Intel Desktop Board DG33FB Product Guide
Hi-Speed USB 2.0 Support
The Desktop Board supports up to 12 USB 2.0 ports (six ports routed to the back panel and six ports routed to three internal headers) via the ICH9DH. USB 2.0 ports are backward compatible with USB 1.1 devices. USB 1.1 devices will function normally at USB 1.1 speeds.
USB 2.0 support requires both an operating system and drivers that fully support USB 2.0 transfer rates. Disabling Hi-Speed USB in the BIOS reverts all USB 2.0 ports to USB 1.1 operation. This may be required to accommodate operating systems that do not support USB 2.0.
Enhanced IDE Interface
The board’s IDE interface handles the exchange of information between the processor and peripheral devices such as hard disk drives and CD-ROM drives. The interface supports:
•Up to two IDE devices (such as hard drives)
•ATAPI-style devices (such as CD-ROM drives)
•Older PIO Mode devices
•Ultra DMA-33 and ATA-66/100 protocols
Serial ATA
The Desktop Board supports four Serial ATA channels (3.0 Gb/s) via ICH9DH, connecting one device per channel.
Expandability
For system expansion, the Desktop Board provides the following expansion slots:
•One PCI Express x16 connector
•Three PCI Express x1 connectors
•Three PCI bus connectors
BIOS
The BIOS provides the Power-On Self-Test (POST), the BIOS Setup program, the PCI/PCI Express and IDE auto-configuration utilities, and the video BIOS. The BIOS is stored in the Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) Flash device.
The BIOS can be updated by following the instructions on page 59 in Chapter 3.

Desktop Board Features
Serial ATA and IDE Auto Configuration
If you install a Serial ATA or IDE device (such as a hard drive) in your computer, the 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 a Serial ATA or IDE device. You can override the auto-configuration options by specifying manual configuration in the BIOS Setup program.
PCI and PCI Express* Auto Configuration
If you install a PCI/PCI Express add-in card in your computer, the PCI/PCI Express 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/PCI Express add-in card.
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 BIOS 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.

19
Intel Desktop Board DG33FB Product Guide
Hardware Monitoring and Fan Speed Control
The features of the hardware monitoring and fan speed control include:
•Monitoring of power supply voltages to detect levels above and below acceptable values
•Intel Quiet System Technology fan speed control, delivering acoustically-optimized thermal management
NOTE
Memory must be installed in the Channel A, DIMM 0 socket to enable Intel Quiet System Technology.
•Fan speed controllers and sensors integrated into the ICH9DH
•Thermal sensors in the processor, GMCH, and ICH9DH, plus an onboard remote sensor
•Thermally monitored closed-loop fan control, for all onboard fans, that can adjust fan speed or switch the fans off as needed
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. See Figure 23 for the location of the chassis intrusion header.
Power Management Features
Power management is implemented at several levels, including:
•Software support through the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI)
•Hardware support:
Power connectors
Fan headers
LAN wake capabilities
Instantly Available PC technology (Suspend to RAM)
+5 V standby power indicator LED
Wake from USB
Wake from PS/2 keyboard/mouse
Power Management Event signal (PME#) wakeup support
WAKE# signal wake-up support
•ENERGY STAR qualified
ACPI
ACPI gives the operating system direct control over the power management and Plug and Play functions of a computer. The use of ACPI with the Desktop Board requires an operating system that provides full ACPI support.
20
Desktop Board Features
Hardware Support
Power Connectors
ATX12V-compliant power supplies can turn off the computer power through system control. When an ACPI-enabled computer receives the correct command, the power supply removes all non-standby voltages.
When resuming from an AC power failure, the computer returns to the power state it was in before power was interrupted (either on or off). The computer’s response can be set by using the Last Power State feature in the BIOS Setup program’s Boot menu.
The Desktop Board has two power connectors. See Figure 26 on page 51 for the location of the power connectors.
Fan Headers
The function/operation of the fans is as follows:
•The fans are on when the computer is in the ACPI S0 state.
•The fans are off when the computer is in the ACPI S3, S4, or S5 state.
•Each fan header is wired to a tachometer input of the hardware monitoring and control device.
•All fan headers support closed-loop fan control that can adjust the fan speed or switch the fan on or off as needed.
•All fan headers have a +12 V DC connection.
The Desktop Board has a 4-pin processor fan header, and one 4-pin and two 3-pin chassis fan headers.
LAN Wake Capabilities
CAUTION
For LAN wake capabilities, 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.
LAN wakeup capabilities enable remote wake-up of the computer through a network. The LAN subsystem monitors network traffic and upon detecting a Magic Packet* frame, it asserts a wake-up signal that powers up the computer.
21
Intel Desktop Board DG33FB Product Guide
Instantly Available PC Technology
CAUTIONS
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.
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.
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. If the computer has a dual-colored power LED on the front panel, the sleep state is indicated by the LED turning amber. When signaled by a wake-up device or event, the computer quickly returns to its last known awake state.
The Desktop Board supports the PCI Bus Power Management Interface Specification. Add-in cards that support this specification can participate in power management and can be used to wake the computer.
+5 V Standby Power Indicator LED
CAUTION
If the AC power has been switched off and the standby power indicator is still lit, disconnect the power cord before installing or removing any devices connected to the board. Failure to do so could damage the board and any attached devices.
The Desktop Board’s standby power indicator, shown in Figure 3, is lit when there is standby power still present on the board even when the computer appears to be off. For example, when this LED is lit, standby power is still present at the memory module sockets and the PCI bus connectors.

Wake from USB
NOTE
Wake from USB requires the use of a USB peripheral that supports Wake from USB.
USB bus activity wakes the computer from an ACPI S3 state.
Wake from PS/2 Keyboard/Mouse
PS/2 keyboard/mouse activity wakes the computer from an ACPI S3 state.
PME# Signal Wake-up Support
When the PME# signal on the PCI bus is asserted, the computer wakes from an ACPI S3, S4, or S5 state.
WAKE# Signal Wake-up Support
When the WAKE# signal on the PCI Express bus is asserted, the computer wakes from an ACPI S2, S3, S4, or S5 state.
