Intel D815EEA2 Reference guide

Intel introduces the new Intel®Desktop Boards, D815EEA2 and D815EPEA2,
designed to utilize proven technology, excellent design and solid performance.
The Intel®815E and the Intel®815EP chipsets offer two platform options:
Intel®Desktop Board D815EEA2 features the Intel®815E chipset with Intel integrated graphics.
Intel®Desktop Board D815EPEA2 features the Intel®815EP chipset without integrated graphics.
Solid Performance
As second-generation boards, D815EEA2 and D815EPEA2
offer additional features for increased flexibility in a
cost-effective platform. System integrators can
confidently offer value, reliability and multiple
options to fit their customer’s needs. They are
powerful and productive desktop boards with the
right features to optimize desktop PC solutions.
Outstanding Flexibility
With D815EEA2 and D815EPEA2 integrators can design and build custom configurations based on
specific technology requirements, while maintaining the flexibility to alter or upgrade later.
Numerous options allow both desktop boards to be integrated to fit the user’s needs including
Intel®PRO/100 Network Connection (integrated LAN). Both desktop boards support the
performance of Intel®Pentium®III processors with 133/100-MHz system bus as well as the value
of Intel®Celeron™processors with 100/66-MHz system bus. Five PCI slots allow further expansion
of the board’s capabilities. Graphics are flexible with the choice of utilizing Intel integrated graphics
(D815EEA2) or adding a high-performance Universal 4X AGP card (both D815EEA2 and D815EPEA2)
for gamers or customers using graphic intensive applications.
Continued Technology Leadership
Designed to support leading-edge technologies, Desktop Boards D815EEA2 and D815EPEA2 ensure
maximum productivity and reliability. These full-featured ATX desktop boards utilize three DIMM sockets
for a maximum of 512 MB of memory.
Additional platform enhancements include:
• Digital Video Output (DVO), supports flat panel, digital CRT or TV-Out cards (D815EEA2 only)
• Ultra ATA/100, disk support for faster disk access
• Intel®Rapid BIOS Boot, speeds up the Power On Self Test (POST)
• Instantly Available PC (Suspend-to-RAM), enables advanced power saving features
• Intel®Active Monitor, monitors system’s temperatures, power supply voltages and fan speeds
