Expandability
Intel Desktop Board DH61BE provides the following expansion capability:
One PCI Express 2.0 x16 interface
Two PCI Express 2.0 x1 interfaces
One Conventional PCI bus interface
Legacy I/O
The board’s Legacy I/O Controller provides the following legacy features:
PS/2 back panel connector for mouse/keyboard support
One serial port header
One parallel port connector on the back panel
Serial IRQ interface compatible with serialized IRQ support for Conventional PCI
bus systems
Intelligent power management, including a programmable wake-up event interface
Conventional PCI bus power management support
The BIOS Setup program provides configuration options for the Legacy I/O controller.
BIOS
The BIOS provides the Power-On Self-Test (POST), the BIOS Setup program, and the
PCI/PCI Express and SATA auto-configuration utilities.
The BIOS is stored in the Serial
Peripheral Interface (SPI) Flash memory device.
The BIOS can be updated by following the instructions in Chapter 3 starting on
page 61.
SATA Auto Configuration
If you install a SATA device (such as a hard disk drive) in your computer, the auto-
configuration utility in the BIOS automatically detects and configures the device for
your computer.
You do not need to run the BIOS Setup program after installing a
SATA device.
You can override the auto-configuration options by specifying manual
configuration in the BIOS Setup program.
PCI*/PCI Express Auto Configuration
If you install a Conventional PCI or PCI Express add-in card in your computer, the
PCI/PCI Express auto-configuration utility in the BIOS automatically detects and
configures the resources (IRQs, DMA channels, and I/O space) for that add-in card.
You do not need to run the BIOS Setup program after you install a Conventional PCI or
PCI Express add-in card.
