Processor
The board supports 4th generation Intel Core processors. Other processors may be
supported in the future. This board supports processors with a maximum wattage of
95 W Thermal Design Power (TDP).
NOTE
This board has specific requirements for providing power to the processor. Additional
power required will depend on configurations chosen by the integrator.
System Memory
NOTE
To be fully compliant with all applicable DDR SDRAM memory specifications, the board
should be populated with DIMMs that support the Serial Presence Detect (SPD) data
structure. This allows the BIOS to read the SPD data and program the chipset to
accurately configure memory settings for optimum performance. If non-SPD memory
is installed, the BIOS will attempt to correctly configure the memory settings, but
performance and reliability may be impacted or the DIMMs may not function under the
determined frequency.
The Desktop Board has
four
240-pin DDR3 u-DIMM sockets with gold-plated contacts.
These sockets support:
Support for DDR3 1066/1333/1600 MHz SO-DIMMs (DDR3 1333 MHz and DDR3 1600
MHz SO-DIMMs operate at 1066 MHz only)
Serial Presence Detect (SPD) memory only
Non-ECC memory
Up to 32 GB of memory

POST
OVERVIEW
When a computer is turned on, the BIOS runs a Power-On Self Test (POST). Program
execution start at memory location F000:FFF0h. This address is part of ROM BIOS and
contains a jump command to a series of BIOS routines that test and initialize the hardware
components. POST consists of various test and initialization routines for chipset’ processor
and hardware components. When all test have been performed and components have been

23
initialized, control is transferred to the INT 19h Bootstrap Loader, to load the available
operating system on the disk. During the POST period, a value form 00h through FFh is
written to the manufacturing test port (generally is I/O port 80h). These values are known as
POST Diagnostic Codes. (refer to appendix in detail)
SPLASH SCREEN
POST Logo: N/A
HOT KEY OPTIONS
Hot keys should be accepted during POST. The following Hot Keys are required at boot time.
DEL => Enter BIOS setup utility.
F7 =>Popup boot menu. The user will be presented with a list of boot options that they may
select a device to boot from (i.e., override the existing boot list for that particular boot).
BIOS WARNING EVENT LIST
Event Warning Message
POST Memory not detect Three long beep code
POST CPU fan rpm not detect Show Message “WARNING: CPU FAN Not Found. Continue after 10 seconds.”
BIOS SETUP UTILITY
During POST, the end user can press <DEL> to enter Setup and change the system parameters
originally specified in the BIOS defaults. The Setup items are described in BIOS Setup Specification.
BIOS Setup Specification for detail.
POWER MANAGEMENT
ACPI (ADVANCED CONFIGURATION AND POWER INTERFACE)
Overview
ACPI 2.0 or later compatibility.
System support Full on state (S0), Suspend to RAM (STR - S3), Hibernation/Suspend to Disk (STD S4), Soft Off (S5)

USB Keyboard/Mouse Yes No No No
RTC Yes Yes Yes Yes
Wake on LAN (WOL) Yes Yes Yes No
Power Button Yes Yes Yes Yes
PS2 Keyboard/Mouse Yes No No No

24
Power Button
In ACPI mode, Power Button switches the system from the sleeping/soft off state to the working state,
and signals the OS to transition to a sleeping state from the working state. In NON ACPI mode, Power
button is only to turn on/off system.
SUBSYSTEM ID OVERVIEW
The purpose of Subsystem Vendor ID and the Subsystem Device ID is further identifying the PCI
device. The Subsystem Vendor ID is that of the board/card manufacturer. The Subsystem Device ID is
assigned by the subsystem vendor.
For on-brand board/system, BIOS needs to configure MiTAC SVID as manufacturer ID (to identify for
DTM verification) & SSID (used project code).

DMI/SMBIOS OVERVIEW
Desktop Management Interface (DMI) / System Management BIOS (SMBIOS) is a method of
managing computers in an enterprise. The main component of DMI/SMBIOS is the Management
Information Format Database. This database contains all the information about the computing system
and its components. Using DMI/SMBIOS, a system administrator can obtain the types, capabilities,
operational status, installation date, and other information about the system components.

Battery Caution
There is insufficient space on this Desktop Board to provide instructions for replacing
and disposing of the Lithium ion coin cell battery. For system safety certification, the
statement below or an equivalent statement is required to be permanently and legibly
marked on the chassis near the battery.
A suitable caution label is included with MiTAC Desktop Board PH10LU.
CAUTION
Risk of explosion if the battery is replaced with an incorrect type. Batteries should be
recycled where possible. Disposal of used batteries must be in accordance with local
environmental regulations.
For information about replacing the battery, go to page 39.
