1.5 System Memory
The board has four DIMM sockets and supports the following memory features:
1.5 V DDR3 SDRAM DIMMs with gold plated contacts, with the option to raise the
voltage to support higher performance DDR3 SDRAM DIMMs.
Support for 1.35V Low Voltage DDR3 (new JEDEC specification)
Two independent memory channels with interleaved mode support
Unbuffered, single-sided or double-sided DIMMs with the following restriction:
Double-sided DIMMs with x16 organization are not supported.
32 GB maximum total system memory (with 4 Gb memory technology). Refer to
Section 2.1.1 on page 39 for information on the total amount of addressable
memory.
Minimum recommended total system memory: 512 MB
Non-ECC DIMMs
Serial Presence Detect
DDR3 1333 MHz and DDR3 1066 MHz SDRAM DIMMs

NOTE
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 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.

1.5.1 Memory Configurations
The Intel Core i7, Intel Core i5, and Intel Core i3 processors in the LGA1155 socket
support the following types of memory organization:
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.

Figure 3. Memory Channel and DIMM Configuration

NOTE
The Intel Core i7, Intel Core i5, and Intel Core i3 processors require memory to be
populated in the DIMM 1 (Channel A, DIMM 1) socket.
For best memory performance always install memory into the blue DIMM memory
sockets if only installing two DIMMs in your configuration.

1.14.2.3 LAN Wake Capabilities
CAUTION
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

1.14.2.4 Instantly Available PC Technology
CAUTION
For Instantly Available PC technology, 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 Instantly Available PC technology can
damage the power supply.
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 (the
power supply is off, and the front panel LED is amber if dual colored, or off if single
colored.) When signaled by a wake-up device or event, the system quickly returns to
its last known wake state. Table 11 on page 33 lists the devices and events that can
wake the computer from the S3 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.
The use of Instantly Available PC technology requires operating system support and
PCI 2.2 compliant add-in cards, PCI Express add-in cards, and drivers.

2 Technical Reference
2.1 Memory Resources
2.1.1 Addressable Memory
The board utilizes 32 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 device), and chipset overhead resides above the top of DRAM
(total system memory). On a system that has 32 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 device (16 Mbit)
Local APIC (19 MB)
Direct Media Interface (40 MB)
Front side bus interrupts (17 MB)
PCI Express configuration space (256 MB)
PCH base address registers PCI Express ports (up to 256 MB)
Memory-mapped I/O that is dynamically allocated for PCI Conventional and PCI
Express add-in cards (256 MB)
The board provides the capability to reclaim the physical memory overlapped by the
memory mapped I/O logical address space. The board remaps physical memory from
the top of usable DRAM boundary to the 4 GB boundary to an equivalent sized logical
address range located just above the 4 GB boundary. Figure 8 shows a schematic of
the system memory map. All installed system memory can be used when there is no
overlap of system addresses.

2.2 Connectors and Headers
CAUTION
Only the following connectors and headers have overcurrent protection: back panel
and front panel USB, as well as IEEE 1394a.
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 IEEE 1394a header single wire
connectors may eventually overload the overcurrent protection and cause damage to
the board.

2.5 Electrical Considerations
2.5.1 Power Supply Considerations
CAUTION
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 current capability of the +5 VSB line
All timing parameters
All voltage tolerances
For example, for a high power system consisting of a supported 95 W processor (see
Section 1.4 on page 15 for a list of supported processors), 4 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 32 lists possible
recommended power supply current rail values.

Section 1.4 on page 15 for a list of supported processors), 2 GB DDR3 RAM, Onboard
Graphics, one SSD, one optical drive, and no extra onboard peripherals enabled, the
minimum recommended power supply is a 320 W. Table 33 lists possible
recommended power supply current rail values. Note: If the correct power supply and
system configuration is used, a smaller power supply will work.

2.5.2 Fan Header Current Capability
CAUTION
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 34 lists the current capability of the fan headers.

Table 34. Fan Header Current Capability
Fan Header Maximum Available Current
Processor fan 2.0 A
Front chassis fan 1.5 A
Rear chassis fan 1.5 A

2.5.3 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 three expansion slots filled) must not exceed the systems power supply +5 V
maximum current or 14 A in total.
2.6 Thermal Considerations
CAUTION
A chassis with a maximum internal ambient temperature of 38
o
C 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.
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. For a
list of chassis that have been tested with Intel desktop boards please refer to the
following website:
http://www3.intel.com/cd/channel/reseller/asmo-na/eng/tech_reference/53211.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.
Technical Reference
57
CAUTION
Ensure that the ambient temperature does not exceed the boards 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 Section 2.8.
CAUTION
Ensure that proper airflow is maintained in the processor voltage regulator circuit.
Failure to do so may result in damage to the voltage regulator circuit. The processor
voltage regulator area (shown in Figure 15) can reach a temperature of up to 120
o
C
in an open chassis.

Table 35 provides maximum case temperatures for the components that are sensitive
to thermal changes. The operating temperature, current load, or operating frequency
could affect case temperatures. Maximum case temperatures are important when

C

To ensure functionality and reliability, the component is specified for proper operation
when Case Temperature is maintained at or below the maximum temperature listed in
Table 35. This is a requirement for sustained power dissipation equal to Thermal
Design Power (TDP is specified as the maximum sustainable power to be dissipated by
the components). When the component is dissipating less than TDP, the case
temperature should be below the Maximum Case Temperature. The surface
temperature at the geometric center of the component corresponds to Case
Temperature.
It is important to note that the temperature measurement in the system BIOS is a
value reported by embedded thermal sensors in the components and does not directly
correspond to the Maximum Case Temperature. The upper operating limit when
monitoring this thermal sensor is Tcontrol.

3 Overview of BIOS Features
3.1 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 BLH6710H.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.

3.2 BIOS Flash Memory Organization
The Serial Peripheral Interface Flash Memory (SPI Flash) includes a 16 Mbit (2048 KB)
flash memory device.
3.3 Resource Configuration
3.3.1 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.
Overview of BIOS Features
63
3.4 System Management BIOS (SMBIOS)
SMBIOS is a Desktop Management Interface (DMI) compliant method for managing
computers in a managed network.
The main component of SMBIOS is the Management Information Format (MIF)
database, which contains information about the computing system and its
components. Using SMBIOS, a system administrator can obtain the system types,
capabilities, operational status, and installation dates for system components. The
MIF database defines the data and provides the method for accessing this information.
The BIOS enables applications such as third-party management software to use
SMBIOS. The BIOS stores and reports the following SMBIOS information:
BIOS data, such as the BIOS revision level
Fixed-system data, such as peripherals, serial numbers, and asset tags
Resource data, such as memory size, cache size, and processor speed
Dynamic data, such as event detection and error logging
Non-Plug and Play operating systems require an additional interface for obtaining the
SMBIOS information. The BIOS supports an SMBIOS table interface for such operating
systems. Using this support, an SMBIOS service-level application running on a
non-Plug and Play operating system can obtain the SMBIOS information. Additional
board information can be found in the BIOS under the Additional Information header
under the Main BIOS page.
3.5 Legacy USB Support
Legacy USB support enables USB devices to be used even when the operating
systems USB drivers are not yet available. Legacy USB support is used to access the
BIOS Setup program, and to install an operating system that supports USB. By
default, Legacy USB support is set to Enabled.
Legacy USB support operates as follows:
1. When you apply power to the computer, legacy support is disabled.
2. POST begins.
3. Legacy USB support is enabled by the BIOS allowing you to use a USB keyboard to
enter and configure the BIOS Setup program and the maintenance menu.
4. POST completes.
5. The operating system loads. While the operating system is loading, USB
keyboards and mice are recognized and may be used to configure the operating
system. (Keyboards and mice are not recognized during this period if Legacy USB
support was set to Disabled in the BIOS Setup program.)
6. After the operating system loads the USB drivers, all legacy and non-legacy USB
devices are recognized by the operating system, and Legacy USB support from the
BIOS is no longer used.
7. Additional USB legacy feature options can be access by using Intel

Integrator
Toolkit.
Intel Desktop Board DH67GD and Intel Desktop Board DH67BL Technical Product
Specification
64
To install an operating system that supports USB, verify that Legacy USB support in
the BIOS Setup program is set to Enabled and follow the operating systems
installation instructions.
3.6 BIOS Updates
The BIOS can be updated using either of the following utilities, which are available on
the Intel World Wide Web site:
Intel

Express BIOS Update utility, which enables automated updating while in the
Windows environment. Using this utility, the BIOS can be updated from a file on a
hard disk, a USB drive (a flash drive or a USB hard drive), or a CD-ROM, or from
the file location on the Web.
Intel

Flash Memory Update Utility, which requires booting from DOS. Using this
utility, the BIOS can be updated from a file on a hard disk, a USB drive (a flash
drive or a USB hard drive), or a CD-ROM.
Both utilities verify that the updated BIOS matches the target system to prevent
accidentally installing an incompatible BIOS.

NOTE
Review the instructions distributed with the upgrade utility before attempting a BIOS
update.

For information about Refer to
BIOS update utilities http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/sb
/CS-022312.htm.


3.6.1 Language Support
The BIOS Setup program and help messages are supported in US English. Check the
Intel web site for support.
Overview of BIOS Features

3.6.2 Custom Splash Screen
During POST, an Intel

splash screen is displayed by default. This splash screen can

be augmented with a custom splash screen. The Intel Integrators Toolkit that is
available from Intel can be used to create a custom splash screen.

NOTE
If you add a custom splash screen, it will share space with the Intel branded logo.

3.7 BIOS Recovery
It is unlikely that anything will interrupt a BIOS update; however, if an interruption
occurs, the BIOS could be damaged. Table 40 lists the drives and media types that
can and cannot be used for BIOS recovery. The BIOS recovery media does not need
to be made bootable.
Table 40. Acceptable Drives/Media Types for BIOS Recovery
Media Type Can be used for BIOS recovery?

3.8 Boot Options
In the BIOS Setup program, the user can choose to boot from a hard drive, optical
drive, removable drive, or the network. The default setting is for the optical drive to
be the first boot device, the hard drive second, removable drive third, and the network
fourth.
3.8.1 Optical Drive Boot
Booting from the optical drive is supported in compliance to the El Torito bootable
CD-ROM format specification. Under the Boot menu in the BIOS Setup program, the
optical drive is listed as a boot device. Boot devices are defined in priority order.
Accordingly, if there is not a bootable CD in the optical drive, the system will attempt
to boot from the next defined drive.
3.8.2 Network Boot
The network can be selected as a boot device. This selection allows booting from the
onboard LAN or a network add-in card with a remote boot ROM installed.
Pressing the <F12> key during POST automatically forces booting from the LAN. To
use this key during POST, the User Access Level in the BIOS Setup program's Security
menu must be set to Full.
3.8.3 Booting Without Attached Devices
For use in embedded applications, the BIOS has been designed so that after passing
the POST, the operating system loader is invoked even if the following devices are not
present:
Video adapter
Keyboard
Mouse
3.8.4 Changing the Default Boot Device During POST
Pressing the <F10> key during POST causes a boot device menu to be displayed. This
menu displays the list of available boot devices. Table 41 lists the boot device menu
options.

3.9 Adjusting Boot Speed
These factors affect system boot speed:
Selecting and configuring peripherals properly
Optimized BIOS boot parameters
Enabling the new Hyperboot feature
3.9.1 Peripheral Selection and Configuration
The following techniques help improve system boot speed:
Choose a hard drive with parameters such as power-up to data ready in less than
eight seconds that minimizes hard drive startup delays.
Select a CD-ROM drive with a fast initialization rate. This rate can influence POST
execution time.
Eliminate unnecessary add-in adapter features, such as logo displays, screen
repaints, or mode changes in POST. These features may add time to the boot
process.
Try different monitors. Some monitors initialize and communicate with the BIOS
more quickly, which enables the system to boot more quickly.
3.9.2 BIOS Boot Optimizations
Use of the following BIOS Setup program settings reduces the POST execution time.
In the Boot Menu, set the hard disk drive as the first boot device. As a result, the
POST does not first seek a diskette drive, which saves about one second from the
POST execution time.
In the Peripheral Configuration submenu, disable the LAN device if it will not be
used. This can reduce up to four seconds of option ROM boot time.

NOTE
It is possible to optimize the boot process to the point where the system boots so
quickly that the Intel logo screen (or a custom logo splash screen) will not be seen.
Monitors and hard disk drives with minimum initialization times can also contribute to
a boot time that might be so fast that necessary logo screens and POST messages
cannot be seen.
This boot time may be so fast that some drives might be not be initialized at all. If
this condition should occur, it is possible to introduce a programmable delay ranging
from zero to 30 seconds by 5 second increments (using the Hard Disk Pre-Delay
feature of the Advanced Menu in the Drive Configuration Submenu of the BIOS Setup
program).

3.10 BIOS Security Features
The BIOS includes security features that restrict access to the BIOS Setup program
and who can boot the computer. A supervisor password and a user password can be
set for the BIOS Setup program and for booting the computer, with the following
restrictions:
The supervisor password gives unrestricted access to view and change all the
Setup options in the BIOS Setup program. This is the supervisor mode.
The user password gives restricted access to view and change Setup options in the
BIOS Setup program. This is the user mode.
If only the supervisor password is set, pressing the <Enter> key at the password
prompt of the BIOS Setup program allows the user restricted access to Setup.
If both the supervisor and user passwords are set, users can enter either the
supervisor password or the user password to access Setup. Users have access to
Setup respective to which password is entered.
Setting the user password restricts who can boot the computer. The password
prompt will be 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, the user can enter either password to boot the computer.
For enhanced security, use different passwords for the supervisor and user
passwords.
Valid password characters are A-Z, a-z, and 0-9. Passwords may be up to
16 characters in length.
Table 42 shows the effects of setting the supervisor password and user password.
This table is for reference only and is not displayed on the screen.

4.5 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 POST card that can interface with the Low Pin
Count (LPC) Debug header. The POST card can decode the port and display the
contents on a medium such as a seven-segment display. Refer to the location of the
LPC Debug header in Figure 1.
The following tables provide information about the POST codes generated by the
BIOS:
Table 46 lists the Port 80h POST code ranges
Table 47 lists the Port 80h POST codes themselves
Table 48 lists the Port 80h POST sequence
