USB 2.0 Support

The Desktop Board supports up to eight USB 2.0 ports (four ports routed to the back
panel and four ports routed to two front panel USB 2.0 headers). The USB 2.0 ports
are 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 High-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.
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.
SATA Interface
The Desktop Board supports two SATA channels (3.0 Gb/s) that support one device
per channel. The SATA controller supports IDE and ACHI configuration and can
operate in both legacy and native modes.
Expandability
The Desktop Board provides PCI bus connector. The connector can support either a
single PCI add-in card or a single- or dual-slot PCI riser card.
BIOS
The BIOS provides the Power-On Self-Test (POST), the BIOS Setup program, the PCI
and SATA auto-configuration utilities, and the video BIOS.
PCI Auto Configuration

If you install a PCI add-in card in your computer, the PCI 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 add-in card.
18
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 37.
Hardware Management Features

The board’s hardware management features enable the board to be compatible with
the Wired for Management (WfM) specification. The board’s hardware management
features include thermal and voltage monitoring.
The hardware monitoring and fan control subsystem is based on the Nuvoton
W83627DH-P legacy I/O controller, which supports the following:
• Processor and system ambient temperature monitoring
• System fan speed monitoring
• Power monitoring of +12 V, +5 V, +5 Vstdby, +3.3 V, and +VCCP
• SMBus interface
19
Power Management Features

Power management is implemented at several levels, including:
• Software support through the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI)
• Hardware support:
― Power connector
― Fan header
― +5 V standby power indicator LED
― LAN Wake capabilities
― Instantly Available PC technology
― Wake from USB
― Wake from PS/2
― PME# wakeup support
― Wake from serial port
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.
Hardware Support
Fan Header
The Desktop Board has a 3-pin system fan header. See Figure 10 on page 34 for the
location of the system fan header.
+5 V Standby Power Indicator
CAUTION
If the AC power has been switched off and the standby power indicator is still lit,
disconnect the power cord before installing or removing any devices connected to the
board. Failure to do so could damage the board and any attached devices.
The Desktop Board’s standby power indicator, shown in Figure 4, is lit when there is
standby power to the system. This includes the SO-DIMM sockets and the PCI bus
connector, even though the computer appears to be off.
20
Figure 4. Location of the Standby Power Indicator
For more information on standby current requirements for the Desktop Board, refer to
the Technical Product Specification on the Intel Desktop D2500HN web page at
http://www.intel.com/products/motherboard/index.htm.
Instantly Available PC Technology

Instantly Available PC technology enables the board to enter the ACPI S3 (Suspend-to-
RAM) sleep-state. While in the ACPI S3 sleep-state, the computer will appear to be off
(the hard drive(s) and fan will power off, the front panel power LED will blink). When
signaled by a wake-up device or event, the system quickly returns to its last known
state.
The board supports the PCI Bus Power Management Interface Specification. Add-in
boards that also support this specification can participate in power management and
can be used to wake the computer.
21
LAN Wake Capabilities

The board’s LAN wake capabilities enable remote wake-up of the computer through a
network. The LAN subsystem network adapter monitors network traffic at the Media
Independent Interface. The board supports LAN wake capabilities with ACPI in the
following ways:
• By Ping
• By Magic Packet
Upon detecting the configured wake packet type, the LAN subsystem asserts a wake-
up signal that powers up the computer.
Wake from USB

USB bus activity wakes the computer from an ACPI S1 or S3 state.
NOTE
Wake from USB requires the use of a USB peripheral that supports wake from USB.
Wake from PS/2 Device

PS/2 keyboard activity wakes the computer from an ACPI S1, S3, S4, or S5 state.
However, when the computer is in an ACPI S4 or S5 state, the only PS/2 activity that
will wake the computer is the Alt + Print Screen key combination or the Power key
available only on some keyboards.
PME# Wakeup Support

When the PME# signal is asserted on the PCI bus, the computer wakes from an ACPI
S1, S3, S4, or S5 state.
Wake from Serial Port

Serial port activity wakes the computer from an ACPI S1 or S3 state.
Battery
A coin-cell battery on the Desktop Board keeps the values in CMOS RAM and the clock
current when the computer is turned off. Go to page 38 for instructions on how to
replace the battery.
Real-Time Clock
The Desktop Board includes a time-of-day clock and a 100-year calendar. The coin-
cell battery keeps the clock current when the computer is turned off.

Before You Begin

CAUTION
The procedures in this chapter assume familiarity with the general terminology
associated with personal computers and with the safety practices and regulatory
compliance required for using and modifying electronic equipment.
Disconnect the computer from its power source and from any telecommunications
links, networks, or modems before performing any of the procedures described in this
chapter. Failure to disconnect power, telecommunications links, networks, or modems
before you open the computer or perform any procedures can result in personal injury
or equipment damage. Some circuitry on the board can continue to operate even
though the front panel power button is off.
Follow these guidelines before you begin installing the Desktop Board:
• Always follow the steps in each procedure in the correct order.
• Set up a log to record information about your computer, such as model, serial
numbers, installed options, and configuration information.
• Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage components. Perform the procedures
described in this chapter only at an ESD workstation using an antistatic wrist strap
and a conductive foam pad. If such a station is not available, you can provide
some ESD protection by wearing an antistatic wrist strap and attaching it to a
metal part of the computer chassis.
23
CAUTION
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.
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.
CAUTION
Ensure that the ambient temperature does not exceed the board’s maximum operating
temperature. Failure to do so could cause components to exceed their maximum case
temperature and malfunction. For information about the maximum operating
temperature, see the environmental specifications in the Intel Desktop Board Technical
Product Specification.
CAUTION
The board is designed to be passively cooled on a properly ventilated chassis. Chassis
venting locations are recommended over the processor, voltage regulator, and system
memory areas for maximum heat dissipation effectiveness.
Ensure that proper airflow is maintained around the processor, processor voltage
regulator circuit, and the DIMM. Failure to do so may result in damage to these
components.
CAUTION
A thermal rating of 85 oC is required for the DIMMs used on this board.
24
Installing and Replacing Desktop Board Components
Installation Precautions
When you install and test the Intel Desktop Board, observe all warnings and cautions

• Damage to wires that could cause a short circuit
Observe all warnings and cautions that instruct you to refer computer servicing to
qualified technical personnel.
Prevent Power Supply Overload

Do not overload the power supply output. To avoid overloading the power supply,
make sure that the calculated total current loads of all the modules within the
computer is less than the output current rating of the power supply.
Observe Safety and Regulatory Requirements

Read and adhere to the instructions in this section and the instructions supplied with
the chassis and associated modules. If you do not follow these instructions and the
instructions provided by chassis and module suppliers, you increase safety risk and the
possibility of noncompliance with regional laws and regulations.
Refer to Appendix B for safety and regulatory requirements.
25
Installing the I/O Shield

The Desktop Board comes with an I/O shield. When installed in the chassis, the shield
blocks radio frequency transmissions, protects internal components from dust and
foreign objects, and promotes correct airflow within the chassis.
Install the I/O shield before installing the Desktop Board in the chassis. Place the
shield inside the chassis as shown in Figure 5. Press the shield into place so that it fits
tightly and securely. If the shield does not fit, obtain a properly-sized shield from the
chassis supplier.

3 Updating the BIOS
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 Download Center at
http://downloadcenter.intel.com/
2. Navigate to the D2500HN page. Click on the “BIOS Update” link and then select
the Express BIOS Update 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.
43
Updating the BIOS Using the F7 Function Key

To use this BIOS update method:
1. Download and save the Recovery BIOS (.BIO) file to a temporary directory.
2. Copy the .BIO file to a USB thumb drive.
3. Plug the thumb drive into a USB port of the target computer.
4. Shut down the target computer.
5. Enable the F7 prompt display:
a. Power the computer on.
b. Enter the BIOS Setup by pressing the F2 key during boot.
c. Go to the Advanced > Boot Configuration menu.
d. Enable Display F7 to Update BIOS
e. Press the F10 key to save and exit.
6. During boot, when the F7 prompt is displayed, press the F7 key to enter the BIOS
Flash Update tool.
7. Select the USB thumb drive and press Enter.

11. Remove the thumb drive.
12. Restart the computer.
Updating the BIOS with the Iflash Memory

Update Utility
You can use the information in this section to update the BIOS using the Iflash
Memory Update Utility.
Obtaining the BIOS Update File

You can update to a new version of the BIOS by using the Iflash BIOS update file.
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
• Intel Flash Memory Update Utility
You can obtain either of these files through your computer supplier or by navigating to
the Intel Desktop Board D2500HN page at
http://www.intel.com/p/en_US/support?iid=hdr+support .
Navigate to the Intel Desktop D2500HN page, click “[view] Latest BIOS updates,” and
select the Iflash BIOS Update utility file.
CAUTION
Do not interrupt the process or the system may not function properly.
44
Updating the BIOS
Using the Iflash Memory Update Utility

With the Iflash Memory update utility you can update the system BIOS from a
bootable USB flash drive or other bootable USB media. The Iflash BIOS update files
can be extracted locally to your hard drive and copied to a bootable USB flash drive or
other bootable USB media.
NOTE
Review the instructions distributed with the update utility before attempting a BIOS
update.
CAUTION
Do not interrupt the process or the system may not function properly.
1. Uncompress the BIOS update file and copy the .BIO file and IFLASH.EXE to a
bootable USB flash drive or other bootable USB media.
2. Configure the BIOS or use the F10 key 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 a BIOS update; however, if an interruption
occurs, the BIOS could be damaged. Table 13 lists the drives and media types that
can and cannot be used for BIOS recovery. The BIOS recovery media does not have
to be bootable.
Table 13. Acceptable Drives/Media Types for BIOS Recovery

Media Type Can be Used for BIOS Recovery?
CD-ROM drive connected to the SATA interface Yes
USB removable drive (a USB Flash Drive, for example) Yes
USB diskette drive (with a 1.44 MB diskette) No
USB hard disk drive Yes

A Board Status and Error Messages
This appendix describes status and error messages generated by the Desktop Board’s
BIOS. The BIOS indicates these error messages with front-panel Power LED blink
codes, speaker beep codes, and by displaying text on the video monitor.
BIOS Beep Codes

The BIOS uses audible beep codes to signal status messages and error messages
indicating recoverable errors that occur during the POST. The beep codes are listed in
Table 14. These beep codes can be heard through a speaker attached to the board’s
line out audio jack (see Figure 2, B on page 16) or the piezoelectric speaker header
(see Figure 9, D).
