INTEL D525MW - USB 2.0 Support - 1

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 the following expansion capability:

  • One PCI connector. The connector can support either a single PCI add-in card or a single- or dual-slot PCI riser card.
    • One PCI Express Full-Mini Card slot.

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/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.

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.

For instructions on resetting the password, see Clearing Passwords on page 40.

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 devices
— PME# wakeup support
— WAKE# signal 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 chassis fan header. See Figure 13 on page 37 for the location of the chassis fan header.

+5 V Standby Power Indicator

INTEL D525MW - +5 V Standby Power Indicator - 1

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 DIMM sockets and the PCI bus connector, even though the computer appears to be off.

INTEL D525MW - CAUTION - 1

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 D525MW web page at http://www.intel.com/products/motherboard/D525MW/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.

The use of Instantly Available PC technology requires operating system support and PCI 2.3 compliant add-in cards and drivers.

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.

INTEL D525MW - Wake from USB - 1

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# Signal Wakeup Support

When the WAKE# signal is asserted on the PCI Express 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 41 for instructions on how to replace the battery.

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 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 http://www.intel.com/p/en_US/support?iid=hdr+support.
  2. Navigate to the Intel Desktop Board D525MW page, click "[view] Latest BIOS updates," and select the Express BIOS Update utility 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.

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 D525MW page at http://www.intel.com/p/en_US/support?iid=hdr+support.

Navigate to the Intel Desktop D525MW page, click "[view] Latest BIOS updates," and select the Iflash BIOS Update utility file.

INTEL D525MW - Obtaining the BIOS Update File - 1

CAUTION

Do not interrupt the process or the system may not function properly.

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.

INTEL D525MW - Using the Iflash Memory Update Utility - 1

NOTE

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

INTEL D525MW - NOTE - 1

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 14 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 14. Acceptable Drives/Media Types for BIOS Recovery

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 15. These beep codes can be heard through a speaker attached to the board's line out audio jack (see Figure 2, B on page 15).

Table 15. BIOS Beep Codes

Type Pattern Frequency
F2 Setup/F10 Boot Menu PromptOne 0.5-second beep when the BIOS is ready to accept keyboard input932 Hz
Video error On-off (1.0 second each) two times, then a 2.5-second pause (off); the entire pattern repeats (beeps and pause) once and the BIOS will continue to boot.932 HzWhen no VGA option ROM is found.
Memory error On-off (1.0 second each) three times, then a 2.5-second pause (off); the entire pattern repeats (beeps and pause) until the system is powered off.932 Hz
Thermal trip warningAlternate high and low beeps (1.0 second each) for eight beeps, followed by system shut down.High beep 2000 HzLow beep 1500 Hz

The BIOS also blinks the front-panel power LED to signal status messages and error messages indicating certain recoverable errors that occur during the POST. The blink codes are listed in Table 16.

Table 16. BIOS Front-panel Power LED Blink Codes

Type Pattern Note
BIOS update in progressOff when the update begins, then on for 0.5 second, and then off for 0.5 second.The pattern repeats until the BIOS update is complete.
Video error On-off (1.0 second each) two times, then a 2.5-second pause (off); the entire pattern repeats (blinks and pause) until the system is powered off.When no VGA option ROM is found.
Memory error On-off (1.0 second each) three times, then a 2.5-second pause (off); the entire pattern repeats (blinks and pause) until the system is powered off.
Thermal trip warning Each beep will be accompanied by the following blink pattern: 0.25 second on, 0.25 second off, 0.25 second on, 0.25 second off. This results in a total of 16 blinks followed by system shut down.
