1.4.1  
Memory Configurations  
The processor supports the following types of memory organization:  
Dual channel (Interleaved) mode. This mode offers the highest throughput for  
real world applications. Dual channel mode is enabled when the installed memory  
capacities of both SO-DIMM channels are equal. Technology and device width can  
vary from one channel to the other but the installed memory capacity for each  
channel must be equal. If different speed SO-DIMMs are used between channels,  
the slowest memory timing will be used.  
Single channel (Asymmetric) mode. This mode is equivalent to single channel  
bandwidth operation for real world applications. This mode is used when only a  
single SO-DIMM is installed or the memory capacities are unequal. Technology and  
device width can vary from one channel to the other. If different speed SO-DIMMs  
are used between channels, the slowest memory timing will be used.

For information about  
The Intel QS77 chipset  
Refer to  
Chapter 2  
Resources used by the chipset  
1.5.1  
Direct Media Interface (DMI)  
Direct Media Interface (DMI) is the chip-to-chip connection between the processor and  
PCH. This high-speed interface integrates advanced priority-based servicing allowing  
for concurrent traffic and true isochronous transfer capabilities.  
1.5.2  
Display Interfaces  
Display is divided between the processor and the PCH. The processor houses the  
memory interface, display planes, and pipes while the PCH has transcoder and display  
interface or ports. The PCH receives the display data over Intel® Flexible Display  
Interface (Intel® FDI) and transcodes the data as per the display technology protocol  
and sends the data through the display interface.  
1.5.2.1  
Intel® Flexible Display Interconnect (Intel® FDI)  
Intel FDI connects the display engine in the processor with the display interfaces on  
the PCH. The display data from the frame buffer is processed in the display engine of  
the processor and sent to the PCH over the Intel FDI where it is transcoded as per the  
display protocol and driven to the display monitor.  
1.5.2.2  
High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP)  
HDCP is the technology for protecting high definition content against unauthorized  
copy or unreceptive between a source (computer, digital set top boxes, etc.) and the  
sink (panels, monitor, and TVs). The PCH supports HDCP 1.4 for content protection  
over wired displays (HDMI).

Intel® Dynamic Video Memory Technology (DVMT) is a method for dynamically  
allocating system memory for use as graphics memory to balance 2D/3D graphics and  
system performance. If your computer is configured to use DVMT, graphics memory is  
allocated based on system requirements and application demands (up to the  
configured maximum amount). When memory is no longer needed by an application,  
the dynamically allocated portion of memory is returned to the operating system for  
other uses.  
1.6.1.3

1.7 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 3.3 VSB applied via the power supply 5 V STBY rail.  
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 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

1.10.1.1 System States and Power States  
Under ACPI, the operating system directs all system and device power state  
transitions. The operating system puts devices in and out of low-power states based  
on user preferences and knowledge of how devices are being used by applications.  
Devices that are not being used can be turned off. The operating system uses  
information from applications and user settings to put the system as a whole into a  
low-power state.  
Table 8 lists the power states supported by the board along with the associated system  
power targets. See the ACPI specification for a complete description of the various

1.10.2.2 Instantly Available PC Technology  
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 LED is amber if dual colored, or off if single  
colored.) When signaled by a wake-up device or event, the system quickly returns to  
its last known wake state. Table 9 on page 33 lists the devices and events that can  
wake the computer from the S3 state.  
The use of Instantly Available PC technology requires operating system support and  
drivers for any installed PCI Express add-in card.  
1.10.2.3 LAN Wake Capabilities  
LAN wake capabilities enable remote wake-up of the computer through a network. The  
LAN subsystem monitors network traffic at the Media Independent Interface. Upon  
detecting a Magic Packet* frame, the LAN subsystem asserts a wake-up signal that  
powers up the computer.  
1.10.2.4 Wake from USB  
USB bus activity wakes the computer from an ACPI S3 state.  
NOTE  
Wake from USB requires the use of a USB peripheral that supports Wake from USB.  
1.10.2.5 WAKE# Signal Wake-up Support  
When the WAKE# signal on the PCI Express bus is asserted, the computer wakes from  
an ACPI S3, S4, or S5 state.  
1.10.2.6 Wake from S5  
When the RTC Date and Time is set in the BIOS, the computer will automatically wake  
from an ACPI S5 state.

2.1 Memory Resources  
2.1.1  
Addressable Memory  
The board utilizes 16 GB of addressable system memory. Typically the address space  
that is allocated for PCI Conventional bus add-in cards, PCI Express configuration  
space, BIOS (SPI Flash device), and chipset overhead resides above the top of DRAM  
(total system memory). On a system that has 16 GB of system memory installed, it is  
not possible to use all of the installed memory due to system address space being  
allocated for other system critical functions. These functions include the following:  
BIOS/SPI Flash device (128 Mb)  
Local APIC (19 MB)  
Direct Media Interface (40 MB)  
PCI Express configuration space (256 MB)  
PCH base address registers PCI Express ports (up to 256 MB)  
Memory-mapped I/O that is dynamically allocated for PCI Express add-in cards  
(256 MB)  
The board provides the capability to reclaim the physical memory overlapped by the  
memory mapped I/O logical address space. The board remaps physical memory from  
the top of usable DRAM boundary to the 4 GB boundary to an equivalent sized logical  
address range located just above the 4 GB boundary. Figure 8 shows a schematic of  
the system memory map. All installed system memory can be used when there is no  
overlap of system addresses.

2.2 Connectors and Headers  
CAUTION  
Only the following connectors and headers have overcurrent protection: back panel  
and front panel USB.  
The other internal connectors and headers are not overcurrent protected and should  
connect only to devices inside the computer’s chassis, such as fans and internal  
peripherals. Do not use these connectors or headers to power devices external to the  
computer’s chassis. A fault in the load presented by the external devices could cause  
damage to the computer, the power cable, and the external devices themselves.  
Furthermore, improper connection of USB header single wire connectors may  
eventually overload the overcurrent protection and cause damage to the board.  
This section describes the board’s connectors and headers. The connectors and  
headers can be divided into these groups:

Intel NUC D53427RKE Technical Product Specification  
2.6 Electrical Considerations  
2.6.1  
Power Supply Considerations  
CAUTION  
The external 19 V DC jack is the primary power input connector of Intel NUC Board  
D53427RKE. However, the board also provides an internal 1 x 2 power connector that  
can be used in custom-developed systems that have a custom internal power supply.  
The internal 1 x 2 power connector is a Molex 5566-2 header which accepts a Molex  
5557-02R connector from the power supply.  
There is no isolation circuitry between the external 19 V DC jack and the internal 1 x 2  
power connector. It is the system integrator’s responsibility to ensure no more than  
one power supply unit is or can be attached to the board at any time and to ensure the  
external 19 V DC jack is covered if the internal 1 x 2 power connector is to be used.  
Simultaneous connection of both external and internal power supply units could result  
in potential damage to the board, power supplies, or other hardware.  
System power requirements will depend on actual system configurations chosen by the  
integrator, as well as end user expansion preferences. It is the system integrator’s  
responsibility to ensure an appropriate power budget for the system configuration is  
properly assessed based on the system-level components chosen.

2.7 Thermal Considerations  
CAUTION  
A chassis with a maximum internal ambient temperature of 58 oC at the processor fan  
inlet is a requirement. Whenever possible, use of a processor heat sink that provides  
omni-directional airflow to maintain required airflow across the processor voltage  
regulator area is recommended.  
CAUTION  
Failure to ensure appropriate airflow may result in reduced performance of both the  
processor and/or voltage regulator or, in some instances, damage to the board.  
All responsibility for determining the adequacy of any thermal or system design  
remains solely with the system integrator. Intel makes no warranties or  
representations that merely following the instructions presented in this document will  
result in a system with adequate thermal performance.  
CAUTION  
Ensure that the ambient temperature does not exceed the board’s maximum operating  
temperature. Failure to do so could cause components to exceed their maximum case  
temperature and malfunction. For information about the maximum operating  
temperature, see the environmental specifications in Section 2.8.  
CAUTION  
The processor voltage regulator area (shown in Figure 15) can reach a temperature of  
up to 97.5 oC in an open chassis. Ensure that proper airflow is maintained in the  
processor voltage regulator circuit. Failure to do so may result in shorter than  
expected product lifetime.

Technical Reference  
Table 19 provides maximum case temperatures for the components that are sensitive  
to thermal changes. The operating temperature, current load, or operating frequency  
could affect case temperatures. Maximum case temperatures are important when  
considering proper airflow to cool the board.

To ensure functionality and reliability, the component is specified for proper operation  
when Case Temperature is maintained at or below the maximum temperature listed in  
Table 20. This is a requirement for sustained power dissipation equal to Thermal  
Design Power (TDP is specified as the maximum sustainable power to be dissipated by  
the components). When the component is dissipating less than TDP, the case  
temperature should be below the Maximum Case Temperature. The surface  
temperature at the geometric center of the component corresponds to Case  
Temperature.  
It is important to note that the temperature measurement in the system BIOS is a  
value reported by embedded thermal sensors in the components and does not directly  
correspond to the Maximum Case Temperature. The upper operating limit when  
monitoring this thermal sensor is Tcontrol.

3 Overview of BIOS Features  
3.1 Introduction  
The board uses an Intel® Visual BIOS that is stored in the Serial Peripheral Interface  
Flash Memory (SPI Flash) and can be updated using a disk-based program. The SPI  
Flash contains the Visual BIOS Setup program, POST, the PCI auto-configuration  
utility, LAN EEPROM information, and Plug and Play support.  
The BIOS displays a message during POST identifying the type of BIOS and a revision  
code. The initial production BIOSs are identified as RKPPT10H.86A.  
When the BIOS Setup configuration jumper is set to configure mode and the computer  
is powered-up, the BIOS compares the CPU version and the microcode version in the  
BIOS and reports if the two match.  
The Visual BIOS Setup program can be used to view and change the BIOS settings for  
the computer. The BIOS Setup program is accessed by pressing the <F2> key after  
the Power-On Self-Test (POST) memory test begins and before the operating system  
boot begins.  
Figure 16. Intel Visual BIOS Home Screen

Intel NUC D53427RKE Technical Product Specification  
NOTE  
The maintenance menu is displayed only when the board is in configure mode.  
Section 2.3 on page 52 shows how to put the board in configure mode.  
3.2 BIOS Flash Memory Organization  
The Serial Peripheral Interface Flash Memory (SPI Flash) includes a 128 Mb  
(16000 KB) flash memory device.  
3.3 System Management BIOS (SMBIOS)  
SMBIOS is a Desktop Management Interface (DMI) compliant method for managing  
computers in a managed network.  
The main component of SMBIOS is the Management Information Format (MIF)  
database, which contains information about the computing system and its  
components. Using SMBIOS, a system administrator can obtain the system types,  
capabilities, operational status, and installation dates for system components. The MIF  
database defines the data and provides the method for accessing this information. The  
BIOS enables applications such as third-party management software to use SMBIOS.  
The BIOS stores and reports the following SMBIOS information:  
BIOS data, such as the BIOS revision level  
Fixed-system data, such as peripherals, serial numbers, and asset tags  
Resource data, such as memory size, cache size, and processor speed  
Dynamic data, such as event detection and error logging  
Non-Plug and Play operating systems require an additional interface for obtaining the  
SMBIOS information. The BIOS supports an SMBIOS table interface for such operating  
systems. Using this support, an SMBIOS service-level application running on a  
non-Plug and Play operating system can obtain the SMBIOS information. Additional  
board information can be found in the BIOS under the Additional Information header  
under the Main BIOS page.  
3.4 Legacy USB Support  
Legacy USB support enables USB devices to be used even when the operating system’s  
USB drivers are not yet available. Legacy USB support is used to access the BIOS  
Setup program, and to install an operating system that supports USB. By default,  
Legacy USB support is set to Enabled.  
Legacy USB support operates as follows:  
1. When you apply power to the computer, legacy support is disabled.  
2. POST begins.  
3. Legacy USB support is enabled by the BIOS allowing you to use a USB keyboard to  
enter and configure the BIOS Setup program and the maintenance menu.  
62  
     
Overview of BIOS Features  
4. POST completes.  
5. The operating system loads. While the operating system is loading, USB keyboards  
and mice are recognized and may be used to configure the operating system.  
(Keyboards and mice are not recognized during this period if Legacy USB support  
was set to Disabled in the BIOS Setup program.)  
6. After the operating system loads the USB drivers, all legacy and non-legacy USB  
devices are recognized by the operating system, and Legacy USB support from the  
BIOS is no longer used.  
7. Additional USB legacy feature options can be access by using Intel® Integrator  
Toolkit.  
To install an operating system that supports USB, verify that Legacy USB support in  
the BIOS Setup program is set to Enabled and follow the operating system’s  
installation instructions.  
3.5 BIOS Updates  
The BIOS can be updated using either of the following utilities, which are available on  
the Intel World Wide Web site:  
Intel® Express BIOS Update utility, which enables automated updating while in the  
Windows environment. Using this utility, the BIOS can be updated from a file on a  
hard disk, a USB drive (a flash drive or a USB hard drive), or a CD-ROM, or from  
the file location on the Web.  
Intel® Flash Memory Update Utility, which requires booting from DOS. Using this  
utility, the BIOS can be updated from a file on a hard disk, a USB drive (a flash  
drive or a USB hard drive), or a CD-ROM.  
Intel® F7 switch during POST allows a user to select where the BIOS .bio file is  
located and perform the update from that location/device. Similar to performing a  
BIOS Recovery without removing the BIOS configuration jumper.  
Both utilities verify that the updated BIOS matches the target system to prevent  
accidentally installing an incompatible BIOS.  
NOTE  
Review the instructions distributed with the upgrade utility before attempting a BIOS  
update.  
For information about  
Refer to  
BIOS update utilities  
3.5.1  
Language Support  
The BIOS Setup program and help messages are supported in US English. Check the  
Intel web site for support.

Intel NUC D53427RKE Technical Product Specification  
3.5.2  
Custom Splash Screen  
During POST, an Intel® splash screen is displayed by default. This splash screen can  
be augmented with a custom splash screen. The Intel Integrator’s Toolkit that is  
available from Intel can be used to create a custom splash screen.  
NOTE  
If you add a custom splash screen, it will share space with the Intel branded logo.  
Refer to  
For information about  
Intel Integrator Toolkit  
Additional Intel® software tools  
3.6 BIOS Recovery  
It is unlikely that anything will interrupt a BIOS update; however, if an interruption  
occurs, the BIOS could be damaged. Table 22 lists the drives and media types that  
can and cannot be used for BIOS recovery. The BIOS recovery media does not need to  
be made bootable.

Overview of BIOS Features  
3.7 Boot Options  
In the BIOS Setup program, the user can choose to boot from a hard drive, optical  
drive, removable drive, or the network. The default setting is for the optical drive to  
be the first boot device, the hard drive second, removable drive third, and the network  
fourth.  
3.7.1  
Network Boot  
The network can be selected as a boot device. This selection allows booting from the  
onboard LAN or a network add-in card with a remote boot ROM installed.  
Pressing the <F12> key during POST automatically forces booting from the LAN. To  
use this key during POST, the User Access Level in the BIOS Setup program's Security  
menu must be set to Full.  
3.7.2  
Booting Without Attached Devices  
For use in embedded applications, the BIOS has been designed so that after passing  
the POST, the operating system loader is invoked even if the following devices are not  
present:  
Video adapter  
Keyboard  
Mouse  
3.7.3  
Changing the Default Boot Device During POST  
Pressing the <F10> key during POST causes a boot device menu to be displayed. This  
menu displays the list of available boot devices. Table 23 lists the boot device menu  
options.

3.8 Hard Disk Drive Password Security Feature  
The Hard Disk Drive Password Security feature blocks read and write accesses to the  
hard disk drive until the correct password is given. Hard Disk Drive Passwords are set  
in BIOS SETUP and are prompted for during BIOS POST. For convenient support of S3  
resume, the system BIOS will automatically unlock drives on resume from S3.  
The User hard disk drive password, when installed, will be required upon each power-  
cycle until the Master Key or User hard disk drive password is submitted.  
The Master Key hard disk drive password, when installed, will not lock the drive. The  
Master Key hard disk drive password exists as an unlock override in the event that the  
User hard disk drive password is forgotten. Only the installation of the User hard disk  
drive password will cause a hard disk to be locked upon a system power-cycle.  
Table 24 shows the effects of setting the Hard Disk Drive Passwords.

During every POST, if a User hard disk drive password is set, POST execution will  
pause with the following prompt to force the user to enter the Master Key or User hard  
disk drive password:  
Enter Hard Disk Drive Password:  
Upon successful entry of the Master Key or User hard disk drive password, the system  
will continue with normal POST.  
If the hard disk drive password is not correctly entered, the system will go back to the  
above prompt. The user will have three attempts to correctly enter the hard disk drive  
password. After the third unsuccessful hard disk drive password attempt, the system  
will halt with the message:  
Hard Disk Drive Password Entry Error  
A manual power cycle will be required to resume system operation.  
NOTE  
As implemented on D53427RKE, Hard Disk Drive Password Security is only supported  
on SATA port 0. The passwords are stored on the hard disk drive so if the drive is  
relocated to another computer that does not support Hard Disk Drive Password  
Security feature, the drive will not be accessible.  
66  
   
Overview of BIOS Features  
3.9 BIOS Security Features  
The BIOS includes security features that restrict access to the BIOS Setup program  
and who can boot the computer. A supervisor password and a user password can be  
set for the BIOS Setup program and for booting the computer, with the following  
restrictions:  
The supervisor password gives unrestricted access to view and change all the Setup  
options in the BIOS Setup program. This is the supervisor mode.  
The user password gives restricted access to view and change Setup options in the  
BIOS Setup program. This is the user mode.  
If only the supervisor password is set, pressing the <Enter> key at the password  
prompt of the BIOS Setup program allows the user restricted access to Setup.  
If both the supervisor and user passwords are set, users can enter either the  
supervisor password or the user password to access Setup. Users have access to  
Setup respective to which password is entered.  
Setting the user password restricts who can boot the computer. The password  
prompt will be 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, the user can enter either password to boot the computer.  
For enhanced security, use different passwords for the supervisor and user  
passwords.  
Valid password characters are A-Z, a-z, and 0-9. Passwords may be up to  
19 characters in length.  
To clear a set password, enter a blank password after entering the existing  
password.  
Table 25 shows the effects of setting the supervisor password and user password. This  
table is for reference only and is not displayed on the screen.
