2.12 Thermal Considerations
CAUTION
The use of an Intel®Pentium®4 processor operating above 2.80 GHz with this
Intel®desktop board requires the following:
• A chassis with appropriate airflow to ensure proper cooling of the
components on the board
• A processor fan heatsink that meets the thermal performance targets for
Pentium 4 processors operating above 2.80 GHz
The use of an Intel Pentium 4 processor with 1 MB of L2 cache on this Intel
desktop board requires the following:
• A chassis with a maximum internal ambient temperature of 38 Degrees
Celsius
• A processor heatsink that provides omnidirectional airflow so that air is
drawn across the processor voltage regulator area (item A in Figure 30).
Figure 29a illustrates an omnidirectional airflow heatsink.

Intel®Desktop Board D865PERL Specification Update

Figure 29a. Omnidirectional Airflow Heatsink
Failure to ensure appropriate airflow may result in reduced performance of both
the processor and/or voltage regulator or, in some instances, damage to the
desktop board. For a list of chassis that have been tested with Intel®desktop
boards please refer to the following website:
http://developer.intel.com/design/motherbd/cooling.htm
All responsibility for determining the adequacy of any thermal or system design
remains solely with the reader. Intel makes no warranties or representations that
merely following the instructions presented in this document will result in a
system with adequate thermal performance.
CAUTION
Ensure that the ambient temperature does not exceed the Desktop Board
D865PERL’s maximum operating temperature. Failure to do so could cause
components to exceed their maximum case temperature and malfunction. For
information about the maximum operating temperature, see the environmental
specifications in Section 2.14.

Intel®Desktop Board D865PERL Specification Update

5. Change to Description of Section 1.7.3.3, Serial ATA RAID.
Addition of RAID 1 Support
Section 1.7.3.3 will change in its entirety as follows:
1.7.3.3 Serial ATA RAID
The ICH5-R supports RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Drives) level 0
and level 1 on the Serial ATA ports. RAID 0 provides the ability to support
striping. Two physical drives, of identical size, can be teamed together to create
one logical drive. As data is written or retrieved from the logical drive, both
drives operate in parallel, thus increasing the throughput. RAID 1 provides the
support of disk mirroring. Data is written simultaneously to two physical drives,
of identical size, providing fault tolerance if one of the two drives fails.
✏NOTE
The ICH5-R provides support for RAID O, RAID 1 and RAID boot in
Windows* XP and Windows 2000 only.

Intel®Desktop Board D865PERL Specification Update

ERRATA
1. Audio Driver Creates a Popping Noise During Operating System
Startup
PROBLEM:The audio jack-sensing feature requires reading the impedance of the device connected to the
audio jack. A voltage is needed so a current can be measured, and the impedance is derived from the
voltage and current. The application of the voltage results in a popping noise that is emitted from the
speakers.
IMPLICATION:A popping noise from the speakers may be heard at the end of the operating system startup
tune, while loading Microsoft Windows operating systems.
WORKAROUND:None.
STATUS:This erratum will not be fixed.
2. Front Panel Audio Connector Signals Routed Incorrectly
PROBLEM:The front panel audio connector pin definition is not correct. Pin 4 is defined as +5 V and should
be ground. Pin 7 is defined as ground and should be +5V.
IMPLICATION:Front panel audio cards that route their +5 V rail to Pin 4 will not function correctly.
WORKAROUND:Front panel audio cards that require +5 V should route the +5 V rail to Pin 7.
STATUS:This erratum may be fixed in a future hardware revision.
3. PCI Slot 1 Cannot be Used With Long PCI Add-in Cards
PROBLEM:A tall capacitor is located 3 ¼ inches behind PCI slot 1.
IMPLICATION:PCI cards conforming to the PCI specification but exceed 8 inches in length, may not be
useable in PCI slot 1.
WORKAROUND:None.
STATUS:This erratum may be fixed in a future hardware revision.

Intel®Desktop Board D865PERL Specification Update
13
4. Advance Jack Sense May Not Recognize Devices Connected to a
Front Panel Audio Port
PROBLEM:The advanced jack sense with Auto Topology Switching, that is used by the audio codec to
recognize what device is connected to an audio port, may fail to report devices connected to a front-panel
port.
IMPLICATION:Devices connected through a front panel audio port will be detected and function correctly, but
the advance jack sense wizard will only report the device at start up.
WORKAROUND:None.
STATUS:This erratum will not be fixed.
5. Advance Jack Sense on Boards with 6-Channel Audio Will Report
“Microphone” for Any Device Connected to the Back Panel
Microphone Port (Pink)
PROBLEM:For boards with 6-channel audio, the advanced jack sense with Auto Topology Switching, that is
used by the audio codec to recognize what device is connected to an audio port, will report “Microphone” for
any device connected to the back panel pink microphone port.
IMPLICATION:The advanced jack sense wizard will report any device connected through the back panel
microphone port to be a “Microphone” and the wizard will prompt the user to verify this detection assumption.
WORKAROUND:None.
STATUS:This erratum will not be fixed.
6. Advance Jack Sense Will Not Detect Devices Connected to the
Center/LFE and Surround Ports
PROBLEM: Polling devices connected to the Center/LFE and Surround port would cause popping noise once
speakers are connected. Due to this anomaly, the advance jack sense wizard will not poll and report devices
connected to the Center/LFE and Surround ports although these devices will work correctly.
IMPLICATION:Devices connected to the Center/LFE or Surround port will be detected and function correctly,
but the advance jack sense wizard will not poll and report the device.
WORKAROUND:None.
STATUS:This erratum will not be fixed.
7. Advance Jack Sense May Report Amplified Speakers as an Array
Microphone When Connected to The Microphone Port (Pink)
PROBLEM:The presence of voltage bias on the microphone jack during the detection phase is required for
accurate detection, but amplified speakers and array microphones have very similar impedance values.
IMPLICATION:Amplified speakers will be detected and function correctly, but the advance jack sense
wizard may report the device as an array microphone.

Intel®Desktop Board D865PERL Specification Update
14
WORKAROUND:None.
STATUS:This erratum will not be fixed.
8. An Additional Reboot May Be Required After Installing Audio
Drivers for Microsoft Windows 98SE or Windows ME
PROBLEM: An application post-installer completes the driver installation and requires an additional reboot to
get full functionality in Windows 98SE or Windows ME.
IMPLICATION:An additional reboot is required after installing audio drivers for Windows 98SE or
Windows ME.
WORKAROUND: None.
STATUS:This erratum will not be fixed.
9. System Memory May Be Reduced in Excess of the Amount of AGP
Aperture Size When 4GB of System Memory are Used
PROBLEM:The AGP aperture size setting in the system BIOS will consume, from available system memory,
2 times the amount applied in the AGP aperture setting when the maximum of 4 GB of system memory is
installed.
IMPLICATION:When 4GB of system memory are used, and system memory is allocated to AGP aperture
size in BIOS Setup, available system memory may be reduced by twice the amount allocated. A similar
impact to available system memory may occur from any allocation of system memory when 4 GB of system
memory is used. For example, increasing the video frame buffer in BIOS may also reduce available memory
in excess of the amount requested.
WORKAROUND:None.
STATUS:This erratum may be fixed in a future BIOS revision.
10. Some Systems May Hang if the Mouse is Moved When Entering
Standby Mode
PROBLEM:Moving the mouse after placing the system into standby with the mouse may cause the system
to immediately awaken and hang.
IMPLICATION:The system may hang if the user is moving the mouse directly after using the mouse to place
the system into standby mode.
WORKAROUND:None.
STATUS:This erratum may be fixed in a future board revision.
