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

http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop

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).

• 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

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

Replacing the Battery

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.

• Figure 23 on page 45 for the D815EEA2 and D815EPEA2 boards

• Figure 24 on page 46 for the D815EFV and D815EPFV boards

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.

Connecting the IDE Cable

The Intel® boxed desktop board package includes two IDE cables. Both are capable of connecting two drives to the desktop board. The 40-contact cable supports the Ultra DMA-33 transfer protocol. The 40-contact 80-conductor cable supports ATA-66 and ATA-100 transfer protocols and is backward compatible with drives using slower IDE 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 25.

• 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).

Updating the BIOS

Recovering the BIOS

It is unlikely that anything will interrupt the BIOS update, however, if an interruption occurs, the BIOS could be damaged. The following steps explain how to recover the BIOS if an update fails. The following procedure uses recovery mode for the Setup program. See page 48 for more information on Setup modes.

NOTE

✏

Because of the small amount of code available in the boot block area, there is no video support. You will not see anything on the screen during this procedure. Monitor the procedure by listening to the speaker and looking at the diskette drive LED.

1. Turn off the computer, disconnect the computer’s power cord, and disconnect all external peripherals.

2. Remove the computer cover and locate the configuration jumper block (J9G2) (see Figure 26).

3. Remove the jumper from all pins as shown below to set recovery mode for Setup.

4. Insert the bootable BIOS update diskette into diskette drive A.

5. Replace the computer cover, connect the power cord, turn on the computer, and allow it to boot. (The recovery process will take a few minutes. Listen to the speaker and watch for drive A activity.)

• Upon applying power, drive A will begin to show activity. In about a minute, two beeps

are heard and drive A activity ceases (temporarily) indicating the successful recovery of the BIOS core. Drive A activity will begin again followed by two more beeps indicating the successful recovery of the boot block. This sequence of events indicates that successful BIOS recovery has taken place.

• A series of continuous beeps indicates that BIOS recovery has failed.

6. If recovery fails, return to step 1 and repeat the recovery process.

7. If recovery is successful, turn off the computer, and disconnect its power cord.

8. Remove the computer cover and continue with the following steps.

9. On the jumper block (J9G2), reinstall the jumper back on pins 1-2 as shown below to set normal mode for Setup.

10. Leave the update diskette in drive A, replace the computer cover, and connect the computer’s power cord.

11. Turn on the computer and continue with the BIOS update (see page 53).

Specifies the boot sequence from the available types of boot devices. To specify boot sequence:

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.

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.

Chassis and Component Certifications

Ensure that the chassis and certain components; such as the power supply, peripheral drives, wiring, and cables; are components certified for the country or market where used. Agency certification marks on the product are proof of certification. Typical product certifications include:

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.

Regulatory Compliance
