Specfication Update for the Intel® Desktop Board DP43TF This document is an update to the specifications contained in the Intel® Desktop Board DP43TF Technical Product Specification (Order Number: E35962). It is intended for hardware system manufacturers and software developers of applications, operating systems, or tools. It will contain Specification Changes, Errata, Specification Clarifications, and Documentation Changes.
Terminology Specification Changes are modifications to the current published specifications. These changes will be incorporated in the next release of the specifications. Errata are design defects or errors. Characterized errata may cause the desktop board behavior to deviate from published specifications.
Summary of Changes The following table indicates the Specification Changes, Errata, Specification Clarifications, or Documentation Changes that apply to the Intel® Desktop Board DP43TF. Intel intends to fix some of the errata in a future revision of the desktop board, and to account for the other outstanding issues through documentation or specification changes as noted. The following notations are used in the table: Doc: Document change or update that will be implemented.
Specification Changes The Specification Changes listed in this section apply to the Intel® Desktop Board DP43TF Technical Product Specification (Order Number E35962). 1. Correction of BIOS identifier in Revision History and Section 3.1. Revision History Revision Revision History Date -001 First release of the Intel® Desktop Board DP43TF Technical Product July 2008 Specification This product specification applies to only the standard Intel® Desktop Board DP43TF with BIOS identifier NBG4310H.86A.
2. Changes were made to the Thermal Considerations for Components table, as well as lead-in text and a new table, Tcontrol Values for Components in Section 2.6 Thermal Considerations of the Technical Product Specification. 2.6 Thermal Considerations CAUTION Failure to ensure appropriate airflow may result in reduced performance of both the processor and/or voltage regulator or, in some instances, damage to the board.
Figure 15 shows the locations of the localized high temperature zones. Item Description A B C D Processor voltage regulator area Processor Intel 82P43 GMCH Intel 82801JB (ICH10) Figure 15.
Table 31 provides maximum case temperatures for the board 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 31.
3. The following is a correction to Item 2 (above) in the Document Changes section of this document. GMCH should be MCH in Figure 15, Table 31, and Table 32. Item Description A B C D Processor voltage regulator area Processor Intel 82P43 MCH Intel 82801JIB (ICH10) Figure 15. Localized High Temperature Zones Table 31.
4. Support for up to 8 GB system memory has been changed to support for up to 16 GB system memory. Partial section of Table 1 shown below. Table 1. Feature Summary Form Factor Micro-ATX (9.60 inches by 9.60 inches [243.84 millimeters by 243.
