 Desktop Board Features

Input/Output (I/O) Controller

The SMSC LPC47M102 ultra I/O controller handles the exchange of information between the
processor and external devices, such as a mouse, keyboard, or printer that are connected to the
computer. The controller features the following:
• Two serial ports
• One parallel port with Extended Capabilities Port (ECP) and Enhanced Parallel Port (EPP)
support
• Mouse and keyboard controller
• Diskette drive controller supporting two drives on one cable
• MIDI/Game port
• Fan control

Real-Time Clock
The desktop board has a time-of-day clock and 100-year calendar that will rollover to 2000 at the
turn of the century. A battery on the desktop board keeps the clock current when the computer is
turned off.

✏ NOTE
The recommended method of accessing the date in systems with Intel desktop boards is indirectly
from the Real-Time Clock (RTC) via the BIOS. The BIOS on Intel desktop boards contains a
century checking and maintenance feature that checks the least two significant digits of the year
stored in the RTC during each BIOS request (INT 1Ah) to read the date and, if less than 80 (i.e.,
1980 is the first year supported by the PC), updates the century byte to 20. This feature enables
operating systems and applications using the BIOS date/time services to reliably manipulate the
year as a four-digit value.
For more information about the year 2000 capability of systems with Intel desktop boards, see the
Intel World Wide Web site:
http://support.intel.com/support/year2000/index.htm

13
Intel Desktop Board CC820 Product Guide

USB Support
The desktop board has two USB ports. You can connect two USB peripheral devices directly to
the computer without an external hub. To attach more than two devices, connect an external hub to
either of the built-in ports. The desktop board supports the universal host controller interface
(UHCI) and takes advantage of standard software drivers written to be compatible with UHCI.

✏ NOTE
Computer systems that have an unshielded cable attached to a USB port might not meet FCC
Class B requirements, even if no device or a low-speed USB device is attached to the cable. Use a
shielded cable that meets the requirements for a full-speed USB device.

PCI Enhanced IDE Interface

The PCI enhanced IDE interface handles the exchange of information between the processor and
peripheral devices like hard disks, CD-ROM drives, and Iomega Zip† drives inside the computer.
The interface supports:
• Up to four IDE devices (such as hard drives)
• ATAPI devices (such as CD-ROM drives)
• PIO Mode 3 and PIO Mode 4 devices
• Ultra ATA/33 and Ultra ATA/66
• Support for laser servo (LS-120) drives

Expansion Slots
The desktop board has five PCI expansion slots, an AGP universal connector, and an AMR
connector.

Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP)

The AGP is a high-performance interface for graphics-intensive applications, such as 3D graphics.
AGP is independent of the PCI bus and is intended for exclusive use with graphical display
devices.
The AGP universal connector supports AGP 1X, 2X, and 4X add-in cards. The AGP card
retention mechanism is used only with cards with retention notches (see Figure 3 on Page 22). For
information about installing the AGP card retention mechanism and an AGP card, see Chapter 2.

14
 Desktop Board Features

Audio Subsystem (Optional)

The audio subsystem features the following:
• Creative Labs ES1373 digital controller with Crystal Semiconductor CS4297 (A) codec
• Back panel and onboard audio connectors

✏ NOTE
The line out connector, located on the back panel, is designed to power either headphones or
amplified speakers only. Poor audio quality may occur if passive (non-amplified) speakers are
connected to this output.
Audio drivers and utilities are available from Intel’s World Wide Web site:
http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/

BIOS
The BIOS provides the power-on self-test (POST), the BIOS Setup program, the PCI and IDE
auto-configuration utilities, and the video BIOS. The BIOS is stored in the Intel 82802AB
Firmware Hub.
The BIOS can be upgraded by following the instructions in Chapter 3.

PCI Auto Configuration

If you install a PCI add-in board in your computer, the PCI auto-configuration utility in the BIOS
automatically detects and configures the resources (IRQs, DMA channels, and I/O space) for that
add-in board. You do not need to run the BIOS Setup program after you install a PCI add-in board.

IDE Auto Configuration

If you install an IDE device (such as, a hard drive) in your computer, the IDE 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 an IDE device.

15
Intel Desktop Board CC820 Product Guide

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
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.

Enhanced Diagnostic LEDs

Four dual-colored enhanced diagnostic LEDs are located on the backpanel. The LEDs report
POST failures. See Page 66 for information about the LEDs.

Speaker
A 47 Ω inductive speaker is mounted on the desktop board. The speaker provides audible error
code (beep code) information during the power-on self-test (POST).

Battery
A battery on the desktop board keeps the values in CMOS RAM and the clock current when the
computer is turned off. See Chapter 2 for instructions on how to replace the battery.

 Desktop Board Features

Power Management Features

Power management is implemented at several levels, including:
• Software support:
 Advanced Power Management (APM)
 Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI)
• Hardware support:
 Wake on LAN technology
 Instantly Available technology
 Wake on Ring
 Resume on Ring
If the board is used with an ACPI-aware operating system, the BIOS can provide ACPI support.
Otherwise, it defaults to APM support.
The BIOS supports ACPI provided the operating system is ACPI-aware. Otherwise, the BIOS
defaults to APM.

Wake on LAN Technology

The Wake on LAN technology connector can be used with PCI bus network adapters that have a
remote wake-up connector. Network adapters that are PCI 2.2 compliant assert the wake-up signal
using the PCI bus signal PME# (pin A19 on the PCI bus connectors). See Figure 18 on Page 59 for
the location of the Wake on LAN technology connector on the desktop board.

CAUTION
For Wake on LAN technology, the 5-V standby line for the power supply must be capable of
providing adequate +5-V standby current. Failure to provide adequate standby current when
implementing Wake on LAN technology can damage the power supply.

Instantly Available Technology

Instantly Available 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. When signaled by a wake-up
device or event, the system quickly returns to its last known awake state.
The desktop board standby power indicator, shown in Figure 2 on Page 18, is lit when the memory
modules and PCI bus connectors have power, even when the computer appears to be off.
If the system has a dual-colored power LED on the front panel, the sleep state is indicated by the

Figure 2. Location of Standby Power Indicator

CAUTION
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, etc.
Calculate the standby current requirements using the steps described below.
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 as outlined in Table 5.
Some values are set per specifications such as PCI 2.2. The values given in the table for Instantly
Available are for a system containing a single wake-enabled PCI (or AGP) device and five non-
wake devices. Actual measurements may vary.

 Desktop Board Features

Estimating Standby Current

To estimate the amount of stand by current required for a particular system configuration:
1. From the PCI 2.2 row, determine the number of supported wake-enabled adapters required
(PCI and AGP) and multiply by 375 mA.
2. Determine the number of non-wake adapters and multiply by 20 mA.
3. Total the values derived from steps 1 and 2 and replace the PCI 2.2 value (currently 475 mA)
in the table with the new value.
4. Add the rows to the estimated standby current required to support Instantly Available
technology.
5. Add the current required to support the optional features.
6. Total the estimated standby current required to support Instantly Available technology and the
current required to support the optional features.

Table 5. Standby Current Requirements

Instantly Available Current Description Current Requirements (mA)
Support (Estimated) Total for CC820 desktop board 695
Optional Current Support Description Current Requirements (mA)
(Add to Instantly Available total.) AMR* 150
(See instructions above.)
PS/2 Ports* 300
USB Ports* 507.5 (max)
* Dependent upon system configuration

✏ NOTE
PCI requirements are calculated by totaling the following:
• One wake-enabled device @ 375 mA
• Five non wake-enabled devices @ 20 mA each
PS/2 Ports requirements per the IBM PS/2 Port Specification (Sept 1991):
• Keyboard @ 275 mA
• Mouse @ 70 mA
USB requirements are calculated by totaling the following:
• One wake-enabled device @ 500 mA
• USB hub @ 100 mA
• Three USB non-wake-enabled devices @ 2.5 mA each
The USB ports are limited to a combined total of 700 mA.

Wake on Ring
The operation of Wake on Ring can be summarized as follows:
• Powers up the computer from either APM soft-off mode or the ACPI S3 state.
• Requires two calls to access the computer:
 The first call powers up the computer.
 The second call enables access (when the appropriate software is loaded).
• Detects incoming call differently for external as opposed to internal modems:
 For external modems, hardware on the desktop board monitors the ring indicate (RI) input
of serial port A (serial port B does not support this feature).
 For internal modems, a cable must be routed from the modem to the Wake on Ring
connector.
See Figure 18 on Page 59 for the location of the Wake on Ring connector on the desktop board.

Resume on Ring
The operation of Resume on Ring can be summarized as follows:
• Resumes operation from either the APM sleep mode or the ACPI S1 state
• Requires only one call to access the computer
• Detects incoming call similarly for external and internal modems; does not use the Wake on
Ring connector
• Requires modem interrupt be unmasked for correct operation

You can use the BIOS Setup program to change the configuration information and boot sequence
for the computer. This chapter tells you how to access the BIOS Setup program and lists Setup
features, options, and default settings.

✏ NOTE
For reference purposes, you should write down the current Setup settings. When you make
changes to the settings, update this record.

BIOS Setup Program Modes

The BIOS Setup program has three modes of operation:
• Normal mode for normal operations
• Configure mode for clearing passwords (See Chapter 2 for instructions)
• Recovery mode for BIOS recovery
The BIOS Setup program operating mode is controlled by the setting of the configuration jumper
block. The jumper is set to normal mode at the factory.

A Error Messages and Indicators

The Desktop Board CC820 reports POST errors in three ways:

• By sounding a beep code
• By lighting the enhanced diagnostic LEDs
• By displaying an error message on the monitor

BIOS Beep Codes

The BIOS beep codes are listed in Table 28. The BIOS also issues a beep code (one long tone
followed by two short tones) during POST if the video configuration fails (a faulty video card or
no card installed) or if an external ROM module does not properly checksum to zero.

Table 28. Beep Codes

Number of Beeps Description
1 Refresh failure
2 Parity cannot be reset
3 First 64 K memory failure
4 Timer not operational
5 Processor failure (Reserved; not used)
6 8042 GateA20 cannot be toggled (memory failure or not present)
7 Exception interrupt error
8 Display memory R/W error
9 (Reserved; not used)
10 CMOS Shutdown register test error
11 Invalid BIOS (such as, POST module not found)

65
Intel Desktop Board CC820 Product Guide

Enhanced Diagnostic LEDs

Four dual-colored enhanced diagnostic LEDs are located on the backpanel (see Figure 20). If the
BIOS hangs during the POST, the state of the LEDs indicates which BIOS operation was in
progress when the BIOS hung. Table 29 lists the valid states of the LEDs.

Installation Instructions

CAUTION
Follow these guidelines to meet safety and regulatory requirements when installing this board
assembly.
Read and adhere to all of these instructions and the instructions supplied with the chassis and
associated modules. If the instructions for the chassis are inconsistent with these instructions or
the instructions for associated modules, contact the supplier’s technical support to find out how
you can ensure that your computer meets safety and regulatory requirements. If you do not follow
these instructions and the instructions provided by chassis and module suppliers, you increase
safety risk and the possibility of noncompliance with regional laws and regulations.

Ensure Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)

Before computer integration, make sure that the power supply and other modules have passed
EMC testing using a desktop board with a processor from the same family and operating at the
same (or higher) speed as the processor on this desktop board.
In the installation instructions for the host chassis, power supply, and other modules pay close
attention to the following:
• Certifications
• External I/O cable shielding and filtering
• Mounting, grounding, and bonding requirements
• Keying connectors when mating the wrong connectors could be hazardous
If the power supply and other modules have not passed applicable EMC testing before integration,
EMC testing must be conducted on a representative sample of the newly completed computer.

Ensure Chassis and Accessory Module Certifications

Make sure that the chassis, any added subassembly, such as a board or drive assembly, and internal
or external wiring, are certified for the region(s) where the end-product will be used. Marks on the
product are proof of certification. Certification marks are as follows:
In Europe
The CE marking signifies compliance with all relevant European requirements. If the chassis does
not bear the CE marking, obtain a supplier’s Declaration of Conformity to the appropriate
standards required by the European EMC Directive and Low Voltage Directive. Other directives,
such as the Machinery and Telecommunications Directives, might also apply depending on the
type of product. No regulatory assessment is necessary for low voltage DC wiring used internally
or wiring used externally when provided with appropriate overcurrent protection. Appropriate
protection is provided by a maximum 8-A current limiting circuit or a maximum 5-A fuse or
positive temperature coefficient (PTC) resistor. All Intel desktop boards now have PTCs on all
external ports that provide DC power externally.

Intel Desktop Board CC820 Product Guide

In the United States

A certification mark by a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL) such as UL, CSA, or
ETL signifies compliance with safety requirements. External wiring must be UL Listed and
suitable for the intended use. Internal wiring must be UL Listed or Recognized and rated for
applicable voltages and temperatures. The FCC mark (Class A for commercial or industrial only or
Class B for residential) signifies compliance with electromagnetic interference requirements.
In Canada
A nationally recognized certification mark such as CSA or cUL signifies compliance with safety
requirements. No regulatory assessment is necessary for low voltage DC wiring used internally or
wiring used externally when provided with appropriate overcurrent protection. Appropriate
protection is provided by a maximum 8-A current limiting circuit or a maximum 5-A fuse or
positive temperature coefficient (PTC) resistor. All Intel desktop boards now have PTCs on all
external ports that provide DC power externally.

Prevent Power Supply Overload

Unless the power supply has inherent overcurrent protection, do not overload the power supply
output. To avoid overloading the power supply, make sure that the calculated total current load of
all the modules within the computer is less than the output current rating of the power supply. If
you do not do this, the power supply could overheat, catch fire, or damage the insulation that
separates hazardous AC line circuitry from low-voltage user accessible circuitry. If the load drawn
by a module cannot be determined by the markings and instructions supplied with the module,
contact the module supplier’s technical support.

Place Battery Marking on the Computer

There is insufficient space on this desktop board to provide instructions for replacing and disposing
of the battery. The following warning must be placed permanently and legibly on the chassis as
near as possible to the battery.

WARNINGS
Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.
Replace with only the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of
used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Use Only for Intended Applications

This desktop board was evaluated for use in computers that will be installed in offices, homes,
schools, computer rooms, and similar locations. The suitability of this product for other
applications, (such as medical, industrial, alarm systems, and test equipment) might require further
evaluation.
