each of the power supplies output circuits.

Place Battery Marking

There is insufficient space on this desktop board to provide instructions for replacing and disposing of the Lithium ion coin cell battery. For system safety certification, the following statement or equivalent statement is required to be permanently and legibly marked on the chassis near the battery.

CAUTION

Risk of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.

Replace with only the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
