Intel Desktop Board D845PEBT2 Specification Update ✏ NOTE The SMBus routing to the PCI bus connectors does not conform to the PCI Engineering Change Notice (ECN) "Addition of the SMBus to the PCI Connector ECN", dated October 5th, 2000. The ECN specifies that SMBus signals must be routed to all PCI bus connectors. On this board, SMBus signals are routed to PCI bus connector 1 or 2 only (See Table 29). Add-in cards that implement PCI bus connector pins A40 and A41 for any purpose other than SMBCLK (SMBus clock) and SMBDAT (SMBus data) should not be installed in either PCI bus connector 1 or 2 depending on the board configuration (See Table 29). For information about Addition of the SMBus to the PCI Connector ECN Refer to http://www.pcisig.com/data/s pecifications/smb_ecn_0405 01.pdf ✏ NOTE This document references back-panel slot numbering with respect to processor location on the Desktop Board D845PEBT2. The AGP slot is not numbered. PCI slots are identified as PCI slot #x, starting with the slot closest to the processor. The ATX specification identifies expansion slot locations with respect to the far edge of a full-sized ATX chassis. The ATX specification and the Desktop Board D845PEBT2's silkscreen are opposite and could cause confusion. The ATX numbering convention is made without respect to slot type (PCI vs. AGP), but refers to an actual slot location on a chassis. Figure 14 on page 61 illustrates the Desktop Board D845PEBT2's PCI slot numbering. 8

NOTE
The SMBus routing to the PCI bus connectors does not conform to the PCI
Engineering Change Notice (ECN) “Addition of the SMBus to the PCI Connector
ECN”, dated October 5th, 2000.
The ECN specifies that SMBus signals must be
routed to all PCI bus connectors.
On this board, SMBus signals are routed to
PCI bus connector 1 or 2 only (See Table 29).
Add-in cards that implement PCI bus connector pins A40 and A41 for any
purpose other than SMBCLK (SMBus clock) and SMBDAT (SMBus data) should
not be installed in either PCI bus connector 1 or 2 depending on the board
configuration (See Table 29).

NOTE
This document references back-panel slot numbering with respect to processor
location on the Desktop Board D845PEBT2.
The AGP slot is not numbered.
PCI
slots are identified as PCI slot #x, starting with the slot closest to the processor.
The ATX specification identifies expansion slot locations with respect to the far
edge of a full-sized ATX chassis.
The ATX specification and the Desktop Board
D845PEBT2’s silkscreen are opposite and could cause confusion.
The ATX
numbering convention is made without respect to slot type (PCI vs. AGP), but
refers to an actual slot location on a chassis.
Figure 14 on page 61 illustrates
the Desktop Board D845PEBT2’s PCI slot numbering.
