Back Panel Audio Connectors NOTE The back panel audio line out connector is designed to power amplified speakers or headphones only. Poor audio quality occurs if passive (non-amplified) speakers are connected to this output.
Desktop Board Features LAN Subsystem The LAN subsystem consists of the following: • • • Intel NM10 Express Chipset Intel 82574L Gigabit Ethernet Controller for 10/100/1000 Mb/s Ethernet LAN connectivity RJ-45 LAN connector with integrated status LEDs Additional features of the LAN subsystem include: • • • CSMA/CD protocol engine LAN connect interface that supports the Ethernet controller Conventional PCI bus power management Supports ACPI technology Supports LAN wake capabilities LAN drivers are av
Intel Desktop Board D2500HN Product Guide 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.
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.
