ERRATA, The IEEE-1394a Interface May Lose Link Connection

Page 12 highlights

Intel® Desktop Board D915GVWB Specification Update ERRATA 1. The IEEE-1394a Interface May Lose Link Connection When Transferring Files From Some IEEE-1394a DVD/CD-ROM Devices PROBLEM: PCI frequency noise between GND and the IEEE-1394a analog ground (AGND), in excess of 1V peak to peak, has been measured when transferring files from an IEEE-1394a DVD/CD-ROM device and an IDE Hard Disk Drive. The presence of this noise causes an IEEE-1394a link drop off with certain IEEE-1394a DVD/CD-ROM devices. IMPLICATION: Users may experience the IEEE-1394a link drop when transferring files from some IEEE-1394a DVD/CD-ROM devices. This failure has been observed with a very limited number of IEEE-1394a DVD/CD-ROM devices. The failure is masked when the system is configured with a minimum of two PCI cards. This failure is considered a low risk. WORKAROUND: None. STATUS: This erratum may be fixed in a future hardware revision. 2. Wake On LAN May Not Function After Loss and Restore of AC Power PROBLEM: If AC power is removed, Wake On LAN may not function until the LAN circuit is re- initialized. The sequence of events is as follows: • AC power removed (AC power cord disconnected, for example) • AC power restored. +5V Standby voltage is re-applied to the board • Wake On LAN may not be functional • Switch power on • Switch power off to put system back into Standby mode (S5 state) • Wake On LAN functionality restored IMPLICATION: Wake on LAN will not function if AC power is interrupted. WORKAROUND: In the BIOS Setup program, set After Power Failure to "Power On" in the Power Menu. STATUS: This erratum may be fixed in a future BIOS revision. 6

The IEEE-1394a Interface May Lose Link Connection
When Transferring Files From Some IEEE-1394a
DVD/CD-ROM Devices
P
ROBLEM
:
PCI frequency noise between GND and the IEEE-1394a analog ground (AGND), in
excess of 1V peak to peak, has been measured when transferring files from an IEEE-1394a
DVD/CD-ROM device and an IDE Hard Disk Drive.
The presence of this noise causes an
IEEE-1394a link drop off with certain IEEE-1394a DVD/CD-ROM devices.

MPLICATION
:
Users may experience the IEEE-1394a link drop when transferring files from
some IEEE-1394a DVD/CD-ROM devices.
This failure has been observed with a very limited
number of IEEE-1394a DVD/CD-ROM devices.
The failure is masked when the system is
configured with a minimum of two PCI cards. This failure is considered a low risk.

AC power restored.
+5V Standby voltage is re-applied to the board
Wake On LAN may not be functional
Switch power on
Switch power off to put system back into Standby mode (S5 state)
Wake On LAN functionality restored
