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.

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)

The optional Intel 82562ET (with the Intel 82801BA ICH2) provides a Fast PCI LAN subsystem providing both 10Base-T and 100Base-TX connectivity. The Intel 82562ET provides the following functions:

Off LAN link is not established.
On (steady state) LAN link is established.
On (brighter and pulsing) The computer is communicating with another computer on the
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 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.

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 boards 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.

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.

Connecting the IDE Cable

The Intel® boxed desktop board package includes one IDE cable. The cable is capable of connecting two drives to the desktop board, and supports the Ultra DMA-33 and ATA-66/100 transfer protocols.
NOTE
ATA-66/100 compatible cables are backward compatible with drives using slower IDE transfer protocols. If an ATA-66/100 disk drive and a disk drive using any other IDE transfer protocol are attached to the same cable, the maximum transfer rate between the drives can be reduced to that of the slowest drive.
NOTE
Do not connect an ATA device as a slave on the same IDE cable as an ATAPI master device. For example, do not connect an ATA hard drive as a slave to an ATAPI CD-ROM drive.
For the cable to function correctly:
Attach the cable end with the single connector (A), which is blue and labeled P1, to the desktop board as shown in Figure 16.
Attach the cable end with the two closely spaced connectors (B), which are gray and black and are labeled P2 and P3, to the drives.
If connecting only one IDE drive, be sure to connect the drive to the black connector (P3).

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.

Back panel connectors
Midboard connectorsAudio connectorsPower and hardware connectorsAdd-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.
