Technical Reference Mechanical Considerations 2.4.1 Form Factor The board is designed to fit into a Mini-ITX form-factor chassis. Figure 14 illustrates the mechanical form factor for the board. Dimensions are given in inches [millimeters]. The outer dimensions are 6.7 inches by 6.7 inches [170.18 millimeters by 170.18 millimeters].
Intel Desktop Board DH67CF Technical Product Specification Electrical Considerations 2.5.1 Power Supply Considerations CAUTION The +5 V standby line from the power supply must be capable of providing adequate +5 V standby current. Failure to do so can damage the power supply. The total amount of standby current required depends on the wake devices supported and manufacturing options.
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. For a list of chassis that have been tested with Intel desktop boards please refer to the following website: http://www3.intel.com/cd/channel/reseller/asmo-na/eng/tech_reference/53211.htm...
Intel Desktop Board DH67CF Technical Product Specification CAUTION Ensure that proper airflow is maintained in the processor voltage regulator circuit. Failure to do so may result in damage to the voltage regulator circuit. The processor voltage regulator area (shown in Figure 15) can reach a temperature of up to 120 in an open chassis.
For processor case temperature, see processor datasheets and processor specification updates Intel H67 Express Chipset To ensure functionality and reliability, the component is specified for proper operation when Case Temperature is maintained at or below the maximum temperature listed in Table 34.
Intel Desktop Board DH67CF Technical Product Specification Reliability The Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) prediction is calculated using component and subassembly random failure rates. The calculation is based on the Telcordia SR-332, Method I Case 1 50% electrical stress, 55 ºC ambient. The MTBF prediction is used to estimate repair rates and spare parts requirements.
Overview of BIOS Features Introduction The board uses an Intel BIOS that is stored in the Serial Peripheral Interface Flash Memory (SPI Flash) and can be updated using a disk-based program. The SPI Flash contains the BIOS Setup program, POST, the PCI auto-configuration utility, LAN EEPROM information, and Plug and Play support.
6. 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. ® 7. Additional USB legacy feature options can be access by using Intel Integrator Toolkit.
Intel Desktop Board DH67CF Technical Product Specification To install an operating system that supports USB, verify that Legacy USB support in the BIOS Setup program is set to Enabled and follow the operating system’s installation instructions. BIOS Updates The BIOS can be updated using either of the following utilities, which are available on the Intel World Wide Web site: ®...
The Intel Integrator’s Toolkit that is available from Intel can be used to create a custom splash screen. NOTE If you add a custom splash screen, it will share space with the Intel branded logo. Refer to For information about Intel Integrator Toolkit http://developer.intel.com/design/motherbd/software/itk/...
Intel Desktop Board DH67CF Technical Product Specification Boot Options In the BIOS Setup program, the user can choose to boot from a hard drive, optical drive, removable drive, or the network. The default setting is for the optical drive to be the first boot device, the hard drive second, removable drive third, and the network fourth.
It is possible to optimize the boot process to the point where the system boots so quickly that the Intel logo screen (or a custom logo splash screen) will not be seen. Monitors and hard disk drives with minimum initialization times can also contribute to a boot time that might be so fast that necessary logo screens and POST messages cannot be seen.
Intel Desktop Board DH67CF Technical Product Specification 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: •...
Error Messages and Beep Codes Speaker The board-mounted speaker provides audible error code (beep code) information during POST. For information about Refer to The location of the onboard speaker Figure 1, page 13 BIOS Beep Codes Whenever a recoverable error occurs during POST, the BIOS causes the board’s speaker to beep an error message describing the problem (see Table 41).
Intel Desktop Board DH67CF Technical Product Specification Front-panel Power LED Blink Codes Whenever a recoverable error occurs during POST, the BIOS causes the board’s front panel power LED to blink an error message describing the problem (see Table 42). Table 42. Front-panel Power LED Blink Codes...
Error Messages and Beep Codes Port 80h POST Codes During the POST, the BIOS generates diagnostic progress codes (POST codes) to I/O port 80h. If the POST fails, execution stops and the last POST code generated is left at port 80h. This code is useful for determining the point where an error occurred. Displaying the POST codes requires a POST card that can interface with the Low Pin Count (LPC) Debug header.
