CAUTION
Failure to use an appropriate power supply and/or not connecting the 12 V (2 x 2 pin) power connector to the Desktop Board may result in damage to the board, or the system may not function properly.
Intel Desktop Board DH67CL supports the Intel Core i7, Intel Core i5, and Intel Core i3 processors in an LGA1155 socket. Processors are not included with the Desktop Board and must be purchased separately. The processor connects to the Desktop Board through the LGA1155 socket.

Desktop Board Features
The Intel H67 Express Chipset, consisting of the Intel H67 Platform Controller Hub (PCH), provides interfaces to the processor and the USB, SATA, LPC, audio, network, display, and PCI Express x1 interfaces. The Intel H67 PCH is a centralized controller for the board’s I/O paths.
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.
The board has four DDR3 DIMM sockets arranged in two channels and supports the following memory features:
•Two independent memory channels with interleaved mode support
•Support for non-ECC, unbuffered, single-sided or double-sided DIMMs with x8 organization and single-sided DIMMs with x16 organization
•32 GB maximum total system memory (with 4 Gb memory technology)
•Minimum total system memory: 512 MB
•Serial Presence Detect
•DDR3 1333 MHz and DDR3 1066 MHz SDRAM DIMMs
NOTE
32-bit operating systems are limited to a maximum of 4 GB of memory. These operating systems will report less than 4 GB because of the memory used by add-in graphics cards and other system resources.

The Desktop Board supports USB 3.0 and USB 2.0. USB 3.0 is supported via two USB 3.0 ports (blue) on the back panel. USB 3.0 ports are backward compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 devices. The USB 3.0 ports are SuperSpeed, high-speed, fullspeed, and low-speed capable. USB 3.0 support requires both an operating system and drivers that fully support USB 3.0 transfer rates.
There are 14 USB 2.0 ports (six ports routed to back panel connectors (black) and eight ports routed to four onboard headers). The USB 2.0 ports are high-speed, fullspeed, and low-speed capable. USB 2.0 support requires both an operating system and drivers that fully support USB 2.0 transfer rates.
Intel Desktop Board DH67CL provides two onboard 6.0 Gb/s Serial ATA (SATA) channels and two onboard 3.0 Gb/s SATA channels.
The board also provides two 3.0 Gb/s external SATA (eSATA) channels (one via an onboard connector and the other via a back panel connector).
Intel Desktop Board DH67CL provides the following connectors for system expansion:
•One PCI Express 2.0 x16 connector
•Two PCI Express 2.0 x1 connectors
•Three Conventional PCI bus connectors
19
Intel Desktop Board DH67CL Product Guide
The board’s Legacy I/O Controller provides the following legacy features:
•Low pin count (LPC) interface
•Consumer Infrared (CIR) support
•Serial IRQ interface compatible with serialized IRQ support for Conventional PCI bus systems
•Intelligent power management, including a programmable wake-up event interface
The BIOS Setup program provides configuration options for the Legacy I/O controller.
The BIOS provides the Power-On Self-Test (POST), the BIOS Setup program, and the PCI Express and SATA auto-configuration utilities. The BIOS is stored in the Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) Flash device.
The BIOS can be updated by following the instructions in Chapter 3 starting on page 61.
If you install a SATA 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 SATA device. You can override the auto-configuration options by specifying manual configuration in the BIOS Setup program.
The BIOS sets SATA to ACHI mode by default.
If you install a Conventional PCI or PCI Express 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 Conventional PCI or PCI Express add-in card.
20
Desktop Board Features
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, go to Clearing Passwords on page 53.
The hardware management features of Intel Desktop Board DH67CL enable the board to be compatible with the Wired for Management (WfM) specification. The board has several hardware management features including the following:
•Fan speed monitoring and control
•Thermal and voltage monitoring
•Chassis intrusion detection
The features of the hardware monitoring and fan speed control include:
•Smart fan control provided by the legacy I/O controller, delivering acousticallyoptimized thermal management. Fan speed controllers and sensors are integrated into the legacy I/O controller.
•Thermal sensors in the processor and Intel H67 PCH, as well as near the processor voltage regulators and system memory.
•Monitoring of system voltages to detect levels above or below acceptable values
•Thermally monitored closed-loop fan control for all fans that can adjust fan speed as needed.
Fan monitoring can be observed via the BIOS Setup program, Intel® Desktop Utilities, or third-party software.
21
Intel Desktop Board DH67CL Product Guide
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 1 for the location of the chassis intrusion header.
Power management is implemented at several levels, including software support through the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) and the following 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
•PCI Express WAKE# signal support
•Wake from CIR
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.
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 23 on page 51 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 board 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.
•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 (up to 12 V DC when using 3-wire chassis fans).
•All fan headers are controlled by Pulse Width Modulation.
•The chassis fan header supports linear fan control on 3-wire fans.
The Desktop Board has a 4-pin processor fan header and two 4-pin chassis fan headers compatible with 4-wire and 3-wire chassis fans.
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
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. 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 (the power supply is off and the front panel power LED will behave as configured by the BIOS “S3 State Indicator” option). When signaled by a wake-up device or event, the system quickly returns to its last known wake state. When signaled by a wake-up device or event, the computer quickly returns to its last known awake state.
23
Intel Desktop Board DH67CL Product Guide
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.
The use of Instantly Available PC technology requires operating system support and PCI 2.2 compliant add-in cards, PCI Express add-in cards, and drivers.
+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 green LED is lit, standby power is still present at the memory module sockets and the PCI Express connector.
