Processor/Memory Subsystem 3.2 Intel Processors These systems each feature an Intel processor in a FC-LGA775 package mounted with a heat sink in a zero-insertion force socket. The mounting socket allows the processor to be easily changed for upgrading. 3.2.1 Intel Processor Overview The models covered in this guide support Intel Celeron, Pentium, and Core 2 processors, including the latest Intel Core 2 Duo, and Core 2 Quad processors.
Processor/Memory Subsystem 3.2.2 Processor Changing/Upgrading All models use the LGA775 ZIF (Socket T) mounting socket. These systems require that the processor use an integrated heatsink/fan assembly. A replacement processor must use the same type heatsink/fan assembly as the original to ensure proper cooling. The heatsink and attachment clip are specially designed provide maximum heat transfer from the processor component. CAUTION: Attachment of the heatsink to the processor is critical on these systems.
Processor/Memory Subsystem 3.3 Memory Subsystem All models support non-ECC PC2-5300 and PC2-6400 DDR2 memory. The USDT form factor supports up to eight gigabytes of memory while the SFF and CMT form factors support up to 16 gigabytes of memory.

4 System Support 4.1 Introduction This chapter covers subjects dealing ICH10 with basic system architecture and covers the following topics: ■ PCI bus overview (4.2) ■ System resources (4.3) ■ Real-time clock and configuration memory (4.4) ■ System management (4.5) ■ Register map and miscellaneous functions (4.
System Support Table 4-1 shows the standard configuration of device numbers and IDSEL connections for components and slots residing on a PCI 2.3 bus. Table 4-1 PCI Component Configuration Access Function # Device # PCI Bus # Q45 GMCH: Host/DMI Bridge Host/PCI Expr. Bridge Integrated Graphics Cntlr.
System Support The PCI bus supports a bus master/target arbitration scheme. A bus master is a device that has been granted control of the bus for the purpose of initiating a transaction. A target is a device that is the recipient of a transaction. The Request (REQ), Grant (GNT), and FRAME signals are used by PCI bus masters for gaining access to the PCI bus.
System Support Link Layer The link layer provides data integrity by adding a sequence information prefix and a CRC suffix to the packet created by the transaction layer. Flow-control methods ensure that a packet will only be transferred if the receiving device is ready to accomodate it. A corrupted packet will be automatically re-sent. Physical Layer The PCI Express bus uses a point-to-point, high-speed TX/RX serial lane topology.

System Support 4.4 Real-Time Clock and Configuration Memory The Real-time clock (RTC) and configuration memory (also referred to as “CMOS”) functions are provided by the 82801 component and is MC146818-compatible. As shown in the following figure, the 82801 ICH10 component provides 256 bytes of battery-backed RAM divided into two 128-byte configuration memory areas. The RTC uses the first 14 bytes (00-0Dh) of the standard memory area.
System Support 4.4.2 Standard CMOS Locations Table 4-6 describes standard configuration memory locations 0Ah-3Fh. These locations are accessible through using OUT/IN assembly language instructions using port 70/71h or BIOS function INT15, AX=E823h. Table 4-6.
System Support Power-On / Setup Password These systems include a power-on and setup passwords, which may be enabled or disabled (cleared) through a jumper on the system board. The jumper controls a GPIO input to the 82801 ICH10 that is checked during POST. The password is stored in configuration memory (CMOS) and if enabled and then forgotten by the user will require that either the password be cleared (preferable solution and described below) or the entire CMOS be cleared (refer to section 4.4.1).
System Support Level 0—Cover removal indication is essentially disabled at this level. During POST, status bit is cleared and no other action is taken by BIOS. Level 1—During POST the message “The computer's cover has been removed since the last system start up” is displayed and time stamp in CMOS is updated.
System Support 4.5.3 System Status These systems provide a visual indication of system boot, ROM flash, and operational status through the power LED and internal speaker, as described in Table 4-8. . Table 4-8. System Operational Status LED Indications System Status S0: System on (normal operation) S1: Suspend S3: Suspend to RAM S4: Suspend to disk S5: Soft off Processor thermal shutdown Processor not seated / installed PowerLED Steady green Beeps [2] None Action Required None Blinks green @ .
System Support The RPM (speed) of all fans is the result of the temperature of the CPU as sensed by speed control circuitry. The fans are controlled to run at the slowest (quietest) speed that will maintain proper cooling. Units using chassis and CPU fans must have both fans connected to their corresponding headers to ensure proper cooling of the system. 4.

Input/Output Interfaces 5.2 SATA/eSATA Interfaces These systems provide two, three, or four serial ATA (SATA) interfaces that support tranfer rates up to 3.0 Gb/s and RAID data protection functionality. The SFF and CMT form factors can also support an external SATA (eSATA) device through an optional bracket/cable assembly. 5.2.
Input/Output Interfaces 5.2.2 eSATA interface The SFF and CMT form factors provide a SATA/eSATA port (connector P64 on the system board) that can support an external SATA (eSATA) storage device. The eSATA interface provides higher bandwidth than USB 2.0 and Firewire (1394) interfaces. An optional bracket/cable assembly (Figure 5-2) is required to attach an eSATA device to the SFF or CMT system. Figure 5-2. Optional eSATA Bracket/Cable Assembly.
Input/Output Interfaces 5.3 Diskette Drive Interface The SFF and CMT form factors support a diskette drive through a standard 34-pin diskette drive connector. The diskette drive interface function is integrated into the super I/O component. The internal logic of the I/O controller is software-compatible with standard 82077-type logic. The diskette drive controller has three operational phases in the following order: ■ Command phase—The controller receives the command from the system.
Input/Output Interfaces The SFF and CMT form factors use a standard 34-pin connector for diskette drives (refer to Figure 5-3 and Table 5-3 for the pinout).

Table 5-3.
Input/Output Interfaces 5.4 Serial Interface Systems covered in this guide may include one RS-232-C type serial interface to transmit and receive asynchronous serial data with external devices. Some systems may allow the installation of a second serial interface through an optional bracket/cable assembly that attaches to header P52 on the system board. The serial interface function is provided by the super I/O controller component that includes two NS16C550-compatible UARTs.
Input/Output Interfaces 5.5 Parallel Interface Support The SFF and CMT form factors include a system board header (J50) that supports an optional parallel bracket/cable assembly that provides a parallel interface for a peripheral device such as a printer. The parallel interface supports bi-directional 8-bit parallel data transfers with a peripheral device.
Input/Output Interfaces 5.5.4 Parallel Interface Connector Figure 5-5 and Table 5-5 show the connector and pinout of the parallel connector provided on the optional parallel bracket/cable assembly. Note that some signals are redefined depending on the port's operational mode. Figure 5-5. DB-25 Parallel Interface Connector (as viewed from rear of chassis) Table 5-5.
Input/Output Interfaces 5.6 Keyboard/Pointing Device Interface The keyboard/pointing device interface function is provided by the SIO controller component, which integrates 8042-compatible keyboard controller logic (hereafter referred to as simply the “8042”) to communicate with the keyboard and pointing device using bi-directional serial data transfers. The 8042 handles scan code translation and password lock protection for the keyboard as well as communications with the pointing device. 5.6.
Input/Output Interfaces 5.6.2 Pointing Device Interface Operation The pointing device (typically a mouse) connects to a 6-pin DIN-type connector that is identical to the keyboard connector both physically and electrically. The operation of the interface (clock and data signal control) is the same as for the keyboard. The pointing device interface uses the IRQ12 interrupt. 5.6.
Input/Output Interfaces 5.7 Universal Serial Bus Interface The Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface provides asynchronous/isochronous data transfers with compatible peripherals such as keyboards, printers, or modems. This high-speed interface supports hot-plugging of compatible devices, making possible system configuration changes without powering down or even rebooting systems.

6 Integrated Graphics Subsystem 6.1 Introduction This chapter describes the graphics subsystem that is integrated into the Q45 GMCH component. This graphics subsystem employs the use of system memory to provide efficient, economical 2D and 3D performance. All systems provide dual-monitor support in the standard configuration.
Integrated Graphics Subsystem 6.2 Functional Description The Intel Q45 GMCH component includes an Intel integrated Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 4500 controller (Figure 6-1). The GMA 4500 operates off the internal PCIe x16 bus and can directly drive an external, analog multi-scan monitor and a DisplayPort-compatible digital monitor simultaneously.
Integrated Graphics Subsystem The GMA 4500 uses a portion of system memory for instructions, textures, and frame (display) buffering. Using a process called Dynamic Video Memory Technology (DVMT), the controller dynamically allocates display and texture memory amounts according to the needs of the application running on the system. The total memory allocation is determined by the amount of system memory installed in a system. The video BIOS pre-allocates 8 megabytes of memory during POST.
Integrated Graphics Subsystem 6.3 Display Modes The GMA supports the following standard display modes for 2D video displays: Table 6-2.

Power and Signal Distribution 7.3 Power Control The generation of +3, +5, and +12 VDC is controlled digitally with the PS On signal. When the PS On signal is asserted, all DC voltages are produced. When PS On is de-asserted, only auxiliary power (+5 AUX) is generated. The +5 AUX voltage is always produced as long as the system is connected to a live AC source. 7.3.
Power and Signal Distribution A dual-color LED located on the front panel (bezel) is used to indicate system power status. The front panel (bezel) power LED provides a visual indication of key system conditions listed as follows: Power LED Steady green Blinks green @ 0.
Power and Signal Distribution 7.3.2 Wake Up Events The PS On signal can be activated with a power “wake-up” of the system due to the occurrence of a magic packet, serial port ring, or PCI power management event (PME). These events can be individually enabled through the Setup utility to wake up the system from a sleep (low power) state. Wake-up functionality requires that certain circuits receive auxiliary power while the system is ✎ turned off.
Power and Signal Distribution 7.3.3 Power Management These systems include power management functions designed to conserve energy. These functions are provided by a combination of hardware, firmware (BIOS) and software. The system provides the following power management support: ■ ACPI v2.0 compliant (ACPI modes C1, S1, and S3-S5) ■ APM 1.2 compliant ■ U.S. EPA Energy Star 3.0 and 4.0 compliant Table 7-6 shows the comparison in power states.

8 SYSTEM BIOS 8.1 Introduction The System Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) of the computer is a collection of machine language programs stored as firmware in read-only memory (ROM). The system BIOS includes such functions as Power-On Self Test (POST), PCI device initialization, Plug 'n Play support, power management activities, and the Setup utility. The firmware contained in the system BIOS ROM supports the following operating systems and specifications: ■ DOS 6.
SYSTEM BIOS 8.2 ROM Flashing The system BIOS firmware is contained in a flash ROM device that can be re-written with new BIOS code using a flash utility locally (with F10 setup), with the HPQFlash program in a Windows environment, or with the FLASHBIN.EXE utility in a DOS or DOS-like environment. 8.2.1 Upgrading Upgrading the BIOS is not normally required but may be necessary if changes are made to the unit's operating system, hard drive, or processor.
SYSTEM BIOS 8.3 Boot Functions The BIOS supports various functions related to the boot process, including those that occur during the Power On Self-Test (POST) routine. 8.3.1 Boot Device Order The default boot device order is as follows: 1. CD-ROM drive (EL Torito CD images) 2. Diskette drive (A:) 3. USB device 4. Hard drive (C:) 5. Network interface controller (NIC) above order assumes all devices are present in the initial configuration.
SYSTEM BIOS The BIOS performs memory detection and configuration with the following steps: 1. Program the buffer strength control registers based on SPD data and the DIMM slots that are populated. 2. Determine the common CAS latency that can be supported by the DIMMs. 3. Determine the memory size for each DIMM and program the GMCH accordingly. 4. Enable refresh. 8.3.
SYSTEM BIOS 8.4 Client Management Functions Table 8-2 provides a partial list of the client management BIOS functions supported by the systems covered in this guide. These functions, designed to support intelligent manageability applications, are HP-specific unless otherwise indicated. Table 8-2. Client Management Functions (INT15) AX Function Mode E800h Get system ID Real, 16-, & 32-bit Prot. E813h Get monitor data Real, 16-, & 32-bit Prot. E814h Get system revision Real, 16-, & 32-bit Prot.
SYSTEM BIOS 8.4.1 System ID and ROM Type Diagnostic applications can use the INT 15, AX=E800h BIOS function to identify the type of system. This function will return the system ID in the BX register. Systems have the following IDs and ROM family types: Table 8-3 System ID Numbers System ID Subsystem Device ID USDT 3033h 3036h SFF 3031h 3034h CMT: 3032h 3035h System (Form Factor) NOTE: For all systems, BIOS ROM Family = 786G1, PnP ID = CPQ0968, and Subsystem vendor ID = 103Ch.
SYSTEM BIOS 8.5 SMBIOS In support of the DMI specification, PnP functions 50h and 51h are used to retrieve the SMBIOS data. Function 50h retrieves the number of structures, size of the largest structure, and SMBIOS version. Function 51h retrieves a specific structure. This system supports SMBIOS version 2.
SYSTEM BIOS 8.6 USB Legacy Support The system BIOS ROM checks the USB port, during POST, for the presence of a USB keyboard. This allows a system with only a USB keyboard to be used during ROM-based setup and also on a system with an OS that does not include a USB driver. On such a system a keystroke will generate an SMI and the SMI handler will retrieve the data from the device and convert it to PS/2 data. The data will be passed to the keyboard controller and processed as in the PS/2 interface.
