Chapter 1: Introduction 1-2 Chipset Overview The Intel 3000 chipset, designed for use with UP Pentium 4 and Dual Core Pentium D Processors, is comprised of two primary components: the Memory Controller Hub (MCH) and the I/O Controller Hub (ICH7R). With the capabilities provided by the Intel 3000 chipset, the PDSML-LN1+/PDSML-LN2+ provides the performance and feature-set required for cost-effective UP servers.
PDSML-LN1+/PDSML-LN2+ User’s Manual 1-3 Special Features Recovery from AC Power Loss BIOS provides a setting for you to determine how the system will respond when AC power is lost and then restored to the system. You can choose for the system to remain powered off (in which case you must hit the power switch to turn it back on) or for it to automatically return to a power- on state. See the Power Lost Control setting in the Advanced BIOS Setup section to change this setting.
Chapter 1: Introduction CPU Overheat LED and Control This feature is available when the user enables the CPU overheat warning function in the BIOS. This allows the user to define an overheat temperature. When this temperature exceeds the predefined temperature threshold, both overheat fan and the warning LED will be activated. System Resource Alert This feature is available when used with Supero Doctor III in the Windows OS environment or used with Supero Doctor II in Linux.
PDSML-LN1+/PDSML-LN2+ User’s Manual supply provides power to keep the required circuitry in the system alive. In case the system malfunctions and you want to turn off the power, just press and hold the power button for 4 seconds. This option can be set in the Power section of the BIOS Setup routine. External Modem Ring-On Wake-up events can be triggered by a device such as the external modem ringing when the system is in the Standby or Off state.
Chapter 1: Introduction 1-7 Super I/O The disk drive adapter functions of the Super I/O chip include a floppy disk drive controller that is compatible with industry standard 82077/765, a data separator, write pre-compensation circuitry, decode logic, data rate selection, a clock generator, drive interface control logic and interrupt and DMA logic. The wide range of functions integrated onto the Super I/O greatly reduces the number of components required for interfacing with floppy disk drives.
