manual abstract
It is intended for hardware system manufacturers and software developers of applications, operating systems, or tools. It will contain Specification Changes, Errata, Specification Clarifications, and Documentation Changes. For specification updates concerning the Intel processor that may apply to this desktop board, refer to the Intel® Core™ i7 Processor Extreme Edition Series and Intel® Core™ i7 Processor Specification Update (Order Number: 320836) 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® X58 Express Chipset Specification Update (Order Number: 320839) for specification updates concerning the X58 IOH Controller and that may apply to the desktop board DX58SO. Unless otherwise noted in this document, it should be assumed that any IOH 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 Hub 10 (ICH10) Family Specification Update (Order Number: 319974) for specification updates concerning the 82801GB ICH7 and 82801GR ICH7R I/O Controller Hub and that may apply to the desktop board DG31GL. Unless otherwise noted in this document, it should be assumed that any ICH 7 errata for a given stepping are applicable to the Altered Assembly (AA) revision(s) associated with that stepping. Intel Desktop Board DX58SO Specification Update Terminology Terminology 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.

The AA number is found on a small label on the component side of the board. 2. The X58 Chipset kit used on this AA revision consists of two components as follows: Device Stepping S-Spec Numbers 82X58 (IOH) B2 SLGBT 82X58 (IOH) B3 SLGMX F82801JIR (ICH10R) A0 SLB8S Intel Desktop Board DX58SO Specification Update Summary of Changes Summary of Changes ® Desktop Board DX58SO. 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. PlanFix: This erratum may be fixed in a future revision of the desktop board, driver, or BIOS. Fixed: This erratum has been previously fixed. NoFix: 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 Added Note to Section 2.1 Memory Resources 2 Doc Updated Section 1.5 System Memory 3 Doc Add additional information to Section 1.5 System Memory No. Plans Errata There is no characterized erratum for this product Specification Changes The Specification Changes listed in this section apply to the Intel® Desktop Board DX58SO Technical Product Specification (Order Number E59290). 1. Added Note to Section 2.1 Memory Resources section. NOTE Due to limitations imposed by the original IBM PC-AT specification the total peripheral option space is 128KB. The impact of this limitation is that it may not be possible to use multiple add-in cards, which have legacy option-ROMs, in conjunction with the DX58SO’s on board devices due to the limited space available. Examples of these cards are LAN, RAID, and graphics cards. The symptom of over-crowded option ROM space is that some devices will not be initialized and therefore will not function correctly, or not appear in the operating system.
