2 Technical Reference

2.1 Memory Resources

2.1.1 Addressable Memory

The board utilizes up to 8 GB of addressable system memory. Typically the address space that is allocated for PCI Conventional bus add-in cards, PCI Express configuration space, BIOS (SPI Flash device), and chipset overhead resides above the top of DRAM (total system memory). On a system that has 8 GB of system memory installed, it is not possible to use all of the installed memory due to system address space being allocated for other system critical functions. These functions include the following:
BIOS/SPI Flash device (16 MB)
Local APIC (19 MB)
Direct Media Interface (40 MB)
PCI Express configuration space (256 MB)
SoC base address registers PCI Express ports (up to 256 MB)
Memory-mapped I/O (I/O fabric) that is dynamically allocated for PCI Express add-in cards
(256 MB)
The board provides the capability to reclaim the physical memory overlapped by the memory mapped I/O logical address space. The board remaps physical memory from the top of usable DRAM boundary to the 4 GB boundary to an equivalent sized logical address range located just above the 4 GB boundary. All installed system memory can be used when there is no overlap of system addresses.

2.2 Connectors and Headers

CAUTION
Only the following connectors and headers have overcurrent protection: back panel and front panel USB.
This section describes the board’s connectors and headers. The connectors and headers can be divided into these groups:

CAUTION
Failure to ensure appropriate airflow may result in reduced performance of both the processor and/or voltage regulator or, in some instances, damage to the board.
All responsibility for determining the adequacy of any thermal or system design remains solely with the system integrator. Intel makes no warranties or representations that merely following the instructions presented in this document will result in a system with adequate thermal performance.
CAUTION
Ensure that the ambient temperature does not exceed the board’s maximum operating temperature. Failure to do so could cause components to exceed their maximum case temperature and malfunction. For information about the maximum operating temperature, see the environmental specifications in Section 2.8.
CAUTION
The processor voltage regulator area (shown in Figure 20) can reach a temperature of up to

Table 27 provides maximum case temperatures for the components that are sensitive to thermal changes. The operating temperature, current load, or operating frequency could affect case temperatures. Maximum case temperatures are important when considering proper airflow to cool the board.
Table 27. Thermal Considerations for Components
specification updates
To ensure functionality and reliability, the component is specified for proper operation when Case Temperature is maintained at or below the maximum temperature listed in Table 28. This is a requirement for sustained power dissipation equal to Thermal Design Power (TDP is specified as the maximum sustainable power to be dissipated by the components). When the component is dissipating less than TDP, the case temperature should be below the Maximum Case Temperature. The surface temperature at the geometric center of the component corresponds to Case Temperature.
It is important to note that the temperature measurement in the system BIOS is a value reported by embedded thermal sensors in the components and does not directly correspond to the Maximum Case Temperature. The upper operating limit when monitoring this thermal sensor is Tcontrol.

3 Overview of BIOS Features

3.1 Introduction

The board uses an Intel Visual BIOS that is stored in the Serial Peripheral Interface Flash Memory (SPI Flash) and can be updated using a disk-based program. The SPI Flash contains the Visual BIOS Setup program, POST, the PCI auto-configuration utility, LAN EEPROM information, GOP (Graphics Output Protocol) video BIOS (VBIOS), and Plug and Play support. The initial production BIOSs are identified as JYGLKCPX.86A.
The Visual BIOS Setup program can be used to view and change the BIOS settings for the computer, and to update the system BIOS. The BIOS Setup program is accessed by pressing the [F2] key after the Power-On Self-Test (POST) memory test begins and before the operating system boot begins.
NOTE
The maintenance menu is displayed only when the board is in configuration mode. Section 2.3 on page 49 shows how to put the board in configuration mode.

3.2 BIOS Flash Memory Organization

The Serial Peripheral Interface Flash Memory (SPI Flash) includes a 128 Mb (16384 KB) flash memory device.

3.3 System Management BIOS (SMBIOS)

SMBIOS is a Desktop Management Interface (DMI) compliant method for managing computers in a managed network.
The main component of SMBIOS is the Management Information Format (MIF) database, which contains information about the computing system and its components. Using SMBIOS, a system administrator can obtain the system types, capabilities, operational status, and installation dates for system components. The MIF database defines the data and provides the method for accessing this information. The BIOS enables applications such as third-party management software to use SMBIOS. The BIOS stores and reports the following SMBIOS information:
BIOS data, such as the BIOS revision level
Fixed-system data, such as peripherals, serial numbers, and asset tags
Resource data, such as memory size, cache size, and processor speed
Dynamic data, such as event detection and error logging
Additional board information can be found in the BIOS under the second screen to the right of the Main BIOS page.

3.7 Boot Options

In the BIOS Setup program, the user can choose to boot from a hard drive, optical drive, removable drive, or the network. The default setting is for the optical drive to be the first boot device, the hard drive second, removable drive third, and the network fourth.
NOTE
Optical drives are not supported by the onboard SATA connectors. Optical drives are supported only via the USB interfaces.

3.7.1 Network Boot

The network can be selected as a boot device. This selection allows booting from the onboard LAN or a network add-in card with a remote boot ROM installed.
Pressing the [F12] key during POST automatically forces booting from the LAN. To use this key during POST, the User Access Level in the BIOS Setup program's Security menu must be set to Full.

3.7.2 Booting Without Attached Devices

For use in embedded applications, the BIOS has been designed so that after passing the POST, the operating system loader is invoked even if the following devices are not present:
Video adapter
Keyboard
Mouse

3.7.3 Changing the Default Boot Device During POST

Pressing the [F10] key during POST causes a boot device menu to be displayed. This menu displays the list of available boot devices. Table 31 lists the boot device menu options.

3.7.4 Power Button Menu

The Power Button Menu is accessible via the following sequence:
1. System is in S4/S5 (not G3)
2. User pushes the power button and holds it down
3. The power LED will change to its secondary color to signal the user to release the power button (approximately 3 seconds); alternately, the system will emit three short beeps from the PC speaker or headphones, if installed, then stop. Release immediately.
4. User releases the power button before the 4-second shutdown override.
If this boot path is taken, the BIOS will use default settings, ignoring settings in VPD where possible.
The BIOS will display the following prompt and wait for a keystroke:
[ESC] Normal Boot
[F2] Intel Visual BIOS
[F3] Disable Fast Boot
[F4] BIOS Recovery
[F7] Update BIOS
[F10] Enter Boot Menu
[F12] Network Boot
[F3] Disable Fast Boot is only displayed if at least one Fast Boot optimization is enabled.
If an unrecognized key is hit, then the BIOS will beep and wait for another keystroke. If one of the listed hotkeys is hit, the BIOS will follow the indicated boot path. Password requirements must still be honored.
If Disable Fast Boot is selected, the BIOS will disable all Fast Boot optimizations and reset the system.

3.8 Hard Disk Drive Password Security Feature

The Hard Disk Drive Password Security feature blocks read and write accesses to the hard disk drive until the correct password is given. Hard Disk Drive Passwords are set in BIOS SETUP and are prompted for during BIOS POST. For convenient support of S3 resume, the system BIOS will automatically unlock drives on resume from S3. Valid password characters are A-Z, a-z, and 0-9. Passwords may be up to 19 characters in length.
The User hard disk drive password, when installed, will be required upon each power-cycle until the Master Key or User hard disk drive password is submitted.
The Master Key hard disk drive password, when installed, will not lock the drive. The Master Key hard disk drive password exists as an unlock override in the event that the User hard disk drive password is forgotten. Only the installation of the User hard disk drive password will cause a hard disk to be locked upon a system power-cycle.
Table 32 shows the effects of setting the Hard Disk Drive Passwords.
Table 32. Master Key and User Hard Drive Password Functions
During every POST, if a User hard disk drive password is set, POST execution will pause with the following prompt to force the user to enter the Master Key or User hard disk drive password:
Enter Hard Disk Drive Password:
Upon successful entry of the Master Key or User hard disk drive password, the system will continue with normal POST.
If the hard disk drive password is not correctly entered, the system will go back to the above prompt. The user will have three attempts to correctly enter the hard disk drive password. After the third unsuccessful hard disk drive password attempt, the system will halt with the message:
Hard Disk Drive Password Entry Error
A manual power cycle will be required to resume system operation.
NOTE
The passwords are stored on the hard disk drive so if the drive is relocated to another computer that does not support Hard Disk Drive Password Security feature, the drive will not be accessible.

3.9 BIOS Security Features

The BIOS includes security features that restrict access to the BIOS Setup program and who can boot the computer. A supervisor password and a user password can be set for the BIOS Setup program and for booting the computer, with the following restrictions:
The supervisor password gives unrestricted access to view and change all the Setup options in the BIOS Setup program. This is the supervisor mode.
The user password gives restricted access to view and change Setup options in the BIOS Setup program. This is the user mode.
If only the supervisor password is set, pressing the <Enter> key at the password prompt of the BIOS Setup program allows the user restricted access to Setup.
If both the supervisor and user passwords are set, users can enter either the supervisor password or the user password to access Setup. Users have access to Setup respective to which password is entered.
Setting the user password restricts who can boot the computer. The password prompt will be 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, the user can enter either password to boot the computer.
For enhanced security, use different passwords for the supervisor and user passwords.
Valid password characters are A-Z, a-z, and 0-9. Passwords may be up to 20 characters in
length.
To clear a set password, enter a blank password after entering the existing password.
