port A connector is located on the back panel. The serial port B header is located near the main
power connector. The serial ports’ NS16C550-compatible UART supports data transfers at speeds
up to 115.2 kb/s with BIOS support.
Parallel Port
The 25-pin D-Sub parallel port connector is located on the back panel. In the BIOS Setup program,
the parallel port can be set to the following modes:
•
•
•
•
Output only (PC AT†-compatible mode)
Bi-directional (PS/2 compatible)
EPP
ECP
Diskette Drive Controller
The I/O controller supports two diskette drives that are compatible with the 82077 diskette drive
controller and supports both PC-AT and PS/2 modes.
Keyboard and Mouse Interface
PS/2 keyboard and mouse connectors are located on the back panel. The +5 V lines to these
connectors are protected with a PolySwitch† circuit that, like a self-healing fuse, reestablishes the
connection after an overcurrent condition is removed.
NOTE
✏
The keyboard is supported in the bottom PS/2 connector and the mouse is
supported in the top PS/2 connector. Power to the computer should be turned
off before a keyboard or mouse is connected or disconnected.
The keyboard controller contains the AMI keyboard and mouse controller code, provides the
keyboard and mouse control functions, and supports password protection for power-on/reset. A
power-on/reset password can be specified in the BIOS Setup program.
Hardware Management Subsystem
The Hardware Management features enable the board to be compatible with the Wired for
Management (WfM) specification. The board has several hardware management features,
including the following:
•
•
•

Hardware Management ASIC
The Hardware Management ASIC provides low-cost instrumentation capabilities. The features of
the component include:
•
•
•
Internal ambient temperature sensing
Remote thermal diode sensing for direct monitoring of processor temperature
Power supply monitoring (+5 V, +3.3 V, +1.5 V, 3.3 VSB, and Vccp) to detect levels above or
below acceptable values
•
SMBus interface
Fan Monitoring
The Hardware Management ASIC provides four fan tachometer inputs. Monitoring can be
implemented using Intel® LANDesk Client Manager or third-party software.
Chassis Intrusion and Detection
The S845WD1-E server board supports a chassis security feature that detects if the chassis cover is
removed. For the chassis intrusion circuit to function, the chassis’ power supply must be connected
to AC power. The security feature uses a mechanical switch on the chassis that attaches to the
chassis intrusion connector. When the chassis cover is removed the mechanical switch is in the
closed position.
NOTE
✏
Chassis intrusion detection may be implemented using Intel LANDesk Client
Manager or third-party software.
Real-Time Clock, CMOS SRAM, and Battery
The real-time clock provides a time-of-day clock and a multi-century calendar with alarm features.
The real-time clock supports 256 bytes of battery-backed CMOS SRAM in two banks that are
reserved for BIOS use.
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.
The time, date, and CMOS values can be specified in the BIOS Setup program. The CMOS values
can be returned to their defaults by using the BIOS Setup program.
✏ NOTE
If the battery and AC power fail, custom defaults, if previously saved, will be
loaded into CMOS RAM at power-on.

Legacy USB Support
Legacy USB support enables USB devices such as keyboard, mice, and hubs 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.
The S845WD1-E server board has four USB 1.1 ports; one USB peripheral can be connected to
each port. For more than four USB devices, an external hub can be connected to any of the ports.
Two of the USB ports are implemented with stacked back panel connectors; the other two are
accessible via the front panel USB header. The S845WD1-E server board fully supports UHCI and
uses UHCI-compatible software drivers.
NOTE
✏
Computer systems that have an unshielded cable attached to a USB port may
not meet FCC Class B requirements, even if no device is attached to the
cable. Use shielded cable that meets the requirements for full-speed devices.
Legacy USB support operates as follows:
1. When the user applies power to the computer, legacy support is disabled.
2. POST begins.
3. Legacy USB support is enabled by the BIOS allowing the user to use a USB keyboard to enter
and configure the BIOS Setup program and the maintenance menu.
4. POST completes.
5. The operating system loads. While the operating system is loading, USB keyboard and mice are
recognized and may be used to configure the operating system. (Keyboard 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.
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.
NOTE
✏
Legacy USB support is for keyboard, mice, and hubs only. Other USB
devices are not supported in legacy mode.

IDE Support
IDE Interfaces
The ICH2’s IDE controller has two independent bus-mastering IDE interfaces that can be
independently enabled. The IDE interfaces support the following modes:
•
•
•
Programmed I/O (PIO): processor controls data transfer.
8237-style DMA: DMA offloads the processor, supporting transfer rates of up to 16 MB/sec.
Ultra DMA: DMA protocol on IDE bus supporting host and target throttling and transfer rates
of up to 33 MB/sec.
•
•
ATA-66: DMA protocol on IDE bus supporting host and target throttling and transfer rates of
up to 66 MB/sec. ATA-66 protocol is similar to Ultra DMA and is device driver compatible.
ATA-100: DMA protocol on IDE bus allows host and target throttling. The ICH2’s ATA-100
logic can achieve transfer rates up to 100 MB/sec.
✏ NOTE
ATA-66 and ATA-100 are faster timings and require a specialized cable to
reduce reflections, noise, and inductive coupling.
The IDE interfaces also support ATAPI devices (such as CD-ROM drives) and ATA devices using
the transfer modes.
The BIOS supports Logical Block Addressing (LBA) and Extended Cylinder Head Sector (ECHS)
translation modes. The drive reports the transfer rate and translation mode to the BIOS.
The S845WD1-E server board supports Laser Servo (LS-120) diskette technology through the IDE
interfaces. An LS-120 drive can be configured as a boot device by setting the BIOS Setup
program’s Boot menu to one of the following:
•
•
ARMD-FDD (ATAPI removable media device – floppy disk drive)
ARMD-HDD (ATAPI removable media device – hard disk drive)
SCSI Hard Drive Activity LED Connector
The SCSI hard drive activity LED connector is a 1 x 2-pin connector that allows an add-in
SCSI controller to use the same LED as the onboard IDE controller. For proper operation, this
connector should be wired to the LED output of the add-in SCSI controller. The LED indicates
when data is being read from, or written to, both the add-in SCSI controller and the IDE controller.

BIOS
The S845WD1-E server board uses an Intel/AMI BIOS that is stored in the Firmware Hub (FWH)
and can be updated using a disk-based program. The FWH contains the BIOS Setup program,
POST, the PCI auto-configuration utility, and Plug and Play support.
The S845WD1-E server board supports system BIOS shadowing, allowing the BIOS to execute
from 64-bit onboard write-protected system memory.
The BIOS displays a message during POST identifying the type of BIOS and a revision code. The
initial production BIOS is identified as PT84510A.86B.
When the S845WD1-E server board’s jumper is set to configuration mode and the server is
powered-up, the BIOS compares the processor version and the microcode version in the BIOS and
reports if the two match.
PCI Auto Configuration
The BIOS can automatically configure PCI devices. PCI devices may be onboard or add-in cards.
Auto configuration lets a user insert or remove PCI cards without having to configure the system.
When a user turns on the system after adding a PCI card, the BIOS automatically configures
interrupts, the I/O space, and other system resources. Any interrupts set to Available in Setup are
considered to be available for use by the add-in card. Auto configuration information is stored in
ESCD format.
PCI IDE Support
If you select Auto in the BIOS Setup program, the BIOS automatically sets up the two
PCI IDE connectors with independent I/O channel support. The IDE interface supports hard drives
up to ATA-66/100 and recognizes any ATAPI compliant devices, including CD-ROM drives, tape
drives, and Ultra DMA drives.
The BIOS determines the capabilities of each drive and configures them to optimize capacity and
performance. To take advantage of the high capacities typically available today, hard drives are
automatically configured for Logical Block Addressing (LBA) and to PIO Mode 3 or 4, depending
on the capability of the drive. You can override the auto-configuration options by specifying
manual configuration in the BIOS Setup program.
To use ATA-66/100 features the following items are required:
•
•
•
An ATA-66/100 peripheral device
An ATA-66/100 compatible cable
ATA-66/100 operating system device drivers
NOTE
✏
ATA-66/100 compatible cables are backward compatible with drives using
slower IDE transfer protocols. If an ATA-66/100 disk drive and a disk drive
using any other IDE transfer protocol are attached to the same cable, the
maximum transfer rate between the drives is reduced to that of the slowest
device.

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 1.44 MB
diskette, or a CD-ROM, or from the file location on the Web.
•
Intel® Flash Memory Update Utility, which requires creation of a boot diskette and manual
rebooting of the system. Using this utility, the BIOS can be updated from a file on a 1.44 MB
diskette (from a legacy diskette drive or an LS-120 diskette drive) or a CD-ROM.
Both utilities support the following BIOS maintenance functions:
•
Verifying that the updated BIOS matches the target system to prevent accidentally installing an
incompatible BIOS.
•
Updating both the BIOS boot block and the main BIOS. This process is fault tolerant to prevent
boot block corruption.
•
•
•
•
Updating the BIOS boot block separately.
Changing the language section of the BIOS.
Updating replaceable BIOS modules, such as the video BIOS module.
Inserting a custom splash screen.
NOTE
✏
Review the instructions distributed with the upgrade utility before attempting
a BIOS update.
Language Support
The BIOS Setup program and help messages are supported in two languages: US English and
Spanish. Additional languages may be flashed in if desired (German, Italian, and French available).
The default language is US English, which is present unless another language is selected in the
BIOS Setup program.
Custom Splash Screen
During POST, an Intel splash screen is displayed by default. This splash screen can be replaced
with a custom splash screen. A utility is available from Intel to assist with creating a custom splash
screen. The custom splash screen can be programmed into the flash memory using the BIOS
upgrade utility. Information about this capability is available on the Intel Support World Wide Web
site.

Recovering BIOS Data
Some types of failure can destroy the BIOS. For example, the data can be lost if a power outage
occurs while the BIOS is being updated in flash memory. The BIOS can be recovered from a
diskette using the BIOS recovery mode. When recovering the BIOS, be aware of the following:
•
Because of the small amount of code available in the non-erasable boot block area, there is no
video support. The user can only monitor this procedure by listening to the speaker or looking
at the diskette drive LED.
•
The recovery process may take several minutes; larger BIOS flash memory devices require
more time.
•
•
Two beeps and the end of activity in the diskette drive indicate successful BIOS recovery.
A series of continuous beeps indicates a failed BIOS recovery.
To create a BIOS recovery diskette, a bootable diskette must be created and the BIOS update files
copied to it. BIOS upgrades and the Intel Flash Memory Update Utility are available from Intel
Customer Support through the Intel World Wide Web site.
NOTE
✏
Even if the computer is configured to boot from an LS-120 diskette (in the
Setup program’s Removable Devices submenu), the BIOS recovery diskette
must be a standard 1.44 MB diskette not a 120 MB diskette.

Boot Options
In the BIOS Setup program, the user can choose to boot from a diskette drive, hard drives,
CD-ROM, or the network. The default setting is for the diskette drive to be the first boot device, the
hard drive second, and the ATAPI CD-ROM third. The fourth device is disabled.
CD-ROM and Network Boot
Booting from CD-ROM is supported in compliance to the El Torito bootable CD-ROM format
specification. Under the Boot menu in the BIOS Setup program, ATAPI CD-ROM is listed as a
boot device. Boot devices are defined in priority order. Accordingly, if there is not a bootable CD
in the CD-ROM drive, the system will attempt to boot from the next defined drive.
The network can be selected as a boot device. This selection allows booting from the on-board NIC
or a network add-in card with a remote boot ROM installed.
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

Fast Booting Systems with Intel® Rapid BIOS Boot
These factors affect system boot speed:
•
•
Selecting and configuring peripherals properly
Using an optimized BIOS, such as the Intel Rapid BIOS
Intel Rapid BIOS Boot
Using the following BIOS Setup program settings reduces the POST execution time. In the Boot Menu:
•
•
•
Set the hard disk drive as the first boot device. As a result, the POST does not first seek a
diskette drive, which saves about one second from the POST execution time.
Disable Quiet Boot, which eliminates display of the logo splash screen. This could save several
seconds of painting complex graphic images and changing video modes.
Enabled Intel Rapid BIOS Boot. This feature bypasses memory count and the search for a
diskette drive.
NOTE
✏
It is possible to optimize the boot process to the point where the system boots
so quickly that the Intel logo screen (or a custom logo splash screen) will not
be seen. Monitors and hard disk drives with minimum initialization times can
also contribute to a boot time that might be so fast that necessary logo
screens and POST messages cannot be seen.
This boot time may be so fast that some drives might be not be initialized at
all. If this condition should occur, it is possible to introduce a programmable
delay ranging from three to 30 seconds (using the Hard Disk Pre-Delay
feature of the Advanced Menu in the IDE Configuration Submenu of the
BIOS Setup program).

BIOS Security Passwords
The BIOS includes security features that restrict whether the BIOS Setup program can be accessed
and who can boot the server. A supervisor password and a user password can be set for the Setup
menu and for booting the server, 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 server. The password prompt is displayed
before the server is booted. If only the supervisor password is set, the server boots without
asking for a password. If both passwords are set, you can enter either password to boot
the server.

System Management BIOS (SMBIOS)
SMBIOS is a Server 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, such as Windows NT†, 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.

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 6 lists the power states supported by the S845WD1-E board along with the associated system
power targets. See the ACPI specification for a complete description of the various system and

ATA-100
The S845WD1-E server board provides an embedded dual channel ATA-100 bus through the use
of the Promise Technology PDC20267 ASIC. The PDC20267 ATA-100 controller contains two
independent ATA-100 channels that share a single 32-bit, 33-MHz PCI bus master interface as a
multifunction device, packaged in a 128-pin PQFP.
The ATA-100 controller supports the following features:
•
The scatter / gather mechanism supports both Direct Memory Access (DMA) and
Programmable I/O (PIO) IDE drives and ATAPI devices.
•
Support for ATA and ATAPI proposal PIO Mode 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, DMA Mode 0, 1, 2, and
Ultra DMA Mode 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
•
•
•
The IDE drive transfer rate is capable of up to 100 MB/sec per channel.
The host interface complies with PCI Local Bus Specification Revision 2.2.
32-bit, 33-MHz bus speed and 132 MB/sec sustained transfer rate.
The Promise PDC20267 supports IDE RAID through dual ATA-100 Channels. In a RAID
configuration, multiple IDE hard drives are placed into one or more arrays of disks. Each array is
seen as an independent disk, though the array may include upwards of two, three, or four drives.
The IDE RAID can be configured as follows:
•
•
•
•
RAID 0: Striping one to four drives.
RAID 1: Mirroring two drives.
RAID 1 +: Spare drive (three drives).
RAID 0 +: One to four drives are required.
RAID 0 configurations are used for high-performance applications, as it doubles the sustained
transfer rate of its drives. RAID 1 configurations primarily used for data protection. It creates an
identical drive backup to a secondary drive. Whenever a disk write is performed, the controller
sends data simultaneously to a second drive located on a different data channel. With four drives
attached to dual ATA-100 channels, two striped drive pairs can mirror each other (RAID 0+1) for
storage capacity and data redundancy.

compliance information. This is an FCC Class A device. Integration of it into a Class B chassis
does not result in a Class B device.
Warnings and Cautions
These warnings and cautions apply throughout this chapter. Only a technically qualified person
should configure the server board.
WARNING
Hazardous conditions, devices & cables: Hazardous electrical
conditions may be present on power, telephone, and communication cables.
Turn off the server and disconnect the power cord, telecommunications
systems, networks, and modems attached to the server before opening it.
Otherwise, personal injury or equipment damage can result.
CAUTIONS

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) & ESD protection: ESD can damage
disk drives, boards, and other parts. We recommend that you perform all
procedures in this chapter only at an ESD workstation. If one is not
available, provide some ESD protection by wearing an antistatic wrist strap
attached to chassis groundany unpainted metal surfaceon your server
when handling parts.
ESD and handling boards: Always handle boards carefully. They can
be extremely sensitive to ESD. Hold boards only by their edges. After
removing a board from its protective wrapper or from the server, place the
board component side up on a grounded, static free surface. Use a
conductive foam pad if available but not the board wrapper. Do not slide
board over any surface.
Installing or removing jumpers: A jumper is a small plastic encased
conductor that slips over two jumper pins. Some jumpers have a small tab on
top that you can grip with your fingertips or with a pair of fine needle nosed
pliers. If your jumpers do not have such a tab, take care when using needle
nosed pliers to remove or install a jumper; grip the narrow sides of the
jumper with the pliers, never the wide sides. Gripping the wide sides can
damage the contacts inside the jumper, causing intermittent problems with
the function controlled by that jumper. Take care to grip with, but not
squeeze, the pliers or other tool you use to remove a jumper, or you may
bend or break the stake pins on the board.

Installing the I/O Shield
CAUTION
Systems based on the S845WD1-E server board need the I/O shield properly
installed to pass emissions (EMI) certification testing and to meet Class B
emissions compliance levels. Without the I/O shield, or with an improperly
installed I/O shield, the server system will not meet Class B regulatory
compliance requirements.
The boxed server board comes with an I/O shield for a general purpose chassis. If installing this
board in an 1U chassis, obtain an I/O shield from the chassis vendor. When installed in the chassis,
the shield blocks radio frequency transmissions, protects internal components from dust and foreign
objects, and promotes correct airflow within the chassis.
Install the I/O shield before installing the server board in the chassis. Place the shield inside the
chassis and press the shield into place so that it fits tightly and securely. If the shield doesn’t fit,
obtain a proper-sized shield from the chassis supplier.

Using the Setup Program
You can use the BIOS Setup program to change the configuration information and boot sequence
for the server. This chapter tells you how to access the BIOS Setup program and lists Setup
features, options, and default settings.
NOTE
✏
For reference purposes, you should write down the current Setup settings.
When you make changes to the settings, update this record.
BIOS Setup Program Modes
The BIOS Setup program has three modes of operation:
•
•
•
Normal mode for normal operations
Configure mode for clearing passwords (see Chapter 2 for instructions)
Recovery mode for BIOS recovery
The BIOS Setup Program Operating mode is controlled by the setting of the configuration jumper
block. The jumper is set to normal mode at the factory.
NOTE
✏
The Setup menus described in this section apply to the server boards with
BIOS identifier WD845.10A.86B. Server boards with other BIOS identifiers
might have differences in some of the Setup menu screens.
The BIOS Setup program can be used to view and change the BIOS settings for the server. 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. The menu bar is shown below.

Server Board Connectors
CAUTION
Many of the baseboard and front panel connectors provide operating voltage
(+5 V DC and +12 V DC, for example) to devices inside the server chassis,
such as fans and internal peripherals. These connectors are not overcurrent
protected. Do not use these connectors for powering devices external to the
server chassis. A fault in the load presented by the external devices could
cause damage to the server, the interconnecting cable, and the external
devices themselves.
