monitor is attached, regardless of the DVI-D connector status.

PCI Express* x16 Graphics

Intel Core i7, Intel Core i5, Intel Core i3, and Intel Pentium processors in an LGA1155

package support discrete add-in graphics cards via the PCI Express 2.0 x16 add-in

card connector. The board supports the following PCI Express speeds:

• PCI Express 2 frequency of 2.5 GHz which results in 5.0 Gb/s in each direction

(500 MB/s) per lane. The maximum theoretical bandwidth on the interface is

8 GB/s in each direction, simultaneously, when operating in x16 mode.

• PCI Express 1 frequency of 1.25 GHz resulting in 2.5 Gb/s each direction

(250 MB/s) per lane. The maximum theoretical bandwidth on the interface is

4 GB/s in each direction, simultaneously, when operating in x16 mode.

Audio Subsystem

The board supports Intel High Definition Audio through a Realtek ALC892 audio codec.

The Realtek ALC892-based audio subsystem provides the following features:

• 6-channel audio with independent multi-streaming stereo

• Advanced jack sense for the back panel audio connectors that enables the audio

codec to recognize the device that is connected to an audio port. The back panel

audio connectors are capable of retasking according to the user’s definition, or can

be automatically switched depending on the recognized device type.

• Stereo input and output via back panel connectors

• Headphone and Mic in functions for front panel audio connectors

• A signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio of 90 dB

The board provides onboard audio headers and back panel connectors.

Desktop Board Features

17

The onboard audio headers include the following:

• Front panel audio (a 2 x 5 pin header that provides headphone and mic in signals

for front panel audio connectors)

• S/PDIF audio header (1 x 4 pin header)

Front panel headphone output is supported by a separate audio channel pair, allowing

multi-streaming audio configurations such as simultaneous surround sound playback

and stereo audio conferencing (through speakers connected to the back panel audio

connectors and a headset connected to the front panel audio connectors).

The onboard internal mono speaker header allows connection to an internal, low-

power speaker for basic system sound capability. The subsystem is capable of driving

a speaker load of 8 Ω at 1 W (rms) or 4 Ω at 1.5 W (rms).

The onboard S/PDIF header allows connection to coaxial or optical adapters for digital

audio output.

The back panel audio connectors are configurable through the audio device drivers.

Audio software and drivers are available from http://downloadcenter.intel.com/

.

LAN Subsystem

The LAN subsystem includes:

• Intel 82579V Gigabit (10/100/1000 Mb/s) Ethernet LAN controller

• RJ-45 LAN connector with integrated status LEDs

LAN software and drivers are available at http://downloadcenter.intel.com/

.

Two LEDs are built into the RJ-45 LAN connector located on the back panel (see

Figure 2). These LEDs indicate the status of the LAN as shown in Table 3.

N/A Off 10 Mb/s data rate

Green On 100 Mb/s data rate

B (Link Speed)

Yellow On 1000 Mb/s data rate

USB Support

The Desktop Board supports USB 2.0. There are 6 USB 2.0 ports (four ports routed to

back panel connectors and two ports routed to an onboard header). The USB 2.0

ports are high-speed, full-speed, and low-speed capable. USB 2.0 support requires

both an operating system and drivers that fully support USB 2.0 transfer rates.

SATA Support

The board provides four SATA 3.0 Gb/s channels, through the PCH, which support one

device per channel.

SATA RAID

The Intel H61 PCH supports Intel

®

Rapid Storage Technology (Intel

®

RST) which

enables the following RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Drives) levels:

• RAID 0 - data striping

• RAID 1 - data mirroring

• RAID 0+1 (or RAID 10) - data striping and mirroring

• RAID 5 - distributed parity

NOTE

In order to use supported RAID features, you must first enable RAID in the BIOS.

Also, during Microsoft Windows XP installation, you must press F6 to install the RAID

drivers. See your Microsoft Windows XP documentation for more information about

installing drivers during installation. Both Microsoft Windows Vista and Microsoft

Windows 7 include the necessary RAID drivers for both AHCI and RAID without the

need to install separate RAID drivers using the F6 switch in the operating system

installation process.

Desktop Board Features

19

Intel

®

Rapid Recover Technology (Intel

®

RRT)

The board incorporates Intel

®

Rapid Recover Technology (Intel

®

RRT). Intel RRT is a

feature of Intel RST. Intel RRT uses RAID 1 (mirroring) functionality to copy data from

a designated master drive to a designated recovery drive. The master drive data can

be copied to the recovery drive either continuously or on request.

When using the continuous update policy, changes made to the data on the master

drive while the recovery drive is disconnected or offline are automatically copied to the

recovery drive when it is reconnected. When using the on request update policy, the

master drive data can be restored to a previous state by copying the data on the

recovery drive back to the master drive.

Expandability

Intel Desktop Board DH61WW provides the following expansion capability:

• One PCI Express 2.0 x16 interface

• One PCI Express 2.0 x1 interface

• One Conventional PCI bus interface

Legacy I/O

The board’s Legacy I/O Controller provides the following legacy features:

• PS/2 back panel connector for mouse/keyboard support

• One serial port header

• One parallel port connector on the back panel

• Serial IRQ interface compatible with serialized IRQ support for Conventional PCI

bus systems

• Intelligent power management, including a programmable wake-up event interface

• Conventional PCI bus power management support

The BIOS Setup program provides configuration options for the Legacy I/O controller.

BIOS

The BIOS provides the Power-On Self-Test (POST), the BIOS Setup program, and the

PCI/PCI Express and SATA auto-configuration utilities. The BIOS is stored in the Serial

Peripheral Interface (SPI) Flash memory device.

The BIOS can be updated by following the instructions in Chapter 3 starting on

page 59.

Intel Desktop Board DH61WW Product Guide

20

SATA Auto Configuration

If you install a SATA device (such as a hard disk drive) in your computer, the 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 a

SATA device. You can override the auto-configuration options by specifying manual

configuration in the BIOS Setup program.

PCI*/PCI Express Auto Configuration

If you install a Conventional PCI or PCI Express add-in card in your computer, the

PCI/PCI Express auto-configuration utility in the BIOS automatically detects and

configures the resources (IRQs, DMA channels, and I/O space) for that add-in card.

You do not need to run the BIOS Setup program after you install a Conventional PCI or

PCI Express add-in card.

BIOS 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 BIOS 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.

For instructions on resetting the password, go to Clearing Passwords on page 52.

Trusted Platform Module (TPM) Support

Intel Desktop Board DH61WW provides a header to connect to an external TPM. The

header is shown in Figure 1, P on page 12 and the header pinout is listed in Table 8 on

page 45. TPMs are designed to enhance platform security by providing a

protected

space for key operations and other security critical tasks. Using both hardware and

software, the TPM protects encryption and signature keys at their most vulnerable

stages—operations when the keys are being used unencrypted in plain-text form.

TPMs shield unencrypted keys and platform authentication information from software-

based attacks.
