Thermal Considerations
The development kit is shipped with a BTX TYPE I heatsink/fan thermal solution for
installation on the processor. BTX systems are designed so that all the high power
components are in-line and can be cooled using a single, continuous airflow stream.
The BTX Thermal Module Assembly (TMA) provides airflow to the central processing
unit (microprocessor) and its voltage regulation (VR), which is located at the front of
the system, and then to the memory controller (G)MCH, Input/Output controller (ICH),
and the add-in card (AIC) in the first slot position. This same airflow supply pattern is
available in all BTX system designs.
The Thermal Module Assembly (TMA) consists of 4 main parts:
• The 92mm four-wire fan
• The plastic duct assembly (black)
• The heatsink (copper and aluminum)
• The metal retention clip (for holding the heatsink to the plastic duct assembly)

3.2
BIOS Features
BIOS Overview
3.2.1
This development kit ships pre-installed with Intel BIOS. The BIOS provides an
industry-standard BIOS platform to run most standard operating systems, including
Windows* 2000/XP/XP Embedded, Linux*, WEPOS and others.
The BIOS is stored in a 16 Mb SPI flash at the primary SPI flash footprint at XU3LB and
can be updated using a BIOS flash programming tool. FWH will not be supported
The BIOS displays a message during POST identifying the type of BIOS and a revision
code. The BIOS Setup program can be used to view and change the BIOS settings for
the computer. The BIOS Setup program is accessed by pressing the <DELETE> key
after the Power-On Self-Test (POST) memory test begins and before the screen goes
black before booting any device. The menu bar is shown below.

3.2.2
Resource Configuration
PCI Auto Configuration
3.2.2.1
When a PCI card is added and the system is turned on, the BIOS automatically
configures interrupts, the I/O space, and other system resources. Any interrupts set to
AVAILABLE in Setup are considered to be available for use by add-in card. There is one
32/33 PCI add-in card socket on the board.
3.2.2.2
SATA Drive Configuration
If you select AUTO in the BIOS Setup program, the BIOS automatically sets up the
SATA drive configuration with independent I/O channel support. The interface also
supports second-generation Serial ATA drives. The BIOS determines the capabilities of
each drive and configures them to optimize capacity and performance.
To take advantage of the high capacities typically available today, hard drives are
automatically configured for Logical Block Addressing (LBA) and to PIO Mode 3 or 4,
depending on the capability of the drive. You can override the auto-configuration
options by specifying MANUAL CONFIGURATION in the BIOS setup program.
Note:
This board only supports Serial ATA drives.
3.2.3
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.
Intel® Q965 Express Chipset
DM
27
October 2007
Order Number: 315664-002US
Development Kit Software and BIOS Features—Intel Q965 Express Chipset
Using SMBIOS, a system administrator can obtain the system types, capabilities,
operational status, and installation dates for system components. The MIF database
defines the data and provides the method for accessing this information. The BIOS
enables applications such as third-party management software to use SMBIOS. The
BIOS stores and reports the following SMBIOS information:
• BIOS data, such as the BIOS revision level
• Fixed-system data, such as peripherals, serial numbers, and asset tags
• Resource data, such as memory size, cache size, and processor clock frequency
• Dynamic data, such as event detection and error logging
Non-Plug and play operating systems such as Microsoft Windows NT*, require an
additional interface for obtaining the SMBIOS information. The BIOS supports an
SMBIOS table interface for such operating systems. Using this support, an SMBIOS
service-level application running on a non-Plug and Play operating system can obtain
the SMBIOS information.
3.2.4
Legacy USB Support
Legacy USB support enables USB devices to be used even when the operating system’s
USB drivers are not yet available. Legacy USB support is used to access the BIOS Setup
program, and to install an operating system that supports USB.
Legacy USB support operates as follows:
1. When you apply power to the computer, legacy support is disabled.
2. POST begins.
3. Legacy USB support is enabled by the BIOS allowing you to use a USB keyboard to
enter and configure the BIOS Setup program and the maintenance menu.
4. POST completes.
5. The operating system loads. While the operating system is loading, USB keyboards
and mice are recognized and may be used to configure the operating system.
After the operating system loads the USB drivers, all legacy and non-legacy USB
devices are recognized by the operating system, and Legacy USB support from the
BIOS is no longer used.
To install an operating system that supports USB, follow the operating system’s
installation instructions.
3.2.5
Boot Options
In the BIOS Setup program, the user can choose to boot from a diskette drive, hard
drive, CD-ROM, or from the network. The default setting is for the Hard Drive to be the
first, and the CD-ROM to be the second. There is no third or fourth boot option.
3.2.5.1
CD-ROM Boot
Booting from CD-ROM is supported in compliance to the El Torito bootable CD-ROM
format specification. Under the Boot menu in the BIOS Setup program, CD-ROM is
listed as a boot device. Boot devices are defined in priority order. Accordingly, if there is
not a bootable CD in the CD-ROM drive, the system will attempt to boot from the next
defined drive.

3.2.5.2
3.2.5.3
Network Boot
The network can be selected as a boot device. This selection allows booting from the
on-board LAN or a network add-in card with a remote boot ROM installed. In order to
boot from the LAN you will have to enter the BIOS and select LAN boot as your first
boot device.
Booting without Attached Devices
For use in embedded applications, the BIOS has been designed so that after passing
the POST, the operating system loader is invoked even if the following devices are not
present:
• Video adapter
• Keyboard
• Mouse
3.2.5.4
Changing the Boot Device
Pressing the <Delete> key during POST causes the BIOS menu to be displayed. Using
your arrow keys move over to <BOOT> and then arrow down to <Boot Device Priority>
and then select which device you would like to boot first and second.
Note:
Please follow the instructions on the right side of the BIOS screen to navigate and
change BIOS settings.
3.2.6
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.
• The user password gives restricted access to view and change Setup options in the
BIOS Setup program. This is the user mode.
• If only the supervisor password is set, pressing the <Enter> key at the password
prompt of the BIOS Setup program allows the user restricted access to Setup.
• If both the supervisor and user passwords are set, users can enter either the
supervisor password or the user password to access Setup. Users have access to
Setup respective to which password is entered. Setting the user password restricts
who can boot the computer. The password prompt will be 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, the user can enter either
password to boot the computer.
For enhanced security, use different passwords for the supervisor and user passwords.
Valid password characters are A-Z, a-z, and 0-9. Passwords may be up to 16 characters
in length.

recovery capabilities for networked platforms. With Intel AMT, IT organizations can
easily get accurate platform information, and can perform remote updating,
diagnostics, debugging, and repair of a system, regardless of the state of the operating
system and the power state of the system. Intel AMT enables IT organizations to
discover, heal, and protect all of their computing assets, regardless of system state in
the manner described below.
(1) Discovering hardware and software computing assets:
• Intel AMT stores hardware and software asset information in non-volatile memory
and allows IT to read the asset information anytime, even if the PC is off.
• Users cannot remove or prevent IT organization access to the information because
it does not rely on software agents.
(2) Healing systems remotely, regardless of the operating system or system state:
• Intel AMT provides out-of-band diagnostics and recovery capabilities for IT
organizations to remotely diagnose and repair PCs after software, operating
system, or hardware failures.
• Alerting and event logging help IT organizations detect and diagnose problems
quickly to reduce end-user downtime.
(3) Protecting the enterprise against malicious software attacks:
• Intel AMT helps IT organizations keep software versions and virus protection
consistent and up-to-date across the enterprise.
• Version information is stored in non-volatile memory for access anytime by third-
party software to check and, if necessary, wake a system to perform off-hours
updates.
(4) The key features of Intel AMT include:
• Secure Out of Band (OOB) system management that allows remote management of
PCs regardless of system power or operating system state.

Memory Configurations
The Intel Q965 MCH supports two types of memory organization:
Dual channel (Interleaved) mode. This mode offers the highest throughput for real
world applications. Dual channel mode is enabled when the installed memory capacities
of both DIMM channels are equal. Technology and device width can vary from one
channel to the other but the installed memory capacity for each channel must be equal.
If different speeds DIMMs are used between channels, the slowest memory timing will
be used.
Single channel (Asymmetric) mode. This mode is equivalent to single channel
bandwidth operation for real world applications. This mode is used when only a single
DIMM is installed or the memory capacities are unequal. Technology and device width
can vary from one channel to the other. If different speeds DIMMs are used between
channels, the slowest memory timing will be used.

Error Messages and Beep Codes
This chapter describes the various progress codes that are reported by the BIOS and
the corresponding LED Codes.
The LED codes are 8-bit quantities and can be used as Port 80 codes if the platform
supports Port 80 capturing device. The higher nibble alone is used for a 4-bit LED.
The Status code driver is responsible for translating the Standard Progress/Error code
into a one-byte value. The particular enumeration scheme is set up so that the Port 80
code values will typically increase during the boot process. The early codes are for
subsystems closer to the processor and the later codes are for peripherals.
Typically, the order of initialization is Processor -> Memory -> Busses -> Output/Input
Devices -> Boot Devices
or
Processor -> Memory -> Recovery -> Busses ->
Output/Input Devices -> Boot Devices
The sequence of POST is platform-specific.
