Replacing the Battery

A coin-cell battery (CR2032) powers the real-time clock and CMOS memory. When the computer is not plugged into a wall socket, the battery has an estimated life of three years. When the computer is plugged in, the standby current from the power supply extends the life of the battery. The clock is accurate to 13 minutes/year at 25 C with 3.3 VSB applied. When the voltage drops below a certain level, the BIOS Setup program settings stored in CMOS RAM (for example, the date and time) might not be accurate. Replace the battery with an equivalent one. Figure 28 on page 60 shows the location of the battery.

Figure 28. Removing the Battery
The BIOS Setup program can be used to view and change the BIOS settings for the computer. You can access the BIOS Setup program by pressing the <F2> key after the Power-On Self-Test (POST) memory test begins and before the operating system boot begins. This chapter tells you how to update the BIOS by either using the Intel Express BIOS Update utility or the Iflash Memory Update utility, and how to recover the BIOS if an update fails.
Updating the BIOS with the Intel Express BIOS Update Utility
With the Intel Express BIOS Update utility you can update the system BIOS while in the Windows environment. The BIOS file is included in an automated update utility that combines the functionality of the Intel Flash Memory Update Utility and the ease of use of Windows-based installation wizards. To update the BIOS with the Intel Express BIOS Update utility: 1. Go to the Intel World Wide Web site: http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/ 2. Navigate to the Intel Desktop Board DP45SG page, click [view] Latest BIOS updates, and select the Express BIOS Update utility file. 3. Download the file to your hard drive. (You can also save this file to a removable USB device. This is useful if you are updating the BIOS for multiple identical systems.) 4. Close all other applications. This step is required. Your system will be rebooted at the last Express BIOS Update window. 5. Double-click the executable file from the location on your hard drive where it was saved. This runs the update program. 6. Follow the instructions provided in the dialog boxes to complete the BIOS update.
Updating the BIOS with the ISO Image BIOS Update File or the Iflash Memory Update Utility
You can use the information in this section to update the BIOS using either the Iflash Memory Update Utility or the ISO Image BIOS update file.
Obtaining the BIOS Update File
You can update to a new version of the BIOS by using the ISO Image BIOS update file (recommended), or Iflash BIOS update file. The ISO Image BIOS update file is a standardized image of a bootable CD-ROM that can be used to create a bootable CD that will update the BIOS. The Iflash BIOS update file is a compressed file that contains the files you need to update the BIOS. The Iflash BIOS update file contains: New BIOS file including the Intel Management Engine (Intel ME) Firmware Image Intel Integrator Toolkit Configuration File (optional) Intel Flash Memory Update Utility
You can obtain either of these files through your computer supplier or by navigating to the Intel Desktop Board DP45SG page on the Intel World Wide Web site at: http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop Navigate to the Intel Desktop Board DP45SG page, click [view] Latest BIOS updates, and select the ISO Image BIOS Update or Iflash BIOS Update utility file.

Updating the BIOS with the ISO Image BIOS Update File
The ISO Image BIOS update allows for the update of an Intel Desktop 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.

Updating the BIOS

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.
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 that was 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 appears, press the Enter key. The system will boot from the hard drive if no key is pressed within 15 seconds. 5. At the "Welcome to the Intel Desktop Board BIOS Upgrade CD-ROM" page, press any key to confirm the BIOS upgrade operation. 6. Wait for the BIOS upgrade process to complete.
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 will automatically update your BIOS. The Iflash BIOS update files can also be extracted locally to your hard drive and copied 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
Review the instructions distributed with the update utility before attempting a BIOS update.

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 will be required. For more information about updating the Intel Desktop Board BIOS or recovering from a BIOS update failure, go to http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/sb/CS-022312.htm.

Use only the processors listed on the web site above. Use of unsupported processors can damage the board, the processor, and the power supply.

INTEGRATORS NOTE

This board has specific requirements for providing power to the processor. Refer to Section 2.5.1 on page 53 for information on power supply requirements for this board.

System Memory

1.5 V DDR3 SDRAM DIMMs with gold plated contacts, with the option to raise the voltage to support higher performance DDR3 SDRAM DIMMs Dual channel interleaved mode support Unbuffered, single-sided or double-sided DIMMs. 8 GB maximum total system memory. Refer to Section 2.1.1 on page 37 for information on the total amount of addressable memory. Minimum recommended total system memory: 256 MB Non-ECC DIMMs Serial Presence Detect DDRMHz, DDRMHz, and DDRMHz SDRAM DIMMs
The board has four DIMM sockets and supports the following memory features:
Remove the video card in the Primary PCI Express x16 before installing or upgrading memory to avoid interference with the memory retention mechanism. 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 nonSPD 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.

The minimum thermal reporting threshold for the MCH is 66 C. The MCH thermal sensor will display 66 C until the temperature rises above this point.

1.12 Power Management

Power management is implemented at several levels, including: Software support through Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) Hardware support: Power connector Fan headers LAN wake capabilities Instantly Available PC technology Wake from USB Power Management Event signal (PME#) wake-up support PCI Express WAKE# signal support

1.12.1

ACPI gives the operating system direct control over the power management and Plug and Play functions of a computer. The use of ACPI with this board requires an operating system that provides full ACPI support. ACPI features include: Plug and Play (including bus and device enumeration) Power management control of individual devices, add-in boards (some add-in boards may require an ACPI-aware driver), video displays, and hard disk drives Methods for achieving less than 15-watt system operation in the power-on/standby sleeping state A Soft-off feature that enables the operating system to power-off the computer Support for multiple wake-up events (see Table 8 on page 32) Support for a front panel power and sleep mode switch
Table 6 lists the system states based on how long the power switch is pressed, depending on how ACPI is configured with an ACPI-aware operating system. Table 6. Effects of Pressing the Power Switch
If the system is in this state Off (ACPI G2/G5 Soft off) On (ACPI G0 working state) On (ACPI G0 working state) Sleep (ACPI G1 sleeping state) Sleep (ACPI G1 sleeping state) and the power switch is pressed for Less than four seconds Less than four seconds More than six seconds Less than four seconds More than six seconds the system enters this state Power-on (ACPI G0 working state) Soft-off/Standby (ACPI G1 sleeping state) Fail safe power-off (ACPI G2/G5 Soft off) Wake-up (ACPI G0 working state) Power-off (ACPI G2/G5 Soft off)

1.12.1.1

System States and Power States
Under ACPI, the operating system directs all system and device power state transitions. The operating system puts devices in and out of low-power states based on user preferences and knowledge of how devices are being used by applications. Devices that are not being used can be turned off. The operating system uses information from applications and user settings to put the system as a whole into a low-power state.
Table 7 lists the power states supported by the board along with the associated system power targets. See the ACPI specification for a complete description of the various system and power states. Table 7. Power States and Targeted System Power
Processor Global States G0 working state G1 sleeping state Sleeping States S0 working S1 Processor stopped States C0 working C1 stop grant Device States D0 working state. D1, D2, D3 device specification specific. D3 no power except for wake-up logic. D3 no power except for wake-up logic. D3 no power except for wake-up logic. D3 no power for wake-up logic, except when provided by battery or external source. Targeted System Power (Note 1) Full power > 30 W 5 W < power < 52.5 W

S3 Suspend to RAM. Context saved to RAM. S4 Suspend to disk. Context saved to disk. S5 Soft off. Context not saved. Cold boot is required. No power to the system.

No power

Power < 5 W (Note 2)
G3 mechanical off AC power is disconnected from the computer. Notes: 1. 2.
No power to the system. Service can be performed safely.
Total system power is dependent on the system configuration, including add-in boards and peripherals powered by the system chassis power supply. Dependent on the standby power consumption of wake-up devices used in the system.

1.12.1.2

Wake-up Devices and Events
Table 8 lists the devices or specific events that can wake the computer from specific states. Table 8. Wake-up Devices and Events
These devices/events can wake up the computer LAN PME# signal Power switch RTC alarm USB WAKE# Consumer IR Note 1: Note 2: from this state S1, S3, S4, S5 S1, S3, S4, S5 S1, S3, S4, S5 S1, S3, S4, S5 S1, S3 S1, S3, S4, S5 S1, S3 (S4 and S5)(Note 2)

(Note 1) (Note 1)

For LAN and PME# signal, S5 is disabled by default in the BIOS Setup program. Setting this option to Power On will enable a wake-up event from LAN in the S5 state. Wake from S4 and S5 is optional by the specification.
The use of these wake-up events from an ACPI state requires an operating system that provides full ACPI support. In addition, software, drivers, and peripherals must fully support ACPI wake events.

1.12.2

Hardware Support
Ensure that the power supply provides adequate +5 V standby current if LAN wake capabilities and Instantly Available PC technology features are used. 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. The board provides several power management hardware features, including: Power connector Fan headers LAN wake capabilities Instantly Available PC technology Wake from USB PME# signal wake-up support WAKE# signal wake-up support Wake from Consumer IR

LAN wake capabilities and Instantly Available PC technology require power from the +5 V standby line.
The use of Wake from USB from an ACPI state requires an operating system that provides full ACPI support.

1.12.2.1

Power Connector
ATX12V-compliant power supplies can turn off the system power through system control. When an ACPI-enabled system 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 (on or off). The computers response can be set using the Last Power State feature in the BIOS Setup programs Boot menu.
For information about The location of the main power connector The signal names of the main power connector Refer to Figure 10, page 41 Table 21, page 47

1.12.2.2

Fan Headers
The function/operation of the fan headers is as follows: The fans are on when the board is in the S0 state. The fans are off when the board is off or in the S3, S4, or S5 state. The processor fan header is wired to a fan tachometer input. The front and rear fan headers each have independent tachometer input to the hardware monitoring and fan control device. All fan headers support closed-loop fan control that can adjust the fan speed according to thermal conditions. All fan headers have a +12 V DC connection.
Refer to Figure 10, page 41 Figure 6, page 28 Section 0, page 40
For information about The location of the fan headers The location of the fan headers and sensors for thermal monitoring The signal names of the fan headers

1.12.2.3

LAN Wake Capabilities
For LAN wake capabilities, the +5 V standby line for the power supply must be capable of providing adequate +5 V standby current. Failure to provide adequate standby current when implementing LAN wake capabilities can damage the power supply. LAN wake capabilities enable remote wake-up of the computer through a network. The LAN subsystem PCI bus network adapter monitors network traffic at the Media Independent Interface. Upon detecting a Magic Packet* frame, the LAN subsystem asserts a wake-up signal that powers up the computer. Depending on the LAN implementation, the board supports LAN wake capabilities with ACPI in the following ways: The PCI Express WAKE# signal The PCI bus PME# signal for PCI 2.3 compliant LAN designs By Ping Magic Packet The onboard LAN subsystem

Connectors and Headers

Only the following connectors and headers have overcurrent protection: back panel and front panel USB, as well as IEEE 1394. The other internal connectors and headers are not overcurrent protected and should connect only to devices inside the computers chassis, such as fans and internal peripherals. Do not use these connectors or headers to power devices external to the computers chassis. A fault in the load presented by the external devices could cause damage to the computer, the power cable, and the external devices themselves. Furthermore, improper connection of USB or 1394 header single wire connectors may eventually overload the overcurrent protection and cause damage to the board. This section describes the boards connectors. The connectors can be divided into these groups: Back panel I/O connectors Component-side I/O connectors and headers (see page 41)

Mechanical Considerations

Form Factor

The board is designed to fit into an ATX-form-factor chassis. Figure 15 illustrates the mechanical form factor for the board. Dimensions are given in inches [millimeters]. The outer dimensions are 11.60 inches by 9.60 inches [294.60 millimeters by 243.84 millimeters]. Location of the I/O connectors and mounting holes are in compliance with the ATX specification.
Figure 15. 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 130 W processor (see section 1.4 on page 14 for a list of supported processors), 1 GB DDR3 RAM, one high end video card, one hard disk drive, one optical drive, and all board peripherals enabled, the minimum recommended power supply is 460 W. Table 27 lists the recommended power supply current values. Table 27. Recommended Power Supply Current Values
Output Voltage Current 3.3 V 22 A 5V 20 A 12 VA 12 VA -12 V 0.3 A 5 VSB 1.5 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 28 lists the current capability of the fan headers. Table 28. Fan Header Current Capability

Fan Header

Processor fan Front chassis fan Rear chassis fan Auxiliary rear chassis fan
Maximum Available Current

2.0 A 1.5 A 1.5 A 2.0 A

Add-in Board Considerations
The board is designed to provide 2 A (average) of current for each add-in board from the +5 V rail. The total +5 V current draw for add-in boards for a fully loaded board (all seven expansion slots filled) must not exceed the systems power supply +5 V maximum current or 14 A in total.

Thermal Considerations

A chassis with a maximum internal ambient temperature of 38 oC at the processor fan inlet is a requirement. Use a processor heat sink that provides omni-directional airflow to maintain required airflow across the processor voltage regulator area.

Overview of BIOS Features

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, LAN EEPROM information, 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 SGP4510H.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 Performance Security Power Boot Exit
The maintenance menu is displayed only when the board is in configure mode. Section 2.3 on page 51 shows how to put the board in configure mode.

BIOS Error Messages

Whenever a recoverable error occurs during POST, the BIOS displays an error message describing the problem. Table 37 lists the error messages and provides a brief description of each. Table 37. 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.
