Also, during Microsoft Windows XP installation, you must press F6 to install the RAID drivers. See your Microsoft Windows XP documentation for more information about installing drivers during installation. Both Microsoft Windows Vista and Microsoft Windows 7 include the necessary RAID drivers for both AHCI and RAID without the need to install separate RAID drivers using the F6 switch in the operating system installation process. 18

19 Desktop Board Features Intel Rapid Recover Technology The board incorporates Intel Rapid Recover Technology (Intel RRT). Intel RRT is a feature of Intel RST. Intel RRT uses RAID 1 (mirroring) functionality to copy data from a designated master drive to a designated recovery drive. The master drive data can be copied to the recovery drive either continuously or on request. When using the continuous update policy, changes made to the data on the master drive while the recovery drive is disconnected or offline are automatically copied to the recovery drive when it is reconnected. When using the on request update policy, the master drive data can be restored to a previous state by copying the data on the recovery drive back to the master drive. Expandability Intel Desktop Board DQ67OW provides the following expansion capability: One PCI Express 2.0 x16 interface One PCI Express 2.0 x4 interface One PCI Express 2.0 x1 interface One Conventional PCI bus interface Legacy I/O The board s Legacy I/O Controller provides the following legacy features: A parallel port back panel connector A diskette drive interface One PS/2 back panel connector for mouse/keyboard support One serial port header Serial IRQ interface compatible with serialized IRQ support for Conventional PCI bus systems Intelligent power management, including a programmable wake-up event interface Conventional PCI bus power management support BIOS The BIOS Setup program provides configuration options for the Legacy I/O controller. The BIOS provides the Power-On Self-Test (POST), the BIOS Setup program, and the PCI/PCI Express and SATA auto-configuration utilities. The BIOS is stored in the Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) Flash memory device. The BIOS can be updated by following the instructions in Chapter 3 starting on page

20 Intel Desktop Board DQ67OW Product Guide SATA Auto Configuration If you install a SATA device (such as a hard disk 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 SATA device. You can override the auto-configuration options by specifying manual configuration in the BIOS Setup program. PCI*/PCI Express Auto Configuration If you install a Conventional PCI or 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 Conventional PCI or PCI Express add-in card. BIOS 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, go to Clearing Passwords on page

21 Desktop Board Features Hard Disk Drive Passwords NOTE On this board, the Hard Disk Drive Password Security feature is only supported on SATA port 0. Since the passwords are stored on the hard disk drive, if the drive is relocated to another SATA port or computer that does not support the Hard Disk Drive Password Security feature, the drive will not be accessible. The board s Hard Disk Drive Password Security feature blocks read and write accesses to the hard disk drive until the correct password is entered. Hard disk drive passwords are set in BIOS Setup and are prompted for during the POST. For convenient support of ACPI S3 resume, the system BIOS automatically unlocks drives on resume from S3. The User hard disk drive password, when set, will be required upon each power cycle until the Master Key or User hard disk drive password is entered. The Master Key hard disk drive password, when set, will not lock the hard disk drive. The Master Key hard disk drive password is an unlock override that can be used in the event that the User hard disk drive password has been forgotten. Only the installation of the User hard disk drive password will cause a hard disk drive to be locked upon a system power cycle. Table 4 shows the effects of setting the hard disk drive passwords. Table 4. Master Key and User Hard Disk Drive Password Functions Password Set Neither Master only User only Master and User Password During Boot None None User only Master or User 21

22 Intel Desktop Board DQ67OW Product Guide During every POST, if a User hard disk drive password is set, POST execution will pause with the following prompt to force the user to enter the Master Key or User hard disk drive password: Enter Hard Disk Drive Password: Upon successful entry of the Master Key or User hard disk drive password, the system will continue with the normal POST. If the hard disk drive password is not correctly entered, the system will go back to the above prompt. The user will have three attempts to correctly enter the hard disk drive password. After the third unsuccessful hard disk drive password attempt, the system will halt with the message: Hard Disk Drive Password Entry Error A manual power cycle will be required to resume system operation. NOTE The Hard Disk Drive Password Security feature is not supported in PCH RAID mode. Secured hard disk drives attached to the system when the system is in PCH RAID mode will not be accessible due to the disabling of BIOS Hard Disk Drive Password support. 22

23 Desktop Board Features Platform Management and Protection Intel Desktop Board DQ67OW integrates several functions designed to manage the system and lower the total cost of ownership (TCO) of the system.

28 Intel Desktop Board DQ67OW Product Guide Software 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. 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 58 for the location of the power connectors. Fan Headers The function/operation of the fans is as follows: The fans are on when the board is in the ACPI S0 state. The fans are off when the computer is in the ACPI S3, S4, or S5 state. Each fan header is wired to a tachometer input. All fan headers support closed-loop fan control that can adjust the fan speed or switch the fan on or off as needed. All fan headers have a +12 V DC connection. All fan headers are controlled by Pulse Width Modulation. The front and rear chassis fans support Linear Fan Control on 3-wire fans. The Desktop Board has a 4-pin processor fan header and two 4-pin chassis fan headers that are compatible with 4-wire and 3-wire chassis fans. 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. 28

29 Desktop Board Features 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 effect ACPI S3 sleep state functionality. Instantly Available PC technology enables the board to enter the ACPI S3 (Suspend-to- RAM) sleep state. 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 power LED will behave as configured by the BIOS S3 State Indicator option). When signaled by a wake-up device or event, the system quickly returns to its last known wake state. 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. 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. +5 V Standby Power Indicator LED 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 LED, 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 bus connectors. 29

Location of the Standby Power Indicator For more information on standby current requirements for the Desktop Board, refer to the Technical Product Specification at Wake from USB NOTE Wake from USB requires the use of a USB peripheral that supports Wake from USB and an operating system that supports Wake from USB. USB bus activity wakes the computer from an ACPI S3 state. PCI PME# Signal Wake-up Support When the PME# signal on the Conventional PCI bus is asserted, the computer wakes from an ACPI S3, S4, or S5 state. PCI Express WAKE# Signal Wake-up Support When the WAKE# signal on a PCI Express bus add-in card is asserted, the computer wakes from an ACPI S3, S4, or S5 state. Wake from Serial Devices Serial port activity wakes the computer from an ACPI S3 state. Wake from PS/2 Devices PS/2 device activity wakes the computer from an ACPI S3 state. 30

31 Desktop Board Features Onboard Speaker A speaker is mounted on the Desktop Board. The speaker provides audible error code (beep code) information during the Power-On Self-Test (POST). Refer to Appendix A for a description of the beep codes that may be generated during the POST. Real-Time Clock Subsystem A coin-cell battery (CR2032) powers the real-time clock and CMOS memory. When the computer is not plugged into a wall socket, the battery has an estimated life of three years. When the computer is plugged in, the standby current from the power supply extends the life of the battery. The clock is accurate to ± 13 minutes/year at 25 ºC with standby power applied by the power supply. NOTE If the battery and AC power fail, date and time values will be reset and the user will be notified during the POST. When the battery voltage drops below a certain level, the BIOS Setup program settings stored in CMOS RAM (for example, the date and time) might not be accurate. Replace the battery with an equivalent one. Go to page 61 for instructions on how to replace the battery. 31

33 2 Installing and Replacing Desktop Board Components This chapter tells you how to: Install the I/O shield Install and remove the Desktop Board Install and remove a processor Install and remove memory Install and remove a PCI Express x16 card Connect Serial ATA cables Connect diskette drive cables Connect to the internal headers Connect to the audio system Connect chassis fan and power supply cables Set the BIOS configuration jumper Clear passwords Replace the battery Before You Begin CAUTIONS 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: 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. 33

34 Intel Desktop Board DQ67OW Product Guide Installation Precautions When you install and test the Intel Desktop Board, observe all warnings and cautions in the installation instructions. To avoid injury, be careful of: Sharp pins on connectors Sharp pins on printed circuit assemblies Rough edges and sharp corners on the chassis Hot components (such as processors, voltage regulators, and heat sinks) 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 each of the power supplies output circuits plus enough headroom for desktop board power consumption.
