Intel AMT Status Indicator Intel Virtualization Technology (Intel VT) Intel Virtualization Technology (Intel VT) consists of components that support virtualization of platforms based on Intel processors, thereby enabling the running of multiple operating systems and applications in independent partitions. Each partition behaves like a virtual machine (VM) and provides isolation and protection across partitions. This hardware-based virtualization solution, along with virtualization software, enables multiple usages such as server consolidation, activity partitioning, workload isolation, embedded management, legacy software migration, and disaster recovery. Intel Virtualization Technology (Intel VT) Hardware support for processor virtualization enables simple, robust and reliable VMM software. VMM software relies on hardware support on operational details for the handling of events, exceptions, and resources allocated to virtual machines. 19

20 Intel Desktop Board DQ45CB Product Guide Intel Virtualization Technology (Intel VT) for Directed I/O (Intel VT-d) Intel VT-d provides additional performance, security and flexibility by providing the VMM with the following capabilities: I/O device assignment: for flexibly assigning I/O devices to VMs and extending the protection and isolation properties of VMs for I/O operations. DMA remapping: for supporting independent address translations for Direct Memory Accesses (DMA) from devices. Interrupt remapping: for supporting isolation and routing of interrupts from devices and external interrupt controllers to appropriate VMs. Reliability: for recording and reporting to system software DMA and interrupt errors that may otherwise corrupt memory or impact VM isolation. NOTE Intel VT requires the use of a processor with Intel VT support. Additionally, a thirdparty VMM may also be required. Intel Trusted Execution Technology (Intel TXT) Intel Trusted Execution Technology (Intel TXT) is a highly versatile set of hardware extensions to Intel processors and chipsets that, with appropriate software, enhance the platform security capabilities. Intel TXT will provide a hardware-based security foundation that will help enable greater levels of protection for information stored, processed and exchanged on the PC. Intel Trusted Execution Technology capabilities include: Protected execution and memory spaces where sensitive data can be processed out of view of any other software. Sealed storage shields encryption keys and other data from attack while in use or stored. Attestation enables a system to provide assurance that it has correctly invoked the Intel Trusted Execution Technology environment, as well as enable a verified measurement of the software running in the protected space. Measured launch capability to help: Reduce IT support costs with improved services Enable decentralized or remote computing Verify platform configuration with a higher level of assurance Memory protection to help: Enhance protection of system resources Increase confidentiality and integrity of data Improve assurance of data transfers and resources Improve protection of sensitive information 20

21 Desktop Board Features These Intel Trusted Execution Technology capabilities enable more secure platforms to address the increasing frequency and sophistication of software-based attacks. NOTE Intel TXT requires the use of a processor with Intel TXT support. Additionally, thirdparty software may also be required. Hi-Speed USB 2.0 Support The Desktop Board supports up to 12 USB 2.0 ports (six ports routed to the back panel and six ports routed to three internal headers) via ICH10DO. 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. Serial ATA The Desktop Board supports six Serial ATA channels (3.0 Gb/s) via ICH10DO, connecting one device per channel. One channel is configured as an esata channel. Serial ATA RAID ICH10DO supports Intel Matrix Storage Technology which enables the following RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Drives) levels: RAID 0 - data striping RAID 1 - data mirroring RAID 0+1 (or RAID 10) - data striping and mirroring RAID 5 - distributed parity For information on configuring your system for RAID using Intel Matrix Storage Technology see Chapter 4. 21

22 Intel Desktop Board DQ45CB Product Guide Intel Rapid Recover Technology (Intel RRT) The Desktop Board supports Intel Rapid Recover Technology which enables fast and easy recovery of your data in the event of a hard drive failure. It allows you to maintain a complete copy of your primary or master drive onto a second hard drive, the recovery drive. If the master hard drive should fail, either from a mechanical failure or the result of a virus, recovery is as simple as booting from the recovery drive. The recovery drive can be attached to your system via any standard SATA or esata connection. Intel Rapid Recover Technology also provides the added benefit of allowing the recovery drive to be mounted as a read-only volume so you can quickly copy files from the recovery drive when individual files need to be recovered. For information on configuring your system for Intel Rapid Recover Technology see Chapter 5. Expandability For system expansion, the Desktop Board provides the following expansion slots: One PCI Express 2.0 x16 connector (compatible with PCI Express 1.1 add-in cards) Two PCI Express 1.1 x1 connectors One PCI bus connector BIOS The BIOS provides the Power-On Self-Test (POST), the BIOS Setup program, the PCI/PCI Express auto-configuration utilities, and the video BIOS. The BIOS is stored in the Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) Flash device. The BIOS can be updated by following the instructions in Chapter 3. Serial ATA Auto Configuration If you install a Serial ATA device (such as a hard drive) in your computer, the autoconfiguration 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 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. 22

23 Desktop Board Features 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 or Changing Passwords on page 54. Intel Trusted Platform Module (Intel TPM) The Intel Trusted Platform Module (Intel TPM) component is designed to enhance platform security above and beyond the capabilities of today s software by providing a protected space for key operations and other security critical tasks. Using both hardware and software, the TPM protects encryption and signature keys at their most vulnerable stages operations when the keys are being used unencrypted in plain-text form. The TPM is specifically designed to shield unencrypted keys and platform authentication information from software-based attacks. NOTE The Intel TPM uses the onboard coin-cell battery (CR2032) to maintain its monotonic counters. One major function of the monotonic counters is for anti-replay protection of the internal Intel TPM data. If the battery is removed or exhausted, the Intel TPM data will be deleted in accordance with Trusted Computing Group guidelines. Please read the Intel TPM user guide and back-up Intel TPM keys and data before removing the battery. 23

25 Desktop Board Features Power Management Features ACPI Power management is implemented at several levels, including: Software support through the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) Hardware support: Power connectors Fan headers LAN wake capabilities Instantly Available PC technology (Suspend to RAM) +5 V standby power indicator LED Wake from USB Power Management Event signal (PME#) wakeup support WAKE# signal wake-up support ENERGY STAR qualified 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 Power Connectors ATX12V-compliant power supplies can turn off the computer power through system control. When an ACPI-enabled computer 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 (either on or off). The computer s response can be set by using the Last Power State feature in the BIOS Setup program s Boot menu. The Desktop Board has two power connectors. See Figure 25 on page 52 for the location of the power connectors. Fan Headers The function/operation of the fans is as follows: The fans are on when the computer is in the ACPI S0 state. The fans are off when the computer is in the ACPI S3, S4, or S5 state. 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. The Desktop Board has a 4-pin processor fan header and two 3-pin chassis fan headers. 25

26 Intel Desktop Board DQ45CB Product Guide LAN Wake Capabilities CAUTION For LAN wake capabilities, 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. LAN wakeup capabilities enable remote wake-up of the computer through a network. The LAN subsystem monitors network traffic and upon detecting a Magic Packet* frame, it asserts a wake-up signal that powers up the computer. 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 effect 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. If the computer has a dual-colored power LED on the front panel, the sleep state is indicated by the LED turning amber. When signaled by a wake-up device or event, the computer quickly returns to its last known awake state. The Desktop Board supports the PCI Bus Power Management Interface Specification. Add-in cards that support this specification can participate in power management and can be used to wake the computer. 26

27 Desktop Board Features +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 still present on the board even when the computer appears to be off. For example, when this green LED is lit, standby power is still present at the memory module sockets and the PCI/PCI Express bus connectors. Figure 4. Location of the +5 V Standby Power Indicator For more information on standby current requirements for the Desktop Board, refer to the Technical Product Specification by going to finding the product, and clicking on the Technical Documents tab. Wake from USB NOTE Wake from USB requires the use of a USB peripheral that supports Wake from USB. USB bus activity wakes the computer from an ACPI S3 state. PME# Signal Wake-up Support When the PME# signal on the PCI bus is asserted, the computer wakes from an ACPI S3, S4, or S5 state. WAKE# Signal Wake-up Support When the WAKE# signal on the PCI Express bus is asserted, the computer wakes from an ACPI S1, S3, S4, or S5 state. 27
