Nomenclature 
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 board D865PCD’s behavior 
to deviate from published specifications. Hardware and software designed to be used with any given Altered 
Assembly (AA) and BIOS revision level 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. 
Documentation Changes include typos, errors, or omissions from the current published specifications. 
These changes will be incorporated in the next release of the specifications.
