® Intel Desktop Board D955XBK Specification Update SPECIFICATION CHANGES The following note will be added to the Technical Product Specification in Section 1.11.2 Audio Connectors: INTEGRATOR’S NOTES Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage desktop board components. Front-panel connectors should provide sufficient protection to prevent ESD damage to components inside the chassis enclosure.
® Intel Desktop Board D955XBK Specification Update ERRATA IEEE-1394b Operation Limited to Maximum 400Mbits/sec Problem: Production IEEE-1394b device driver is not yet available. Implication: IEEE-1394a and IEEE-1394b devices will operate at a maximum 400 Mbits/sec using the driver included with Microsoft* XP Service Pack 2.
NOTE 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.
