N/A Off 10 Mb/s data rate Green On 100 Mb/s data rate Yellow On 1000 Mb/s data rate

Hi-Speed USB 2.0 Support

The Desktop Board supports up to 10 USB 2.0 ports (six ports routed to the back panel and four ports routed to two internal headers) via ICH10R. 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.

Desktop Board Features

Serial ATA

The Desktop Board supports five Serial ATA channels (3.0 Gb/s) via ICH10R, connecting one device per channel. One channel is configured as an eSATA channel.

Serial ATA RAID

The ICH10R supports Intel® Matrix Storage Technology which enables the following RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Drives) levels:

• RAID 0 - data striping

• RAID 1 - data mirroring

• RAID 0+1 (or RAID 10) - data striping and mirroring

• RAID 5 - distributed parity

For information on configuring your system for RAID using Intel Matrix Storage Technology see Chapter 4.

Intel® Rapid Recover Technology (Intel® RRT)

The Desktop Board incorporates Intel Rapid Recover Technology which enables fast and easy recovery of your data in the event of a hard drive failure. It allows you to maintain a complete copy of your primary or master drive onto a second hard drive, the recovery drive. If the master hard drive should fail, either from a mechanical failure or the result of a virus, recovery is as simple as booting from the recovery drive. The recovery drive can be attached to your system via any standard SATA or eSATA connection.

Intel Rapid Recover Technology also provides the added benefit of allowing the recovery drive to be mounted as a read-only volume so you can quickly copy files from the recovery drive when individual files need to be recovered.

For information on configuring your system for Intel Rapid Recover Technology see Chapter 5.

Expandability

For system expansion, the Desktop Board provides one PCI Express 1.1 x1 connector.

Intel Desktop Board DG45FC Product Guide

BIOS

The BIOS provides the Power-On Self-Test (POST), the BIOS Setup program, the PCI Express and SATA 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 55 in Chapter 3.

Serial ATA Auto Configuration

If you install a Serial ATA device (such as a hard drive) in your computer, the autoconfiguration 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 device. You can override the auto-configuration options by specifying manual configuration in the BIOS Setup program.

PCI Express* Auto Configuration

If you install a PCI Express add-in card in your computer, the PCI Express autoconfiguration 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 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.

For instructions on resetting the password, see Clearing Passwords on page 49.

Intel Desktop Board DG45FC Product Guide

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# signal wake-up support

⎯ Wake from Consumer IR

• 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.

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 20 on page 47 for the location of the power connectors.

Desktop Board Features

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.

• All fan headers support closed-loop fan control that can adjust the fan speed based

on thermal conditions.

• All fan headers have a +12 V DC connection. The Desktop Board has a 4-pin processor fan header and a 3-pin chassis fan header.

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.

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 Express 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-toRAM) 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.

Intel Desktop Board DG45FC Product Guide

+5 V Standby Power Indicator

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 green LED is lit, standby power is still present at the memory module sockets and the PCI Express bus connector.

3 Updating the BIOS

The BIOS Setup program can be used to view and change the BIOS settings for the computer. You can access the BIOS Setup program by pressing the <F2> key after the Power-On Self-Test (POST) memory test begins and before the operating system boot begins.

This chapter tells you how to update the BIOS by either using the Intel Express BIOS Update utility or the Iflash Memory 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 Intel of use of Windows-based installation wizards.

Flash Memory Update Utility and the ease

To update the BIOS with the Intel Express BIOS Update utility:

1. Go to the Intel World Wide Web site:

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

2. Navigate to the DG45FC page. Under the “Software and drivers” heading, click on

“Latest BIOS” to locate the latest BIOS files. Click on the “BIOS Update” link and

select the Express BIOS Update file.

3. Download the file to your hard drive. (You can also save this file to a removable

USB device. 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.

Intel Desktop Board DG45FC Product Guide

Updating the BIOS with the ISO Image BIOS Update File or the Iflash Memory Update Utility

You can use the information in this section to update the BIOS using either the Iflash Memory Update Utility or the ISO Image BIOS update file.

Obtaining the BIOS Update File

You can update to a new version of the BIOS by using the ISO Image BIOS update file (recommended), or Iflash BIOS update file.

The ISO Image BIOS update file is a standardized image of a bootable CD-ROM that can be used to create a bootable CD that will update the BIOS.

The Iflash BIOS update file is a compressed file that contains the files you need to update the BIOS. The Iflash BIOS update file contains:

• New BIOS file (including the Intel

Image))

• Intel

• Intel Flash Memory Update Utility

You can obtain either of these files through your computer supplier or by navigating to the Desktop Board DG45FC page on the Intel World Wide Web site at

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

Updating the BIOS with the ISO Image BIOS Update File

The ISO Image BIOS update allows for the update of an Intel® Desktop Board BIOS to the latest production release regardless of the operating system installed on the computer's hard drive and without the need to remove the BIOS configuration jumper. It requires a blank CD-R, a read/writeable CD drive, and software capable of uncompressing and writing the ISO image file to CD.

The image uses ISOLINUX* bootloader and automatically launches a script to upgrade the BIOS via the Iflash utility.

Updating the BIOS

CAUTION

Do not interrupt the process or the system may not function properly.

Follow these instructions to upgrade the BIOS using the ISO Image BIOS file:

1. Download the ISO Image BIOS file.

2. Using software capable of uncompressing and writing an ISO image file to CD, burn

the data to a blank CD.

NOTE

Copying the ISO Image BIOS file to CD will not work. The completed CD should contain multiple files and a directory.

3. Insert the CD that was created in the CD-ROM drive of the computer to be

upgraded and boot the system.

4. When the "Press ENTER to continue booting from CD-ROM" prompt appears, press

the Enter key. The system will boot from the hard drive if no key is pressed within

15 seconds.

5. At the "Welcome to the Intel Desktop Board BIOS Upgrade CD-ROM" page, press

any key to confirm the BIOS upgrade operation.

6. Wait for the BIOS upgrade process to complete.

CAUTION

DO NOT POWER DOWN YOUR COMPUTER before the update is complete. The update may take up to 5 minutes.

Updating the BIOS with the Iflash Memory Update Utility

With the Iflash Memory update utility you can update the system BIOS from a bootable CD-ROM, bootable USB flash drive, or other bootable USB media. The utility available on the Intel World Wide Web site provides a simple method for creating a bootable CD-ROM that will automatically update your BIOS. The Iflash BIOS update files can also be extracted locally to your hard drive and copied to a bootable USB flash drive or other bootable USB media.

The Iflash Memory update utility allows you to:

• Update the BIOS and Intel Management Engine in flash memory

• Update the language section of the BIOS

NOTE

Review the instructions distributed with the update utility before attempting a BIOS update.

Intel Desktop Board DG45FC Product Guide

CAUTION

Do not interrupt the process or the system may not function properly.

1. Uncompress the BIOS update file and copy the .BIO file, IFLASH.EXE, and .ITK file

(optional) to a bootable USB flash drive or other bootable USB media.

2. Configure the BIOS or use the F10 option during POST to boot to the USB device.

3. Manually run the IFLASH.EXE file from the USB device and manually update 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. Due to BIOS size and recovery requirements, a CD-R with the .BIO file in the root directory will be required.

Intel Desktop Board DG45FC Product Guide

Lead-free 2LI/Pb-free 2LI Board

The electronics industry is transitioning to European Union (EU) Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS)-compliant products. The RoHS legislation restricts the use of six materials. One of these restricted materials is lead. Lead is the most common and problematic of the RoHS restricted materials.

There are exemptions in RoHS that allow the use of lead in some very limited locations in electronic products. Maximum lead concentration values have been established for RoHS-compliant electronic products that allow up to 1000 ppm of lead.

Lead-free/Pb-free is a nickname that is often used (or misused) for RoHS-compliant products. In this case, the term "Lead-free/Pb-free" means that lead has been removed where required by the RoHS legislation but still may exist as an impurity below 1000 ppm.

The term "Lead-free 2LI/Pb-free 2LI" means lead-free second level interconnect (2LI). The balls, leads, or pads used to connect the component to a printed circuit board are lead-free, but the first level interconnect (FLI) is not lead-free. The use of lead in the FLI is acceptable because of the RoHS "flip chip" or "die bump" interconnect exemption.

Desktop Board DG45FC is a lead-free second level interconnect product. Table 17 shows the lead-free second level interconnect marks as they appear on the board and accompanying collateral. These marks are based on JEDEC standard J-STD-609, “Marking and Labeling of Components, PCBs and PCBAs to Identify Lead, Lead Free and Other Attributes.”

For more information concerning Intel’s lead-free initiatives, refer to

http://intel.com/technology/silicon/leadfree.htm

Table 17. Lead-Free Second Level Interconnect Marks

Description Mark

This symbol is used to identify electrical and electronic assemblies and components in which the Pb concentration level in the Desktop Board substrate and the solder connections from the board to the components (second-level interconnect) is not greater than 0.1% by weight (1000 ppm).

Regulatory Compliance

Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS)

• Lead

• Mercury

• Cadmium

• Hexavalent chromium

• Polybrominated biphenyls (PBB)

• Polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE)

The maximum concentrations allowed are 0.1% or 1000 ppm (except for cadmium, which is limited to 0.01% or 100 ppm) by weight of homogeneous material.

Desktop Board DG45FC complies with these restrictions.

China RoHS

“China RoHS” is the term used by industry generally to describe legislation implemented by the Ministry of Information Industry (MII) in the People's Republic of China for the control of pollution by electronic information products (EIP). The official title of the China RoHS regulation is “Management Methods for Controlling Pollution by Electronic Information Products.”

China RoHS bans the same substances and has the same limits as EU RoHS. However, the China RoHS regulation requires specific product marking and a selfdeclaration of the controlled substances contained in each product.

Desktop Board DG45FC is a China RoHS-compliant product. The required China RoHS mark indicates the product’s Environmental Friendly Usage

Period (EFUP). The EFUP is defined as the number of years for which listed controlled substances will not leak or chemically deteriorate while in the product. The EFUP for Intel Desktop Boards has been determined to be 10 years.

The EFUP for Desktop Board DG45FC is shown in Table 18.

Korean Class B statement translation: This is household equipment that is certified to comply with EMC requirements. You may use this equipment in residential environments and other non-residential environments.

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.

Pay close attention to the following when reading the installation instructions for the host chassis, power supply, and other modules:

• 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 may be required on a representative sample of the newly completed computer.
