The BIOS can be updated by following the instructions on page 53 in Chapter 3.
20
Page 21
Desktop Board Features
PCI Auto Configuration
If you install a PCI add-in card 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 card. You do not need to run the BIOS Setup program after you install a PCI add-in card.
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
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.

Power Management Features
Power management is implemented at several levels, including:
• Software support through Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) and Advanced
Power Management (APM)
• Hardware support:
Suspend to RAM (Instantly Available PC technology)
Power connectors
Fan connectors
Chassis intrusion
Resume on Ring
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 & Play
functions of a computer. The use of ACPI with the desktop board requires an operating system that
provides full ACPI support.
APM
APM makes it possible for the computer to enter an energy-saving standby mode. The standby
mode can be initiated in the following ways:
• Time-out period specified in the BIOS Setup program
• From the operating system, such as the standby menu item in Windows 98SE
In standby mode, the board may reduce power consumption by spinning down hard drives, and
reducing power to or turning off of VESA* DPMS-compliant monitors. APM can be enabled or
disabled in the BIOS Setup program. While in standby mode, the system retains the ability to
respond to external interrupts and service requests, such as incoming faxes or network messages.
Any keyboard or mouse activity brings the system out of standby mode and immediately restores
power to the monitor.
Suspend to RAM (Instantly Available PC Technology)
CAUTION
For Instantly Available PC technology, the 5 V standby line for the power supply must be capable
of delivering adequate +5 V standby current. Failure to provide adequate standby current when
using this feature can damage the power supply and/or effect ACPI S3 sleep state functionality.
Instantly Available PC 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.
22
Page 23
Desktop Board Features
The desktop 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.
CR7J1
OM15682
Figure 2. Location of the Standby Power Indicator
CAUTION
Power supplies used with this desktop board must be able to provide enough standby current to
support the standard 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 desktop board may lose register settings stored in memory.

fans connected to the front and rear chassis fan connectors. The processor fan connector is not
controlled.
The fan speed control feature can be disabled in the BIOS, resulting in the chassis fans always
operating at full speed. This feature should be disabled if a self-controlled fan is attached to a
chassis fan connector.
The overall system noise reduction will vary based on system configuration and environment.
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 header on the desktop board.
Related Links:
Go to page 46 for the location of the chassis intrusion header.
Resume on Ring
The operation of Resume on Ring can be summarized as follows:
• Resumes operation from either ACPI S1 or ACPI S3 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
Wake from USB
USB bus activity wakes the computer from an ACPI S1 or S3 state.
NOTE
Wake from USB requires the use of a USB peripheral that supports Wake from USB.
Wake from PS/2 Keyboard/Mouse
PS/2 keyboard/mouse activity wakes the computer from an ACPI S1 or S3 state.
PME# Wakeup Support
When the PME# signal on the PCI bus is asserted, the computer wakes from an ACPI S1,
S3, or S5 state.

or the MS-DOS* based Iflash BIOS update utility, and how to recover the BIOS if an update fails.
Updating the BIOS with the Intel® Express BIOS
Update Utility
With the Intel Express BIOS Update utility you can update the system BIOS while in the Windows
environment. The BIOS file is included in an automated update utility that combines the
functionality of the Iflash BIOS update utility and the ease-of use of Windows-based installation
wizards.
To update the BIOS with the Intel Express BIOS Update utility:
2. Navigate to the Desktop Board D875PBZ page and click the Express BIOS Update utility file
for the Desktop Board D875PBZ BIOS.
3. Download the file to your hard drive. (You can also save this file to a diskette. This is useful if
you are updating the BIOS for multiple identical systems.)
4. Close all other applications. This step is required. Your system will be rebooted at the last
Express BIOS Update window.
5. Double-click the executable file from the location on your hard drive where it was saved. This
runs the update program.
6. Follow the instructions provided in the dialog boxes to complete the BIOS update.
53
Page 54
Intel Desktop Board D875PBZ Product Guide
Updating the BIOS with the Iflash Update Utility
With the Iflash BIOS Update utility you can update the system BIOS from a floppy disk or other
bootable media. The utility available from the Web provides a simple method for creating a
bootable flash BIOS update floppy that will automatically update your BIOS.
Obtaining the BIOS Update File
You can update to a new version of the BIOS by using the BIOS update file. The BIOS update file
is a compressed self-extracting archive that contains all the files you need to update the BIOS. The
BIOS update file contains:
• New BIOS files
• BIOS recovery files
• Iflash BIOS update utility
You can obtain the BIOS update file through your computer supplier or by navigating to the
Desktop Board D875PBZ page on the Intel World Wide Web site:
Review the instructions distributed with the update utility before attempting a BIOS update.
The Iflash BIOS update utility allows you to:
• Update the BIOS in flash memory
• Update the language section of the BIOS
Updating the BIOS
CAUTION
The AUTOEXEC.BAT file provided with the update files updates the BIOS. Do not interrupt the
process or the system may not function.
1. Boot the computer with the BIOS update diskette in drive A. During system boot, the
AUTOEXEC.BAT file provided with the update files will automatically run the BIOS update
process.
2. When the update process is complete, the monitor will display a message telling you to remove
the diskette and to reboot the system.
3. As the computer boots, check the BIOS identifier (version number) to make sure the update
was successful. If a logo appears, press <Esc> to view the POST messages.

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 (see Figure 15).
3. Remove the jumper from all pins as shown below to set recovery mode for Setup.

3
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.
6. Listen to the speaker:
• 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 a successful BIOS
recovery.
• A series of continuous beeps indicates a failed BIOS recovery.
7. If recovery fails, return to step 1 and repeat the recovery process.
8. If recovery is successful, turn off the computer, and disconnect its power cord.
9. Remove the computer cover and continue with the following steps.
10. On the jumper block, reinstall the jumper back on pins 1-2 as shown below to set normal mode
for Setup.

• Add-in board and peripheral interface 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.

Back Panel Connectors
NOTE
The line out connector, located on the back panel, is designed to power either headphones or
amplified speakers only. Poor audio quality may occur if passive (non-amplified) speakers are
connected to this output.
Figure 17 shows the back panel connectors.

A Error Messages and Indicators
Desktop Board D875PBZ reports POST errors in two ways:
• By sounding a beep code
• By displaying an error message on the monitor
BIOS Beep Codes
The BIOS beep codes are listed in Table 37. The BIOS also issues a beep code (one long tone
followed by two short tones) during POST if the video configuration fails (a faulty video card or no
card installed) or if an external ROM module does not properly checksum to zero.
Table 37. Beep Codes
Number of Beeps Description
1 Refresh failure
2 Parity cannot be reset
3 First 64 K memory failure
4 Timer not operational
5 Processor failure (Reserved; not used)
6 8042 GateA20 cannot be toggled (memory failure or not present)
7 Exception interrupt error
8 Display memory R/W error
