Hi-Speed USB 2.0 Support

NOTE

Computer systems that have an unshielded cable attached to a USB port might not meet FCC

Class B requirements, even if no device or a low-speed USB device is attached to the cable.

Use a shielded cable that meets the requirements for a full-speed USB device.

The desktop board supports up to eight USB 2.0 ports via ICH7; four ports routed to the back

panel and four routed to two internal USB 2.0 headers. USB 2.0 ports are backward compatible

with USB 1.1 devices. USB 1.1 devices will function normally at USB 1.1 speeds.

USB 2.0 support requires both an operating system and drivers that fully support USB 2.0 transfer

rates. Disabling Hi-Speed USB in the BIOS reverts all USB 2.0 ports to USB 1.1 operation. This

may be required to accommodate operating systems that do not support USB 2.0.

Enhanced IDE Interface

The ICH7’s IDE interface handles the exchange of information between the processor and

peripheral devices like hard disks, CD-ROM drives, and Iomega Zip

*

drives inside the computer.

The interface supports:

• Up to two IDE devices (such as hard drives)

• ATAPI-style devices (such as CD-ROM drives)

• Older PIO Mode devices

• Ultra DMA-33 and ATA-66/100 protocols

• Laser Servo (LS-120) drives

Serial ATA

The desktop board supports four Serial ATA channels (3.0 Gb/s) via ICH7, connecting one device

per channel.

Intel Desktop Board D945PSN Product Guide

Expandability

The desktop board supports the following:

• One PCI Express x16 add-in card

• Two PCI Express x1 add-in card

• Four PCI add-in cards

Related Links:

For information about installing the PCI Express x16 card, see page

36 in Chapter 2.

BIOS

The BIOS provides the Power-On Self-Test (POST), the BIOS Setup program, the PCI/PCI

Express and IDE auto-configuration utilities, and the video BIOS. The BIOS is stored in the Serial

Peripheral Interface (SPI) Flash or Firmware Hub.

The BIOS can be entered by pressing the <F2> key at startup. The BIOS can be updated by

following the instructions on page

53 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. A supervisor password and a user password can be set 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. The password prompt is

displayed before the computer is booted. 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, see

Clearing Passwords on page 47.

Chassis Intrusion

The board supports a chassis security feature that detects if the chassis cover has been removed.

The security feature uses a mechanical switch on the chassis that can be connected to the chassis

intrusion header on the desktop board. See

Figure 20 on page 39 for the location of the chassis

intrusion header.

Power Management Features

Power management is implemented at several levels, including:

• Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI)

• Hardware support:

⎯ Power connectors

⎯ Fan connectors

⎯ Suspend to RAM (Instantly Available PC technology)

⎯ Wake from USB

⎯ Wake from PS/2 keyboard/mouse

⎯ PME# wakeup 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 desktop board requires an operating system that

provides full ACPI support.

Power Connectors

The desktop board has three power connectors. See Figure 23 on page 44 for the location of the

power connectors.

Fan Connectors

The desktop board has a 4-pin processor fan header and two 3-pin chassis fan headers. See

Figure 22 on page 43 for the location of the fan headers.

Fan Speed Control (Intel

®

Precision Cooling Technology)

Intel Precision Cooling Technology automatically adjusts the processor fan speed based on the

processor thermal diode temperature and adjusts the chassis fan speeds depending on the system

temperature. System fan noise may be reduced by operating controlled chassis and processor fans

at the minimum necessary speeds.

The processor and chassis fan speed control features can be disabled independently through the

desktop board BIOS. Disabling the processor fan speed control will result in the fan operating at

full speed if it is not a self controlled fan. It is recommended that processor fan speed control

remain enabled (default BIOS setting) when using the processor fan heat-sink included with Intel

boxed processors. Disabling the chassis fan speed control results in chassis fans always operating

at full speed. The chassis fan speed control feature should be disabled if a self-controlled chassis

fan is attached to any controlled chassis fan header.

The overall system noise reduction will vary based on system configuration and environment.

Suspend to RAM (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 desktop 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 power

supply capacity, the desktop board may lose register settings stored in memory.

Instantly Available PC technology enables the board to enter the ACPI S3 (Suspend-to-RAM) sleep

state. While in the S3 sleep state, the computer will appear to be off. When signaled by a wake-up

device or event, the system quickly returns to its last known awake state.

The desktop board’s standby power indicator, shown in

Figure 3, is lit when there is standby power

to the system. This includes the memory modules and PCI bus connectors, even when the

computer appears to be off.

If the system has a dual-colored power LED on the front panel, the sleep state is indicated by the

LED turning amber.
