Intel® Desktop Board D915PLWD Specification Update ERRATA 1. DMI Fields May Be Overwritten During a BIOS Update PROBLEM: Updating from a BIOS release prior to VG91510A.86A.0046 could overwrite SMBIOS fields. IMPLICATION: SMBIOS contents could be overwritten during a BIOS update. Recovery CDs or other software that reads this data before running on a system may not be able to verify the correct board ID. WORKAROUND: A special BIOS update to BIOS VG91510A.86A.0048 will save and restore the contents during the BIOS update process. Once updated to this BIOS, the boards may be updated to future BIOS releases with no special requirements. STATUS: This erratum may be fixed in a future board revision. 2. The placement of capacitors behind PCI Express* x1 connector slots 1 and 2 may prohibit some PCI Express x1 add-in cards from properly connecting to the motherboard. PROBLEM: Due to the design and placement of the audio circuitry on this motherboard, it was necessary to position capacitors in the keep-out zone behind PCI Express* x1 connector slots 1 and 2. IMPLICATION: Some PCI Express x1 add-in cards may not fully connect to PCI Express x1 connector slots 1 and 2, due to interference between capacitors in the keep-out zone and I/O connectors on the add-in card that are located on the I/O bracket, in line with the edge fingers on the card. WORKAROUND: None STATUS: MAY BE FIXED IN A LATER HARDWARE REVISION. 6
