(Order Number: 316982)
•Intel®Celeron®Processor 400ΔSequence on 65 nm Process Specification Update
(Order Number: 316964)
Unless otherwise noted in this document, it should be assumed that any processor
errata for a given stepping are applicable to the Altered Assembly (AA) revision(s)
associated with that stepping.
Refer to the Intel®4 Series Express Chipset Family Specification Update (Order
Number 319971) for specification updates concerning the 82P43 MCH Controller and
that may apply to the desktop board DP43BFL. Unless otherwise noted in this
document, it should be assumed that any MCH errata for a given stepping are
applicable to the Altered Assembly (AA) revision(s) associated with that stepping.
Refer to the Intel®I/O Controller Hub10 (ICH10) Family Specification Update (Order
Number 319974) for specification updates concerning the 82801JIB I/O Controller Hub
and that may apply to the desktop board DP43BFL. Unless otherwise noted in this
document, it should be assumed that any ICH10 errata for a given stepping are
applicable to the Altered Assembly (AA) revision(s) associated with that stepping.

Intel Desktop Board DP43BFL Specification Update 5
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
board 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.

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 Updated Section 2.7 Reliability to include new MTBF calculations.
2 Doc Updated Section 1.5 Memory to correct memory voltage.
No. Plans Errata
There are no characterized erratum for this product
Specification Changes
The Specification Changes listed in this section apply to the Intel®Desktop Board
DP43BFL Technical Product Specification (Order Number E90027).
1. Updated Section 2.7 Reliability to include new MTBF calculations.
2.7 Reliability
The Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) prediction is calculated using component and
subassembly random failure rates. The calculation is based on the Telcordia SR-332,
Method I Case 1 50% electrical stress, 55 ºC ambient. The MTBF prediction is used to
estimate repair rates and spare parts requirements.
The MTBF data is calculated from predicted data at 55 ºC. The Intel Desktop Board
DP43BFL MTBF is 260,139.86 hours.

2. Updated Section 1.5 Memory to correct memory voltage.
1.5 System Memory
The board has four DIMM sockets and supports the following memory features:
•1.5 V DDR3 800 MHz, DDR3 1066 MHz, and DDR3 1333 (OC) MHz SDRAM DIMMs
•Two independent memory channels with interleaved mode support
•Unbuffered, single-sided or double-sided DIMMs with the following restriction:
