PREFACE
This document is an update to the specifications contained in the
Product Specification
(Order number C88966). It is intended for hardware system manufacturers and
software developers of applications, operating systems, or tools. It will contain Specification Changes, Errata,
Specification Clarifications, and Documentation Changes.

Refer to the
Pentium® 4 Processor Specification Update
updates concerning the Intel Pentium 4 processor and that may apply to the desktop board D910GLDW .
Unless otherwise noted in this document, it should be assumed that any processor errata for a given stepping
are applicable to the Altered Assembly (AA) revision(s) associated with that stepping.

Refer to the
IO Controller Hub 6 (ICH6) Family Specification Update
specification updates concerning the 82801ER I/O Controller Hub and that may apply to the desktop board

given stepping are applicable to the Altered Assembly (AA) revision(s) associated with that stepping.
Nomenclature
Specification Changes are modifications to the current published specifications. These changes will be
incorporated in the next release of the specifications.
Errata are design defects or errors. Characterized errata may cause the desktop board D910GLDW’s
behavior to deviate from published specifications. Hardware and software designed to be used with any
given Altered Assembly (AA) and BIOS revision level must assume that all errata documented for that AA
and BIOS revision level are present on all desktop boards.
Specification Clarifications describe a specification in greater detail or further highlight a specification’s
impact to a complex design situation. These clarifications will be incorporated in the next release of the
specifications.
Documentation Changes include typos, errors, or omissions from the current published specifications.
These changes will be incorporated in the next release of the specifications.

Summary Table of Changes
The following table indicates the Specification Changes, Errata, Specification Clarifications, or Documentation
Changes that apply to the Intel
®
Desktop Board D910GLDW. Intel intends to fix some of the errata in a future
revision of the desktop board, and to account for the other outstanding issues through documentation or
specification changes as noted. This table uses the following notations:
CODES USED IN SUMMARY TABLE
Doc: Document change or update that will be implemented.
Plan Fix: This erratum may be fixed in a future revision of the desktop board, driver, or
BIOS.
Fixed: This erratum has been previously fixed.
No Fix: There are no plans to fix this erratum.
Shaded: This erratum is either new or modified from the previous version of the document.
NO. PLANS ERRATA
1 Plan Fix The IEEE-1394a interface may lose link connection when transferring files from some
IEEE-1394a DVD/CD-ROM devices
2 Plan Fix Wake On LAN may not function after loss and restore of AC power

ERRATA
1. The IEEE-1394a Interface May Lose Link Connection When
Transferring Files From Some IEEE-1394a DVD/CD-ROM Devices
PROBLEM: PCI frequency noise between GND and the IEEE-1394a analog ground (AGND), in excess of 1V
peak to peak, has been measured when transferring files from an IEEE-1394a DVD/CD-ROM device and an
IDE Hard Disk Drive. The presence of this noise causes an IEEE-1394a link drop off with certain IEEE-1394a
DVD/CD-ROM devices.
IMPLICATION: Users may experience the IEEE-1394a link drop when transferring files from some
IEEE-1394a DVD/CD-ROM devices. This failure has been observed with a very limited number of
IEEE-1394a DVD/CD-ROM devices. The failure is masked when the system is configured with a minimum of
two PCI cards. This failure is considered a low risk.
WORKAROUND: None.
STATUS: This erratum may be fixed in a future hardware revision.
2. Wake On LAN May Not Function After Loss and Restore of AC
Power
PROBLEM: If AC power is removed, Wake On LAN may not function until the LAN circuit is re-initialized.
The sequence of events is as follows:
• AC power removed (AC power cord disconnected, for example)
• AC power restored. +5V Standby voltage is re-applied to the board
• Wake On LAN may not be functional
• Switch power on
• Switch power off to put system back into Standby mode (S5 state)
• Wake On LAN functionality restored
IMPLICATION: Wake on LAN will not function if AC power is interrupted.
WORKAROUND: In the BIOS Setup program, set After Power Failure to “Power On” in the Power Menu.
STATUS: This erratum may be fixed in a future BIOS revision.

1. Incorrect Operating Voltage Listed for Supported Memory in
Section 1.5, System Memory
Section 1.5, page 15, incorrectly lists the operating voltage for supported memory as 2.5 V. The correct
operating voltage is 2.6 V. The first item in the bulleted list in Section 1.5 will be replaced with the following:
• 2.6 V (only) DDR SDRAM DIMMs with gold-plated contacts
