Intel Desktop Board D845EBT Specification Update PREFACE This document is an update to the specifications contained in the Intel Desktop Board D845EBT Technical Product Specification (Order number A92200). It is intended for hardware system manufacturers and software developers of applications, operating systems, or tools. It will contain Specification Changes, Errata, Specification Clarifications, and Documentation Changes. Refer to the Intel  Pentium 4 Processor Specification Update (Order number 249199) for specification updates concerning the Intel Pentium 4 processor and that may apply to the desktop board D845EBT. Unless otherwise noted in this document, it should be assumed that any processor errata for a given stepping are applicable to the Altered Assembly (AA) revision(s) associated with that stepping. Refer to the Intel  82845E Chipset: 82845 Memory Controller Hub (MCH) for DDR Specification Update (Order Number 290743) for specification updates concerning the 82845E MCH Controller and that may apply to the desktop board D845EBT. Unless otherwise noted in this document, it should be assumed that any MCH errata for a given stepping are applicable to the Altered Assembly (AA) revision(s) associated with that stepping. Refer to the Intel  82801DB I/O Controller Hub 4 (ICH4) Specification Update (Order Number 290745) for specification updates concerning the 82801DB I/O Controller Hub and that may apply to the desktop board D845EBT. Unless otherwise noted in this document, it should be assumed that any ICH errata for a given stepping are applicable to the Altered Assembly (AA) revision(s) associated with that stepping. Nomenclature Specification Changes are modifications to the current published specifications. These changes will be incorporated in the next release of the specifications. Errata are design defects or errors. Characterized errata may cause the desktop board D845EBT's behavior to deviate from published specifications. Hardware and software designed to be used with any given Altered Assembly (AA) and BIOS revision level must assume that all errata documented for that AA and BIOS revision level are present on all desktop boards. Specification Clarifications describe a specification in greater detail or further highlight a specification's impact to a complex design situation. These clarifications will be incorporated in the next release of the specifications. Documentation Changes include typos, errors, or omissions from the current published specifications. These changes will be incorporated in the next release of the specifications. vi

PREFACE
This document is an update to the specifications contained in the
Intel
Desktop Board D845EBT Technical
Product Specification
(Order number A92200).
It is intended for hardware system manufacturers and
software developers of applications, operating systems, or tools.
It will contain Specification Changes,
Errata, Specification Clarifications, and Documentation Changes.
Refer to the
Intel
Pentium
4 Processor Specification Update
(Order number 249199) for specification
updates concerning the Intel Pentium 4 processor and that may apply to the desktop board D845EBT.
Unless otherwise noted in this document, it should be assumed that any processor errata for a given stepping
are applicable to the Altered Assembly (AA) revision(s) associated with that stepping.
Refer to the
Intel
82845E Chipset:
82845
Memory Controller Hub (MCH) for DDR Specification Update
(Order Number 290743) for specification updates concerning the 82845E MCH Controller and that may apply
to the desktop board D845EBT.
Unless otherwise noted in this document, it should be assumed that any
MCH errata for a given stepping are applicable to the Altered Assembly (AA) revision(s) associated with that
stepping.
Refer to the
Intel
82801DB I/O Controller Hub 4 (ICH4) Specification Update
(Order Number 290745) for
specification updates concerning the 82801DB I/O Controller Hub and that may apply to the desktop board
D845EBT.
Unless otherwise noted in this document, it should be assumed that any ICH errata for a given
stepping are applicable to the Altered Assembly (AA) revision(s) associated with that stepping.
Nomenclature
Specification Changes
are modifications to the current published specifications.
These changes will be
incorporated in the next release of the specifications.
Errata
are design defects or errors.
Characterized errata may cause the desktop board D845EBT
s behavior
to deviate from published specifications.
Hardware and software designed to be used with any given Altered
Assembly (AA) and BIOS revision level must assume that all errata documented for that AA and BIOS
revision level are present on all desktop boards.
Specification Clarifications
describe a specification in greater detail or further highlight a specification
s
impact to a complex design situation.
These clarifications will be incorporated in the next release of the
specifications.
Documentation Changes
include typos, errors, or omissions from the current published specifications.
These changes will be incorporated in the next release of the specifications.
