System Memory
1.8 V DDR2 SDRAM DIMMs with gold plated contacts, with the option to raise the voltage to support higher performance DDR2 SDRAM DIMMs Dual channel interleaved mode support Unbuffered, single-sided or double-sided DIMMs with the following restriction: Double-sided DIMMs with x16 organization are not supported. 8 GB maximum total system memory. Refer to Section 2.1.1 on page 39 for information on the total amount of addressable memory. Minimum total system memory: 512 MB Non-ECC DIMMs Serial Presence Detect DDRMHz or DDRMHz SDRAM DIMMs DDRMHz DIMMs with SPD timings of only 5-5-5 (tCL-tRCD-tRP) DDRMHz DIMMs with SPD timings of only 5-5-5 or 6-6-6 (tCL-tRCD-tRP)
The board has two DIMM sockets and supports the following memory features:
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 enables 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.

Memory Configurations

Dual channel (Interleaved) mode. This mode offers the highest throughput for real world applications. Dual channel mode is enabled when the installed memory capacities of both DIMM channels are equal. Technology and device width can vary from one channel to the other but the installed memory capacity for each channel must be equal. If different speed DIMMs are used between channels, the slowest memory timing will be used. Single channel (Asymmetric) mode. This mode is equivalent to single channel bandwidth operation for real world applications. This mode is used when only a single DIMM is installed or the memory capacities are unequal. Technology and device width can vary from one channel to the other. If different speed DIMMs are used between channels, the slowest memory timing will be used. Flex mode. This mode provides the most flexible performance characteristics. The bottommost DRAM memory (the memory that is lowest within the system memory map) is mapped to dual channel operation; the topmost DRAM memory (the memory that is nearest to the 8 GB address space limit), if any, is mapped to single channel operation. Flex mode results in multiple zones of dual and single channel operation across the whole of DRAM memory. To use flex mode, it is necessary to populate both channels.

Memory Map

Addressable Memory

The board utilizes 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), 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 (8 Mbits) Local APIC (19 MB) Direct Media Interface (40 MB) Front side bus interrupts (17 MB) PCI Express configuration space (256 MB) GMCH base address registers, internal graphics ranges, PCI Express ports (up to 512 MB) Memory-mapped I/O that is dynamically allocated for PCI Conventional and PCI Express add-in cards Base graphics memory support (1 MB or 8 MB)

Mechanical Considerations

Form Factor

The board is designed to fit into an ATX-form-factor chassis. Figure 14 illustrates the mechanical form factor of the board. Dimensions are given in inches [millimeters]. The outer dimensions are 9.60 inches by 8.60 inches [243.84 millimeters by 218.44 millimeters]. Location of the I/O connectors and mounting holes are in compliance with the ATX specification.
Figure 14. Board Dimensions
Electrical Considerations
Power Supply Considerations
The +5 V standby line from the power supply must be capable of providing adequate +5 V standby current. Failure to do so can damage the power supply. The total amount of standby current required depends on the wake devices supported and manufacturing options. Additional power required will depend on configurations chosen by the integrator. The power supply must comply with the indicated parameters of the ATX form factor specification. The potential relation between 3.3 VDC and +5 VDC power rails The current capability of the +5 VSB line All timing parameters All voltage tolerances For example, for a system consisting of a supported 65 W processor (see Section 1.4 on page 14 for a list of supported processors), 1 GB DDR2 RAM, one hard disk drive, one optical drive, and all board peripherals enabled, the minimum recommended power supply is 300 W. Table 28 lists the recommended power supply current values. Table 28. Recommended Power Supply Current Values
Output Voltage Current 3.3 V 15 A 5V 15 A 12 VA 12 VA -12 V 0.3 A 5 VSB 3.0 A
Fan Header Current Capability
The processor fan must be connected to the processor fan header, not to a chassis fan header. Connecting the processor fan to a chassis fan header may result in onboard component damage that will halt fan operation. Table 29 lists the current capability of the fan headers. Table 29. Fan Header Current Capability

Fan Header

Processor fan Front chassis fan Rear chassis fan
Maximum Available Current

2.0 A 1.5 A 1.5 A

Add-in Board Considerations
The board is designed to provide 2 A (average) of +5 V current for each add-in board. The total +5 V current draw for add-in boards for a fully loaded board (all three expansion slots filled and the PCI Express x16 connector filled) must not exceed 8 A.

Thermal Considerations

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. For a list of chassis that have been tested with Intel desktop boards please refer to the following website: http://developer.intel.com/design/motherbd/cooling.htm All responsibility for determining the adequacy of any thermal or system design remains solely with the reader. Intel makes no warranties or representations that merely following the instructions presented in this document will result in a system with adequate thermal performance.

Introduction

The board uses an Intel 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 BIOS Setup program, POST, the PCI auto-configuration utility, and Plug and Play support. The BIOS displays a message during POST identifying the type of BIOS and a revision code. The initial production BIOSs are identified as TYG4110H.86A. When the BIOS Setup configuration jumper is set to configure mode and the computer is powered-up, the BIOS compares the CPU version and the microcode version in the BIOS and reports if the two match. The BIOS Setup program can be used to view and change the BIOS settings for the computer. 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. The menu bar is shown below. Maintenance Main Advanced Security Power Boot Exit
The maintenance menu is displayed only when the board is in configure mode. Section 2.3 on page 53 shows how to put the board in configure mode.

BIOS Flash Memory Organization
The Serial Peripheral Interface Flash Memory (SPI Flash) includes an 8 Mbit (1024 KB) flash memory device.

Resource Configuration

PCI Autoconfiguration
The BIOS can automatically configure PCI devices. PCI devices may be onboard or add-in cards. Autoconfiguration lets a user insert or remove PCI cards without having to configure the system. When a user turns on the system after adding a PCI card, the BIOS automatically configures interrupts, the I/O space, and other system resources. Any interrupts set to Available in Setup are considered to be available for use by the add-in card.

Error Messages and Beep Codes

Speaker

The board-mounted speaker provides audible error code (beep code) information during POST.
The location of the onboard speaker

Figure 1, page 11

BIOS Beep Codes
Whenever a recoverable error occurs during POST, the BIOS causes the boards speaker to beep an error message describing the problem (see Table 37). Table 37. Beep Codes
Memory error Thermal warning

Pattern

Three long beeps Four alternating beeps: High tone, low tone, high tone, low tone

Frequency

1280 Hz High tone: 2000 Hz Low tone: 1600 Hz

BIOS Error Messages

Whenever a recoverable error occurs during POST, the BIOS displays an error message describing the problem. Table 38 lists the error messages and provides a brief description of each. Table 38. BIOS Error Messages

Error Message

CMOS Battery Low CMOS Checksum Bad Memory Size Decreased No Boot Device Available

Explanation

The battery may be losing power. Replace the battery soon. The CMOS checksum is incorrect. CMOS memory may have been corrupted. Run Setup to reset values. Memory size has decreased since the last boot. If no memory was removed, then memory may be bad. System did not find a device to boot.

Port 80h POST Codes

During the POST, the BIOS generates diagnostic progress codes (POST codes) to I/O port 80h. If the POST fails, execution stops and the last POST code generated is left at port 80h. This code is useful for determining the point where an error occurred. Displaying the POST codes requires a PCI bus add-in card, often called a POST card. The POST card can decode the port and display the contents on a medium such as a seven-segment display.

1 System resources and hardware (such as PCI and PCI Express*) require physical memory address locations that can reduce available addressable system memory. This could result in a reduction of as much as 1 GB or more of physical addressable memory being available to the operating system and applications, depending on the system configuration and operating system. 2 64-bit computing on Intel architecture requires a computer system with a processor, chipset, BIOS, operating system, device drivers and applications enabled for Intel 64 architecture. Processors will not operate (including 32-bit operation) without an Intel 64 architecture-enabled BIOS. Performance will vary depending on your hardware and software configurations.
