Processor

The board supports 6th generation Intel Core processors. Other processors may be

supported in the future. This board supports processors with a maximum wattage of

91 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

1.1 Major Sub-systems

1.1.1 System Memory

Board must support the following memory configurations. .

• DDR4/-RS 1866MHz to 2133MHz or maximum multiplier supported by the CPU
o Board must support all DIMMs in this range

• 4Gb, 8Gb and 16Gb technology (and any others supported by the processor)

• Extended Memory Profiles (XMP) support

• Single-sided and double-sided memory module support

• Support for 1.2V (standard voltage) JEDEC-compliant memory

• Support for dual-channel interleaved mode

• 32GB maximum memory with 4 DIMMs

•

DIMM connectors must be color coded as follows; refer to Figure 1:

• DIMM 1, DIMM 2 for channels A must be black with black latches

• DIMM 3, DIMM 4 for channels B must be black with black latches

Note: Channel A, DIMM0 must be closest to the CPU.

1.1.2 External Graphics

Board must support single primary PCIe x16 external graphics

o

Note: External graphics cards must also be supported on all PCI Express and PCI slot(s), if available.

System must be compatible with cards with and without ASPM support. BIOS must auto-detect if the
card supports ASPM. Refer to the BIOS Requirements Document for implementation details.

Figure 1: H110 2xDIMMs Connector Layout

1.1.3 Onboard Graphics

Board must support all integrated graphics features supported by the processor through the PCH (including
but not limited to DirectX, HD/Blu-ray video hardware decoding, PAVP-Lite and HDCP).

The processor will continue to support Silent stream. Silent stream is an integrated audio feature that enables
short audio streams, such as system events to be heard over the HDMI* and DisplayPort* monitors. The
processor supports silent streams over the HDMI and DisplayPort interfaces at 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, 88.2 kHz, 96
kHz, 176.4 kHz, and 192 kHz sampling rates.

Notes:

1. Maximum resolution is based on implementation of 4 lanes with HBR2 link data rate.

2. bpp - bit per pixel.

3. S-processor line support up to 4 displays but only three can be active at the same time.

The following onboard graphics connectors must be supported when onboard graphics is enabled.

HD feature: High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI*)

• HD – HDMI1.4 flush mount graphics connector: backpanel video

•

• The High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI*) is provided for transmitting uncompressed digital audio

and video signals from DVD players, set-top boxes, and other audio-visual sources to television sets,
projectors, and other video displays. It can carry high-quality multi-channel audio data and all standard and
high-definition consumer electronics video formats. The HDMI display interface connecting the processor
and display devices uses transition minimized differential signaling (TMDS) to carry audiovisual
information through the same HDMI cable.

•

• HDMI includes three separate communications channels: TMDS, DDC, and the optional CEC (consumer

electronics control). CEC is not supported on the processor. As shown in the following figure, the HDMI
cable carries four differential pairs that make up the TMDS data and clock channels. These channels are
used to carry video, audio, and auxiliary data. In addition, HDMI carries a VESA DDC. The DDC is used by
an HDMI Source to determine the capabilities and characteristics of the Sink.

•

• Audio, video, and auxiliary (control/status) data is transmitted across the three TMDS data channels. The

video pixel clock is transmitted on the TMDS clock channel and is used by the receiver for data recovery
on the three data channels. The digital display data signals driven natively through the PCH are AC
coupled and needs level shifting to convert the AC coupled signals to the HDMI compliant digital signals.

•

• The processor HDMI interface is designed in accordance with the High-Definition Multimedia Interface.

•

•

DisplayPort* feature

• Display Port: backpanel video (with embedded audio) connector for digital display support up to max
resolution allowed by the processor/PCH. Design must be Display Port v1.2 compliant and support the
following features:

•

•

o Hot-plug detect
o Display Port Interoperability - to allow use of a Display Port to DVI or Display Port to HDMI dongles as

described in the Shark Bay Platform Design Guide

o

o

Hardware Accelerated Video Processing

There is hardware support for image processing functions such as De-interlacing, Film cadence detection,

Advanced Video Scaler (AVS), detail enhancement, image stabilization, gamut compression, HD adaptive
contrast enhancement, skin tone enhancement, total color control, Chroma de-noise, SFC pipe (Scalar

and Format Conversion), memory compression, Localized Adaptive Contrast Enhancement (LACE),
spatial de-noise, Out-Of-Loop De-blocking (from AVC decoder), 16 bpc support for denoise/ de-mosaic.

There is support for Hardware assisted Motion Estimation engine for AVC/MPEG2 encode, True Motion, and

Image stabilization applications.

The HW video processing is exposed by the graphics driver using the following APIs:

• Direct3D* 9 Video API (DXVA2).

• Direct3D 11 Video API.

• Intel Media SDK.

• MFT (Media Foundation Transform) filters.

• Intel CUI SDK.

1.1.4 Audio

High Definition audio using 5+2 channel codec, supporting:
Implemented using the Realtek ALC662

• 3-port analog audio stack back panel connector

Board must support 3-channel audio output from the rear analog ports, with jack detection as indicated in
Table 1. An additional 2-channel analog port is required for front panel audio, with jack detection and
independent multi-streaming support for separate front vs back panel audio streams (i.e. simultaneous VoIP
and 8.1/10 audio streams).

Table 1: Backpanel and headphone/mic front panel audio port assignments

Front panel audio header must be 2x5, 2.54mm pitch, colored yellow (Pantone color code 123C) and keyed at
pin 8, as shown in Figure 2. It must be designed and validated to support both HD Audio and passive AC’97
front panel devices (AUD_5V on pin-7 is not used on passive AC’97 implementations). Passive AC'97 support
is required due to the expected large number of chassis with legacy AC'97 front panel ports. BIOS must have
the option to auto detect the front panel and provide option to enable/disable it. Connector must be shrouded.
