Expandability  
Intel Desktop Board DH67GD provides the following connectors for system expansion:  
One PCI Express 2.0 x16 connector  
Two PCI Express 2.0 x1 connectors  
One Conventional PCI bus connector  
Legacy I/O  
The board’s Legacy I/O Controller provides the following legacy features:  
Low pin count (LPC) interface  
Consumer Infrared (CIR) support  
Serial IRQ interface compatible with serialized IRQ support for Conventional PCI  
bus systems  
Intelligent power management, including a programmable wake-up event interface  
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 Express and SATA auto-configuration utilities. The BIOS is stored in the Serial  
Peripheral Interface (SPI) Flash device.  
The BIOS can be updated by following the instructions in Chapter 3 starting on  
page 61.  
20  
       
Desktop Board Features  
SATA Auto Configuration  
If you install a SATA 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  
SATA device. You can override the auto-configuration options by specifying manual  
configuration in the BIOS Setup program.  
The BIOS sets SATA to ACHI mode by default.  
PCI*/PCI Express Auto Configuration  
If you install a Conventional PCI or PCI Express 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 Conventional PCI or PCI Express  
add-in card.  
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 53.

The features of the hardware monitoring and fan speed control include:  
Smart fan control provided by the legacy I/O controller, delivering acoustically-  
optimized thermal management. Fan speed controllers and sensors are integrated  
into the legacy I/O controller.  
Thermal sensors in the processor and Intel H67 PCH, as well as near the processor  
voltage regulators and system memory.  
Monitoring of system voltages to detect levels above or below acceptable values  
Thermally monitored closed-loop fan control for all fans that can adjust fan speed  
as needed.  
Fan Monitoring  
Fan monitoring can be observed via the BIOS Setup program, Intel® Desktop Utilities,  
or third-party software.  
Chassis Intrusion  
The board supports a chassis security feature that detects if the chassis cover has  
been removed. The security feature uses a mechanical switch on the chassis that can  
be connected to the chassis intrusion header on the Desktop Board. See Figure 1 for  
the location of the chassis intrusion header.  
Power Management  
Power management is implemented at several levels, including software support  
through the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) and the following  
hardware support:  
Power connectors  
Fan headers  
LAN wake capabilities  
Instantly Available PC technology (Suspend to RAM)

22  
         
Desktop Board Features  
Software Support  
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.  
The Desktop Board has two power connectors. See Figure 23 on page 51 for the  
location of the power connectors.  
Fan Headers  
The function/operation of the fans is as follows:  
The fans are on when the board is in the ACPI S0 state.  
The fans are off when the computer is in the ACPI S3, S4, or S5 state.  
Each fan header is wired to a tachometer input.  
All fan headers support closed-loop fan control that can adjust the fan speed or  
switch the fan on or off as needed.  
All fan headers have a +12 V DC connection (up to 12 V DC when using 3-wire  
chassis fans).  
All fan headers are controlled by Pulse Width Modulation.  
The chassis fan header supports linear fan control on 3-wire fans.  
The Desktop Board has a 4-pin processor fan header and two 4-pin chassis fan  
headers compatible with 4-wire and 3-wire chassis fans.  
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.  
23  
           
Intel Desktop Board DH67GD Product Guide  
Instantly Available PC Technology  
CAUTION  
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.  
Instantly Available PC technology enables the board to enter the ACPI S3 (Suspend-to-  
RAM) sleep state. 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 (the power supply is off and the front panel power LED will behave as  
configured by the BIOS “S3 State Indicator” option). When signaled by a wake-up  
device or event, the system quickly returns to its last known wake state. When  
signaled by a wake-up device or event, the computer quickly returns to its last known  
awake state.  
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.  
The use of Instantly Available PC technology requires operating system support and  
PCI 2.2 compliant add-in cards, PCI Express add-in cards, and drivers.  
+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.  
The Desktop Board’s standby power indicator, shown in Figure 3, is lit when there is  
standby power still present on the board even when the computer appears to be off.  
For example, when this green LED is lit, standby power is still present at the memory  
module sockets and the PCI Express connector.  
24  
   
Desktop Board Features

the Technical Product Specification at  
Wake from USB  
NOTE  
Wake from USB requires the use of a USB peripheral that supports Wake from USB  
and an operating system that supports Wake from USB.  
USB bus activity wakes the computer from an ACPI S3 state.  
PCI Express WAKE# Signal Wake-up Support  
When the WAKE# signal on a PCI Express bus add-in card is asserted, the computer  
wakes from an ACPI S3, S4, or S5 state.  
Wake from CIR  
Consumer IR device activity wakes the computer from an ACPI S3 state.

Intel Desktop Board DH67GD Product Guide  
Speaker  
A speaker is mounted on the Desktop Board. The speaker provides audible error code  
(beep code) information during the Power-On Self-Test (POST). Refer to Appendix A  
for a description of the board’s beep codes.  
Real-Time Clock Subsystem  
A coin-cell battery (CR2032) powers the real-time clock and CMOS memory. When  
the computer is not plugged into a wall socket, the battery has an estimated life of  
three years. When the computer is plugged in, the standby current from the power  
supply extends the life of the battery.  
The clock is accurate to ± 13 minutes/year at 25 ºC with standby power applied by the  
power supply.  
NOTE  
If the battery and AC power fail, date and time values will be reset and the user will be  
notified during the POST.  
When the battery voltage drops below a certain level, the BIOS Setup program  
settings stored in CMOS RAM (for example, the date and time) might not be accurate.  
Replace the battery with an equivalent one. Go to page 54 for instructions on how to  
replace the battery.

Consumer IR (CIR) Headers  
The Desktop Board has two CIR headers: the receiver or input header (Figure 20, D)  
and the output or emitter header (Figure 20, E). The receiver header consists of a  
filtered translated infrared input compliant with Microsoft CIR specifications and a  
“learning” infrared input. The learning input is a high-pass input which the computer  
can use to “learn” to speak the infrared communication language of other user  
remotes. The emitter header consists of two output ports which the computer can use  
to emulate “learned” infrared commands in order to control external electronic  
hardware.  
NOTE  
The Consumer IR option must be enabled in the system BIOS before it can  
function. Press <F2> at boot to enter the system BIOS, and go to Advanced >  
Peripheral Configuration > Enhanced Consumer IR, and set this option to  
Enabled.

Replacing the Battery  
A coin-cell battery (CR2032) powers the real-time clock and CMOS memory. When  
the computer is not plugged into a wall socket, the battery has an estimated life of  
three years. When the computer is plugged in, the standby current from the power  
supply extends the life of the battery. The clock is accurate to ± 13 minutes/year at  
25 °C with 3.3 VSB applied.  
When the voltage drops below a certain level, the BIOS Setup program settings stored  
in CMOS RAM (for example, the date and time) might not be accurate. Replace the  
battery with an equivalent one. Figure 25 on page 59 shows the location of the  
battery.  
CAUTION  
Risk of explosion if the battery is replaced with an incorrect type. Batteries should be  
recycled where possible. Disposal of used batteries must be in accordance with local  
environmental regulations.

Update File  
You can use the information in this section to update the BIOS using either the Intel®  
Flash 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 Intel Flash Memory 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 Intel Flash Memory BIOS update file is a compressed file that contains the files  
you need to update the BIOS. The BIOS update file contains:  
New BIOS file (including the Intel® Management Engine (Intel® ME) Firmware  
Image))  
Intel® Integrator Toolkit Configuration File (optional)  
Intel Flash Memory Update Utility  
62  
     
Updating the BIOS  
You can obtain either of these files through your computer supplier or by navigating to  
the Intel Desktop Board DH67GD page on the Intel World Wide Web site Download  
On the DH67GD page, click on the “BIOS Update” link and then select the the Iflash  
BIOS Update file.  
Updating the BIOS with the Intel Flash Memory Update  
Utility  
With the Intel Flash 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 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 Intel Flash Memory Update Utility allows you to:  
Update the BIOS and Intel Management Engine 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.  
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.  
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 Intel Flash Memory Utility.  
63  
   
Intel Desktop Board DH67GD Product Guide  
CAUTION  
Do not interrupt the process or the system may not function properly.  
Follow these instructions to upgrade the BIOS using 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  
DO NOT POWER DOWN YOUR COMPUTER before the update is complete. The update  
may take up to 5 minutes.  
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.  
You can obtain the Recovery BIOS Update file through your computer supplier or by  
navigating to the Intel Desktop Board DH67GD page on the Intel World Wide Web site  
Download Center at http://downloadcenter.intel.com.
