Desktop Board Features
USB 2.0 Support
The Desktop Board supports up to eight USB 2.0 ports (four ports routed to the back
panel and four ports routed to two internal headers) via ICH7. USB 2.0 ports are
backward compatible with USB 1.1 devices. USB 1.1 devices will function normally at
USB 1.1 speeds.
USB 2.0 support requires both an operating system and drivers that fully support
USB 2.0 transfer rates. Disabling Hi-Speed USB in the BIOS reverts all USB 2.0 ports
to USB 1.1 operation. This may be required to accommodate operating systems that
do not support USB 2.0.
Serial ATA
The Desktop Board supports three Serial ATA channels (3.0 Gb/s) via ICH7, connecting
one device per channel.
Expandability
For system expansion, the Desktop Board includes one PCI bus connector.
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
Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) Flash component.
Serial ATA and IDE Auto Configuration
If you install a Serial ATA or IDE device (such as a hard 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
Serial ATA or IDE device. You can override the auto-configuration options by
specifying manual configuration in the BIOS Setup program.
PCI* Auto Configuration
If you install a PCI add-in card 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 card. You do not need to run the BIOS Setup program
after you install a PCI add-in card.
17
Intel Desktop Board DG41MJ 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 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.
Hardware Management Features
The hardware management features of Intel Desktop Board DG41MJ enable the board
to be compatible with the Wired for Management (WfM) specification. The board has
several hardware management features including the following:
•

ENERGY STAR capable
ACPI
ACPI gives the operating system direct control over the power management and Plug
and Play functions of a computer. The use of ACPI with the Desktop Board requires an
operating system that provides full ACPI support.
Hardware Support
Power Connectors
ATX12V-compliant power supplies can turn off the computer power through system
control. When an ACPI-enabled computer receives the correct command, the power
supply removes all non-standby voltages.
When resuming from an AC power failure, the computer returns to the power state it
was in before power was interrupted (either on or off). The computer’s response can
be set by using the Last Power State feature in the BIOS Setup program’s Boot menu.
location of the power connectors.
19
Intel Desktop Board DG41MJ Product Guide
Fan Headers
The function/operation of the fans is as follows:
•
•
•
The fans are on when the computer is in the ACPI S0 state.
The fans are off when the computer is in the ACPI S3, S4, or S5 state.
The processor fan header is wired to a fan tachometer input. The chassis fan
header has an independent tachometer input to the hardware monitoring and fan
control device.
•
•
All fan headers support closed-loop fan control that can adjust the fan speed
according to thermal conditions.
All fan headers have a +12 V DC connection.
The Desktop Board has a 4-pin processor fan header and a 3-pin chassis fan header.
LAN Wake Capabilities
CAUTION
For LAN wake capabilities, the 5 V standby line for the power supply must be capable
of delivering adequate +5 V standby current. Failure to provide adequate standby
current when using this feature can damage the power supply.
LAN wakeup capabilities enable remote wake-up of the computer through a network.
The LAN subsystem monitors network traffic and upon detecting a Magic Packet*
frame, it asserts a wake-up signal that powers up the computer.
Instantly Available PC Technology
CAUTIONS
For Instantly Available PC technology, the 5 V standby line for the power supply must
be capable of delivering adequate +5 V standby current. Failure to provide adequate
standby current when using this feature can damage the power supply and/or effect
ACPI S3 sleep state functionality.
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.
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.
Instantly Available PC 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. If
the computer has a dual-colored power LED on the front panel, the sleep state is
indicated by the LED turning amber. When signaled by a wake-up device or event, the
computer quickly returns to its last known awake state.
20
Desktop Board Features
The Desktop Board supports the PCI Bus Power Management Interface Specification.
Add-in cards that support this specification can participate in power management and
can be used to wake the computer.
+5 V Standby Power Indicator LED
CAUTION
If the AC power has been switched off and the standby power indicator is still lit,
disconnect the power cord before installing or removing any devices connected to the
board. Failure to do so could damage the board and any attached devices.
standby power still present on the board even when the computer appears to be off.
For example, when this LED is lit, standby power is still present at the memory module
sockets and the PCI bus connector.

Update File or the Iflash Memory Update
Utility
You can use the information in this section to update the BIOS using either the Iflash
Memory Update Utility or the ISO Image BIOS update file.
Obtaining the BIOS Update File
You can update to a new version of the BIOS by using the ISO Image BIOS update file
(recommended), or Iflash BIOS update file.
The ISO Image BIOS update file is a standardized image of a bootable CD-ROM that
can be used to create a bootable CD that will update the BIOS.
The Iflash BIOS update file is a compressed file that contains the files you need to
update the BIOS. The Iflash BIOS update file contains:
•
•
•
New BIOS file
Intel® Integrator Toolkit Configuration File (optional)

Updating the BIOS with the ISO Image BIOS Update
File
The ISO Image BIOS update allows for the update of an Intel® Desktop Board BIOS to
the latest production release regardless of the operating system installed on the
computer's hard drive and without the need to remove the BIOS configuration jumper.
It requires a blank CD-R, a read/writeable CD drive, and software capable of
uncompressing and writing the ISO image file to CD.
The image uses ISOLINUX* bootloader and automatically launches a script to upgrade
the BIOS via the Iflash utility.
CAUTION
Do not interrupt the process or the system may not function properly.
54
Updating the BIOS
Follow these instructions to upgrade the BIOS using the ISO Image BIOS file:
1. Download the ISO Image BIOS file.
2. Using software capable of uncompressing and writing an ISO image file to CD, burn
the data to a blank CD.
NOTE
Copying the ISO Image BIOS file to CD will not work. The completed CD should
contain multiple files and a directory.
3. Insert the CD that was created in the CD-ROM drive of the computer to be
upgraded and boot the system.
4. When the "Press ENTER to continue booting from CD-ROM" prompt appears, press
the Enter key. The system will boot from the hard drive if no key is pressed within
15 seconds.
5. At the "Welcome to the Intel Desktop Board BIOS Upgrade CD-ROM" page, press
any key to confirm the BIOS upgrade operation.
6. Wait for the BIOS upgrade process to complete.
CAUTION

may take up to 5 minutes.
Updating the BIOS with the Iflash Memory Update
Utility
With the Iflash Memory update utility you can update the system BIOS from a
bootable CD-ROM, bootable USB flash drive, or other bootable USB media. The utility
available on the Intel World Wide Web site provides a simple method for creating a
bootable CD-ROM that will automatically update your BIOS. The Iflash BIOS update
files can also be extracted locally to your hard drive and copied to a bootable USB
flash drive or other bootable USB media.
The Iflash Memory update utility allows you to:
•
•
Update the BIOS in flash memory
Update the language section of the BIOS
NOTE
Review the instructions distributed with the update utility before attempting a BIOS
update.
CAUTION
Do not interrupt the process or the system may not function properly.
55
Intel Desktop Board DG41MJ Product Guide
1. Uncompress the BIOS update file and copy the .BIO file, IFLASH.EXE, and .ITK file
(optional) to a bootable USB flash drive or other bootable USB media.
2. Configure the BIOS or use the F10 option during POST to boot to the USB device.
3. Manually run the IFLASH.EXE file from the USB device and manually update the
BIOS.
Recovering the BIOS
It is unlikely that anything will interrupt the BIOS update; however, if an interruption
occurs, the BIOS could be damaged. Due to BIOS size and recovery requirements, a
CD-R with the .BIO file in the root directory will be required.

Lead-Free Desktop Board
This Desktop Board is a European Union Restriction of Hazardous Substances (EU
RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC) compliant product. EU RoHS restricts the use of six
materials. One of the six restricted materials is lead.
Intel Desktop Board DG41MJ is lead-free although certain discrete components used
on the board contain a small amount of lead which is necessary for component
performance and/or reliability. This Desktop Board is referred to as “Lead-free second
level interconnect.” The board substrate and the solder connections from the board to
the components (second-level connections) are all lead-free.
China bans the same substances and has the same limits as EU RoHS; however it
requires different product marking and controlled substance information. The required
mark shows the Environmental Friendly Usage Period (EFUP). The EFUP is defined as
the number of years for which controlled listed substances will not leak or chemically
deteriorate while in the product.

Ensure Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
Compliance
Before computer integration, make sure that the power supply and other modules or
peripherals, as applicable, have passed Class B EMC testing and are marked
accordingly.
Pay close attention to the following when reading the installation instructions for the
host chassis, power supply, and other modules:
• Product certifications or lack of 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 or peripherals, as applicable, are not Class B
EMC compliant before integration, then EMC testing may be required on a
representative sample of the newly completed computer.
