Desktop Board Features  
USB 2.0 Support  
The Desktop Board supports up to 12 USB 2.0 ports (eight ports routed to back panel  
connectors and four ports routed to two onboard headers) via the ICH10R. USB 2.0  
ports are backward 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 Hi-Speed USB in the BIOS reverts all USB 2.0 ports  
to USB 1.1 operation. This may be required to accommodate operating systems that  
do not support USB 2.0.  
Serial ATA  
Intel Desktop Board DX58SO supports six onboard Serial ATA channels (3.0 Gb/s) via  
ICH10R and two eSATA channels (3.0 Gb/s) via a discrete controller.

PCI/PCI Express and IDE auto-configuration utilities. The BIOS is stored in the Serial  
Peripheral Interface (SPI) Flash device.  
The BIOS can be updated by following the instructions on page 63 in Chapter 3.  
Serial ATA and IDE Auto Configuration  
If you install a Serial ATA or IDE device (such as a hard drive) in your computer, the  
auto-configuration utility in the BIOS automatically detects and configures the device  
for your computer. You do not need to run the BIOS Setup program after installing a  
Serial ATA or IDE device. You can override the auto-configuration options by  
specifying manual configuration in the BIOS Setup program.

Desktop Board Features  
PCI and 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 <Enter> 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.  
Related Links:  
For instructions on resetting the password, go to Clearing Passwords on page 56.

Intel® Precision Cooling Technology  
Intel Precision Cooling Technology automatically adjust processor fan speed based on  
the processor temperature and adjusts chassis fan speeds based on the internal  
system temperature.  
Chassis Intrusion  
The board supports a chassis security feature that detects if the chassis cover has  
been removed. The security feature uses a mechanical switch on the chassis that can  
be connected to the chassis intrusion header on the Desktop Board. See Figure 27 for  
the location of the chassis intrusion header.  
Power Management  
Power management is implemented at several levels, including software support  
through the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) and the following  
hardware support:  
Power connectors  
Fan headers  
LAN wake capabilities  
Instantly Available PC technology (Suspend to RAM)  
+5 V standby power indicator LED  
Wake from USB  
Power Management Event signal (PME#) wakeup support  
WAKE# signal wake-up support  
ENERGY STAR capable  
Software Support  
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  
Power Connectors  
ATX12V-compliant power supplies can turn off the computer power through system  
control. When an ACPI-enabled computer receives the correct command, the power  
supply removes all non-standby voltages.  
When resuming from an AC power failure, the computer returns to the power state it  
was in before power was interrupted (either on or off). The computer’s response can  
be set by using the Last Power State feature in the BIOS Setup program’s Boot menu.

Desktop Board Features  
The Desktop Board has three power connectors. See Figure 30 on page 54 for the  
location of the power connectors.  
Fan Headers  
The function/operation of the fans is as follows:  
The fans are on when the computer is in the ACPI S0 state.  
The fans are off when the computer is in the ACPI S3, S4, or S5 state.  
Each fan header is wired to a tachometer input of the hardware monitoring and  
control device.  
All fan headers support closed-loop fan control that can adjust the fan speed or  
switch the fan on or off as needed.  
All fan headers have a +12 V DC connection.  
The Desktop Board has a 4-pin processor fan header, one 4-pin and two 3-pin chassis  
fan headers, and one 3-pin IOH fan header.  
LAN Wake Capabilities  
CAUTION  
For LAN wake capabilities, the 5 V standby line for the power supply must be capable  
of delivering adequate +5 V standby current. Failure to provide adequate standby  
current when using this feature can damage the power supply.  
LAN wakeup capabilities enable remote wake-up of the computer through a network.  
The LAN subsystem monitors network traffic and upon detecting a Magic Packet*  
frame, it asserts a wake-up signal that powers up the computer.  
Instantly Available PC Technology  
CAUTIONS  
For Instantly Available PC technology, the 5 V standby line for the power supply must  
be capable of delivering adequate +5 V standby current. Failure to provide adequate  
standby current when using this feature can damage the power supply and/or effect  
ACPI S3 sleep state functionality.  
Power supplies used with this Desktop Board must be able to provide enough standby  
current to support the standard Instantly Available (ACPI S3 sleep state) configuration.  
If the standby current necessary to support multiple wake events from the PCI and/or  
USB buses exceeds power supply capacity, the Desktop Board may lose register  
settings stored in memory.  
Instantly Available PC technology enables the board to enter the ACPI S3 (Suspend-to-  
RAM) sleep state. While in the S3 sleep state, the computer will appear to be off. If  
the computer has a dual-colored power LED on the front panel, the sleep state is  
indicated by the LED turning amber. When signaled by a wake-up device or event, the  
computer quickly returns to its last known awake state.

Intel Desktop Board DX58SO Product Guide  
The Desktop Board supports the PCI Bus Power Management Interface Specification.  
Add-in cards that support this specification can participate in power management and  
can be used to wake the computer.  
+5 V Standby Power Indicator  
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 still present on the board even when the computer appears to be off.  
For example, when this LED is lit, standby power is still present at the memory module  
sockets and the PCI bus connectors.

Desktop Board Features  
Wake from USB  
NOTE  
Wake from USB requires the use of a USB peripheral that supports Wake from USB  
and an operating system that supports Wake from USB.  
USB bus activity wakes the computer from an ACPI S3 state.  
PME# Signal Wake-up Support  
When the PME# signal on the PCI bus is asserted, the computer wakes from an  
ACPI S1, S3, S4, or S5 state.  
WAKE# Signal Wake-up Support  
When the WAKE# signal on the PCI Express bus is asserted, the computer wakes from  
an ACPI S1, S3, S4, or S5 state.  
ENERGY STAR* Capable  
In 2007, the US Department of Energy and the US Environmental Protection Agency  
revised the ENERGY STAR requirements. Intel worked directly with these two  
governmental agencies to define the new requirements. Currently Intel Desktop  
Boards are capable of meeting the new ENERGY STAR requirements depending upon  
system configuration.

Consumer IR (CIR) Headers  
The Desktop Board has two CIR headers: the input or receiver header (Figure 27, D)  
and the output or emitter header (Figure 27, C). The receiver header consists of a  
filtered translated infrared input compliant with Microsoft CIR specifications and a  
“learning” infrared input. The learning input is a high-pass input which the computer  
can use to “learn” to speak the infrared communication language of other user  
remotes. The emitter header consists of two output ports which the computer can use  
to emulate “learned” infrared commands in order to control external electronic  
hardware.  
NOTE  
The Consumer IR option must be enabled in the system BIOS before it can  
function. Press <F2> at boot to enter the system BIOS, and go to Advanced >  
Peripheral Configuration > Enhanced Consumer IR, and set this option to  
Enabled.

Update File or the Iflash Memory Update  
Utility  
You can use the information in this section to update the BIOS using either the Iflash  
Memory Update Utility or the ISO Image BIOS update file.  
Obtaining the BIOS Update File  
You can update to a new version of the BIOS by using the ISO Image BIOS update file  
(recommended), or Iflash BIOS update file.  
The ISO Image BIOS update file is a standardized image of a bootable CD-ROM that  
can be used to create a bootable CD that will update the BIOS.  
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 (including the Intel® Management Engine Firmware Image)  
Intel® Integrator Toolkit Configuration File (optional)  
Intel Flash Memory Update Utility  
You can obtain either of these files through your computer supplier or by navigating to  
the Intel Desktop Board DX58SO page on the Intel World Wide Web site at:  
Navigate to the DX58SO page, click “[view] Latest BIOS updates,” and select the ISO  
Image BIOS Update or Iflash BIOS Update utility file.  
Updating the BIOS with the ISO Image BIOS Update  
File  
The ISO Image BIOS update allows for the update of an Intel® Desktop Board BIOS to  
the latest production release regardless of the operating system installed on the  
computer's hard drive and without the need to remove the BIOS configuration jumper.  
It requires a blank CD-R, a read/writeable CD drive, and software capable of  
uncompressing and writing the ISO image file to CD.  
The image uses ISOLINUX* bootloader and automatically launches a script to upgrade  
the BIOS via the Iflash utility.

Updating the BIOS  
CAUTION  
Do not interrupt the process or the system may not function properly.  
Follow these instructions to upgrade the BIOS using the ISO Image BIOS file:  
1. Download the ISO Image BIOS file.  
2. Using software capable of uncompressing and writing an ISO image file to CD, burn  
the data to a blank CD.  
NOTE  
Copying the ISO Image BIOS file to CD will not work. The completed CD should  
contain multiple files and a directory.  
3. Insert the CD that was created in the CD-ROM drive of the computer to be  
upgraded and boot the system.  
4. When the "Press ENTER to continue booting from CD-ROM" prompt appears, press  
the Enter key. The system will boot from the hard drive if no key is pressed within  
15 seconds.  
5. At the "Welcome to the Intel Desktop Board BIOS Upgrade CD-ROM" page, press

Intel Desktop Board DX58SO Product Guide  
Lead-free 2LI/Pb-free 2LI Board  
The electronics industry is transitioning to European Union (EU) Restriction of  
Hazardous Substances (RoHS)-compliant products. The RoHS legislation restricts the  
use of six materials. One of these restricted materials is lead. Lead is the most  
common and problematic of the RoHS restricted materials.  
There are exemptions in RoHS that allow the use of lead in some very limited locations  
in electronic products. Maximum lead concentration values have been established for  
RoHS-compliant electronic products that allow up to 1000 ppm of lead.  
Lead-free/Pb-free is a nickname that is often used (or misused) for RoHS-compliant  
products. In this case, the term "Lead-free/Pb-free" means that lead has been  
removed where required by the RoHS legislation but still may exist as an impurity  
below 1000 ppm.  
The term "Lead-free 2LI/Pb-free 2LI" means lead-free second level interconnect (2LI).  
The balls, leads, or pads used to connect the component to a printed circuit board are  
lead-free, but the first level interconnect (FLI) is not lead-free. The use of lead in the  
FLI is acceptable because of the RoHS "flip chip" or "die bump" interconnect  
exemption.  
Intel Desktop Board DX58SO is a lead-free second level interconnect product.  
Table 18 shows the lead-free second level interconnect marks as they appear on the  
board and accompanying collateral. These marks are based on JEDEC standard  
J-STD-609, “Marking and Labeling of Components, PCBs and PCBAs to Identify Lead,  
Lead Free and Other Attributes.”  
For more information concerning Intel’s lead-free initiatives, refer to:

Table 18.Lead-Free Second Level Interconnect Marks  
Description  
Mark  
This symbol is used to identify  
electrical and electronic  
assemblies and components in  
which the Pb concentration  
level in the Desktop Board  
substrate and the solder  
connections from the board to  
the components (second-level  
interconnect) is not greater  
than 0.1% by weight  
or  
or  
(1000 ppm).  
Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS)  
EU RoHS  
EU RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC restricts the use of the following six materials in  
various types of electronic and electrical equipment:  
Lead  
Mercury  
Cadmium  
Hexavalent chromium  
Polybrominated biphenyls (PBB)  
Polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE)  
The maximum concentrations allowed are 0.1% or 1000 ppm (except for cadmium,  
which is limited to 0.01% or 100 ppm) by weight of homogeneous material.  
Intel Desktop Board DX58SO complies with these restrictions.

China RoHS  
“China RoHS” is the term used by industry generally to describe legislation  
implemented by the Ministry of Information Industry (MII) in the People's Republic of  
China for the control of pollution by electronic information products (EIP). The official  
title of the China RoHS regulation is “Management Methods for Controlling Pollution by  
Electronic Information Products.”  
China RoHS bans the same substances and has the same limits as EU RoHS.  
However, the China RoHS regulation requires specific product marking and a self-  
declaration of the controlled substances contained in each product.  
Intel Desktop Board DX58SO is a China RoHS-compliant product.  
The required China RoHS mark indicates the product’s Environmental Friendly Usage  
Period (EFUP). The EFUP is defined as the number of years for which listed controlled  
substances will not leak or chemically deteriorate while in the product. The EFUP for  
Intel Desktop Boards has been determined to be 10 years.  
The EFUP for Intel Desktop Board DX58SO is shown in Table 19.
