RJ-45 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet LAN Connector LEDs LED LED Color LED State Indicates Left Green Off LAN link is not established On LAN link is established Blinking LAN activity is occurring Right N/A Off 10 Mb/s data rate Green On 100 Mb/s data rate Yellow On 1000 Mb/s data rate 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 ICH7R; 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. 16 Desktop Board Features Enhanced IDE Interface The ICH7R’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 eight Serial ATA channels via the ICH7R, connecting one device per channel in either a RAID or non-RAID configuration. Expandability The desktop board supports the following: • One PCI Express x16 add-in card • One PCI Express x4 add-in card (routed to the physical x16 connector) • One PCI Express x1 add-in card • Three PCI bus 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 and IDE auto-configuration utilities, and the video BIOS. See Chapter 3 on page 59 for more information about the BIOS. Serial ATA and IDE Auto Configuration If you install a Serial ATA or IDE device (such as a hard drive) in your desktop board, 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. When booting from a Serial ATA device, Serial ATA connector 0 is the first boot device and Serial ATA connector 3 is the last boot device by default. 17 Intel Desktop Board D955XBK Product Guide PCI and PCI Express* Auto Configuration If you install a PCI/PCI Express add-in card in your desktop board, 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 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. Related Links: For instructions on resetting the password, see Clearing Passwords on page 52. Chassis Intrusion The desktop 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 25 on page 46 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: ⎯ Fan connectors ⎯ Suspend to RAM (Instantly Available PC technology) ⎯ Resume on Ring ⎯ Wake from USB ⎯ Wake from PS/2 keyboard/mouse ⎯ PME# wakeup support 18 Desktop Board Features 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. Fan Connectors Desktop Board D955XBK has three chassis fan headers (two 3-pin and one 4-pin) and one processor fan header (4-pin). ® Fan Speed Control (Intel Precision Cooling Technology) Intel Precision Cooling Technology automatically adjusts the processor fan speed based on the processor 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) CAUTION 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. CAUTION 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. 19 Intel Desktop Board D955XBK Product Guide If the system has a dual-colored power LED on the front panel, the sleep state is indicated by the LED turning amber.

Do not interrupt the process or the system may not function. 1. Boot the computer with the BIOS update diskette in drive A. During system boot, the AUTOEXEC.BAT file provided with the update files will automatically run the BIOS update process. 2. When the update process is complete, the monitor will display a message telling you to remove the diskette and to reboot the system. 3. As the computer boots, check the BIOS identifier (version number) to make sure the update was successful. If a logo appears, press to view the POST messages. 60 BIOS Recovering the BIOS It is unlikely that anything will interrupt the BIOS update; however, if an interruption occurs, the BIOS could be damaged. The following steps explain how to recover the BIOS if an update fails. The following procedure uses recovery mode for the Setup program. See page 51 for more information on Setup modes. NOTE Because of the small amount of code available in the boot block area, there is no video support. You will not see anything on the screen during this procedure. Monitor the procedure by listening to the speaker and looking at the diskette drive LED. 1. Turn off the computer, disconnect the computer’s power cord, and disconnect all external peripherals. 2. Remove the computer cover and locate the configuration jumper block (see Figure 30). 3. Remove the jumper from all pins as shown below to set recovery mode for Setup. 3 1 4. Insert the bootable BIOS update diskette into diskette drive A. 5. Replace the computer cover, connect the power cord, turn on the computer, and allow it to boot. The recovery process will take a few minutes. 6. Listen to the speaker: • Upon applying power, drive A will begin to show activity. In about a minute, two beeps are heard and drive A activity ceases (temporarily) indicating the successful recovery of the BIOS core. Drive A activity will begin again followed by two more beeps indicating the successful recovery of the boot block. This sequence of events indicates a successful BIOS recovery. • A series of continuous beeps indicates a failed BIOS recovery. 7. If recovery fails, return to step 1 and repeat the recovery process. 8. If recovery is successful, turn off the computer, and disconnect its power cord. 9. Remove the computer cover and continue with the following steps. 10. On the jumper block, reinstall the jumper back on pins 1-2 as shown below to set normal mode for Setup. 3 1 11. Leave the update diskette in drive A, replace the computer cover, and connect the computer’s power cord. 12. Turn on the computer and continue with the BIOS update. 61 Intel Desktop Board D955XBK Product Guide 62 ® 4 Configuring for RAID (Intel Matrix Storage Technology) Requires Microsoft Windows* XP or 2000 and SATA Hard Drive(s) Configuring the BIOS for Intel Matrix Storage Technology 1.

FANTASTIC RESOURCE

One of our top priorities is maintaining our business with precision, and we are constantly looking for affiliates that can help us achieve our goal. With the aid of GID Industrial, our obsolete product management has never been more efficient. They have been a great resource to our company, and have quickly become a go-to supplier on our list!

HARD TO FIND A BETTER PROVIDER

star star star star star

Our company provides services to aid in the manufacture of technological products, such as semiconductors and flat panel displays, and often searching for distributors of obsolete product we require can waste time and money. Finding GID Industrial proved to be a great asset to our company, with cost effective solutions and superior knowledge on all of their materials, it’d be hard to find a better provider of obsolete or hard to find products.

CONSISTENTLY DELIVERS QUALITY SOLUTIONS

Over the years, the equipment used in our company becomes discontinued, but they’re still of great use to us and our customers. Once these products are no longer available through the manufacturer, finding a reliable, quick supplier is a necessity, and luckily for us, GID Industrial has provided the most trustworthy, quality solutions to our obsolete component needs.

TERRIFIC RESOURCE

This company has been a terrific help to us (I work for Trican Well Service) in sourcing the Micron Ram Memory we needed for our Siemens computers. Great service! And great pricing! I know when the product is shipping and when it will arrive, all the way through the ordering process.

When I can't find an obsolete part, I first call GID and they'll come up with my parts every time. Great customer service and follow up as well. Scott emails me from time to time to touch base and see if we're having trouble finding something.....which is often with our 25 yr old equipment.
