Terminology

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

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.

Intel Desktop Board D945GNT Specification Update 7

Summary of Changes

The following table indicates the Specification Changes, Errata, Specification

Clarifications, or Documentation Changes that apply to the Intel®Desktop Board

D945GNT. Intel intends to fix some of the errata in a future revision of the desktop

board, and to account for the other outstanding issues through documentation or

specification changes as noted.

The following notations are used in the table:

Doc: Document change or update that will be implemented.

Plan Fix: This erratum may be fixed in a future revision of the desktop board, driver, or BIOS.

Fixed: This erratum has been previously fixed.

No Fix: There are no plans to fix this erratum.

Shaded: This erratum is either new or modified from the previous version of the document.

No. Plans Specification Changes

1 Doc Change to Section 2.8.2.3, Add-in Card Connectors

2 Doc Changes to Section 1.9.2 Audio Connectors

3 Doc Changes to Section 1.10.3.1 Intel®82573E/82573V/82574V Gigabit Ethernet

Controller

No. Plans Errata

1 Plan Fix Hardware Monitoring and Fan Control Could Fail and Only Run at a Maximum or

Minimum PWM for CPU Fan

2 Plan Fix Digital Noise May Affect Audio Quality When Using the Rear MIC Input on boards with

a 6-Channel (5.1) Audio Subsystem

3 Plan Fix The placement of capacitors behind PCI Express* x1 connector slot 1 may prohibit

some PCI Express x1 add-in cards from properly connecting to the motherboard

Specification Changes

1. The following note will be added to the Technical Product Specification in

Section 2.8.2.3 Add-in Card Connectors:



NOTE

Capacitors required for the audio circuitry are located within the ATX keep-out

area near PCI Express* x1 slot 1, and may limit the use of some PCI Express

x1 cards.

8 Intel Desktop Board D945GNT Specification Update

2. The following note will be added to the Technical Product Specification in

Section 1.9.2 Audio Connectors:

 INTEGRATOR’S NOTES

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage desktop board components. Front-

panel connectors should provide sufficient protection to prevent ESD damage

to components inside the chassis enclosure.

3. Section 1.10.3.1 of the Technical Specification will be updated in its entirety as

follows to remove reference to Jumbo frame support.

1.10.3.1 Intel®82573E/82573V/82574V Gigabit Ethernet Controller

The Intel®82573E/82573V/82574V Gigabit Ethernet Controller supports the following

features:

•PCI Express link

•10/100/1000 IEEE 802.3 compliant

•Compliant to IEEE 802.3x flow control support

•TCP, IP, UDP checksum offload

•Transmit TCP segmentation

•Advanced packet filtering

•Full device driver compatibility

•PCI Express Power Management Support

Errata

1. Hardware Monitoring and Fan Control Could Fail and Only Run at a Maximum or

Minimum PWM for CPU Fan

PROBLEM:The Hardware Monitoring and Fan Control may only support up to 3.6V

on its Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) outputs. The 4-pin fans used with the Intel

Desktop board could have a pull up voltage as high as 5.25V, potentially causing

failures in the circuit used for fan control on this Intel Desktop Board.

IMPLICATION:If Hardware Monitoring and Fan Control fails due to this erratum, the

CPU fan could run at either 100% PWM, or at a minimum PWM (normally set to

30% PWM for four-pin CPU fans). A failure at 100% PWM could result in louder

system acoustics. A failure at minimum PWM may result in the reduced heat sink

efficiency being insufficient to fully support the processor thermal requirements at

some higher work loads. A variety of conditions such as room temperature, heat

sink characteristics, application, workload and chassis design will affect the impact

of the PWM failure. If the thermal requirements of the processor are not met, the

processor will attempt to reduce its own temperature. Depending on the severity

of the ASIC failure, this may result in a noticeable performance reduction.

WORKAROUND:None

STATUS:This erratum has been fixed. Refer to the Product Change Notification

105498-01 available at

http://developer.intel.com/design/pcn/MTHRBRD/index.htm.

Intel Desktop Board D945GNT Specification Update 9

2. Digital Noise May Affect Audio Quality When Using the Rear MIC Input on boards

with a 6-Channel (5.1) Audio Subsystem

PROBLEM:Digital noise may affect audio quality when using the rear MIC input on

boards with a 6-Channel (5.1) Audio Subsystem. The digital noise can affect the

MIC signal via the Codec’s MIC bias voltage.

IMPLICATION:Digital noise may be heard on the rear MIC input when systems are

used in the following configuration: input monitor enabled in drivers, MIC boost set

to 20dB gain, and MIC volume set to maximum. The digital noise may be heard

when recording voice, during voice chat, when dragging window around the screen,

or when opening and closing windows. No noise issues have been associated with

the front panel MIC input.

WORKAROUND:None

STATUS:This erratum may be fixed in a future board revision.

3. The placement of capacitors behind PCI Express* x1 connector slot 1 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 slot 1.

IMPLICATION:Some PCI Express x1 add-in cards may not fully connect to PCI

Express x1 connector slot 1, 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.
