Intel® Workstation Board WX58BP Product Guide

BIOS

The BIOS provides the Power-On Self-Test (POST), BIOS Setup program, and PCI/PCI Express* and IDE auto-configuration utilities. The BIOS is stored in the Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) Flash device.

You can update the BIOS by following the instructions on page 58 in Chapter 3.

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. You can set a supervisor password and a user password 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. Before the computer

boots, the password prompt displays. 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, refer to “Clearing Passwords” on page 52.

Board Features

Hardware Management

The hardware management features of Intel® Workstation Board WX58BP 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

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

 A thermal sensor in the processor  Thermally monitored closed-loop fan control for all onboard fans that can adjust fan

Precision Cooling Technology fan speed control, delivering acoustically-

optimized thermal management

speed

Intel® Precision Cooling Technology

Intel Precision Cooling Technology automatically adjusts processor fan speed based on the processor temperature and adjusts chassis fan speeds based on the internal system temperature.

Chassis Intrusion

The board supports a chassis security feature that detects if the chassis cover is removed. The security feature uses a mechanical switch on the chassis that can be connected to the chassis intrusion header on the Board. See Figure 23 for the location of the chassis intrusion header.

Power Management

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  Power Management Event signal (PME#) wakeup support  WAKE# signal wake-up support

Intel® Workstation Board WX58BP Product Guide

 ENERGY STAR capable

Software Support

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 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). You can set the computer’s response by using the Last Power State feature in the BIOS Setup program’s Boot menu.

The Board has three power connectors. See Figure 26 on page 50 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 Board has a 4-pin processor fan header, one 4-pin and two 3-pin chassis fan

headers, and one 3-pin IOH 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 affect ACPI S3 sleep state functionality.

Power supplies used with this 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 the power supply’s capacity, the 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 appears to be turned-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 Workstation 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

CAUTION

If the AC power was 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 Workstation 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.

Figure 3. Location of the Standby Power Indicator

For more information on standby current requirements for the Board, refer to the Technical Product Specification at http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/

Wake from USB

NOTE

Wake from USB requires the use of a USB peripheral that supports Wake from USB and an operating system that supports Wake from USB.

USB bus 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 S1, S3, S4, or S5 state.

Board Features

WAKE# Signal Wake-up Support

When the WAKE# signal on the PCI Express bus is asserted, the computer wakes from an ACPI S1, S3, S4, or S5 state.

ENERGY STAR* Capable

Updating the BIOS with the ISO Image BIOS Update File

The ISO Image BIOS update allows for the update of an Intel® Workstation 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.

Intel® Workstation Board WX58BP Product Guide

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 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 displays, press

the Enter key. The system boots from the hard drive if no key is pressed within 15 seconds.

5. At the "Welcome to the Intel

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 automatically updates your BIOS. You can also extract the Iflash BIOS update files locally to your hard drive and copy them 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

Before attempting a BIOS update, review the instructions distributed with the update utility.

Updating the BIOS

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 is required.
