Technical Reference 2.6.2 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 40 lists the current capability of the fan headers. Table 40. Fan Header Current Capability Fan Header Maximum Available Current Processor fan 2.0 A System fan 1.5 A 2.6.
Intel Desktop Board DH61AG Technical Product Specification CAUTION The processor voltage regulator area (shown in Figure 23) can reach a temperature of up to 120 oC in an open chassis. Ensure that proper airflow is maintained in the processor voltage regulator circuit. Failure to do so may result in shorter than expected product lifetime. Figure 23 shows the locations of the localized high temperature zones.
Technical Reference Table 41 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 considering proper airflow to cool the board. Table 41.
Intel Desktop Board DH61AG Technical Product Specification 2.8 Reliability The Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) prediction is calculated using component and subassembly random failure rates. The calculation is based on the Telcordia SR-332 Issue 2, Method I, Case 3, 55 ºC ambient. The MTBF prediction is used to estimate repair rates and spare parts requirements. The MTBF for the board is 298,107 hours. 2.9 Environmental Table 43 lists the environmental specifications for the board. Table 43.
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 AGH6110H.86A.
Intel Desktop Board DH61AG Technical Product Specification Table 44 lists the BIOS Setup program menu features. Table 44.
Overview of BIOS Features 3.3 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.
Intel Desktop Board DH61AG Technical Product Specification 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 system’s installation instructions. 3.5 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.
Overview of BIOS Features 3.5.2 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 Integrator’s 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. Refer to For information about Intel Integrator Toolkit http://developer.intel.
Intel Desktop Board DH61AG Technical Product Specification 3.7 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. 3.7.1 Optical Drive Boot Booting from the optical drive is supported in compliance to the El Torito bootable CD-ROM format specification.
Overview of BIOS Features 3.8 Hard Disk Drive Password Security Feature The Hard Disk Drive Password Security feature blocks read and write accesses to the hard disk drive until the correct password is given. Hard Disk Drive Passwords are set in BIOS SETUP and are prompted for during BIOS POST. For convenient support of S3 resume, the system BIOS will automatically unlock drives on resume from S3.
Intel Desktop Board DH61AG Technical Product Specification 3.9 Adjusting Boot Speed These factors affect system boot speed: • • • Selecting and configuring peripherals properly Optimized BIOS boot parameters Enabling the new Fast Boot 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.
Overview of BIOS Features 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.
