LAN Wake Capabilities

Desktop Board Features

CAUTION

For LAN wake capabilities, the 5 V standby line for the power supply must be capable of delivering adequate +5 V standby current. Failure to provide adequate standby current when using this feature can damage the power supply.

LAN wakeup capabilities enable remote wake-up of the computer through a network. The LAN subsystem monitors network traffic and upon detecting a Magic Packet* frame, it asserts a wake-up signal that powers up the computer.

Instantly Available PC Technology

CAUTIONS

For Instantly Available PC technology, the 5 V standby line for the power supply must be capable of delivering adequate +5 V standby current. Failure to provide adequate standby current when using this feature can damage the power supply and/or effect ACPI S3 sleep state functionality.

Power supplies used with this desktop board must be able to provide enough standby current to support the standard Instantly Available (ACPI S3 sleep state) configuration. If the standby current necessary to support multiple wake events from the PCI and/or USB buses exceeds power supply capacity, the desktop board may lose register settings stored in memory.

Instantly Available PC technology enables the board to enter the ACPI S3 (Suspend-to- RAM) sleep state. While in the S3 sleep state, the computer will appear to be off. If the computer has a dual-colored power LED on the front panel, the sleep state is indicated by the LED turning amber. When signaled by a wake-up device or event, the computer quickly returns to its last known awake state.

The desktop board supports the PCI Bus Power Management Interface Specification. Add-in cards that support this specification can participate in power management and can be used to wake the computer.

DP965LT specifications

The Intel DP965LT is an advanced motherboard designed for the Intel Core 2 processor family, notable for its balance of performance, features, and reliability. Launched in the mid-2000s, it was particularly favored by enthusiasts and professionals looking for a powerful yet cost-effective solution for their computing needs.

At the heart of the DP965LT is the Intel P965 Express chipset, which plays a crucial role in facilitating strong data throughput and supporting high-performance components. One of its primary features is the LGA 775 socket, allowing users to install a broad array of Intel processors, including core 2 duo, quad, and Pentium series CPUs. This versatility makes it an appealing option for users aiming to upgrade their systems.

The motherboard supports dual-channel DDR2 memory, with four DIMM slots capable of accommodating up to 8 GB of RAM. This functionality ensures enhanced memory bandwidth, critical for multitasking and memory-intensive applications, effectively making it suitable for both gaming and professional workloads.

Another noteworthy feature is the integrated Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 3000, which allows for basic graphics processing duties without requiring a dedicated GPU. This makes the DP965LT a viable option for users who may not require extreme gaming performance but still need solid visual capabilities for general use. For those who seek enhanced graphics performance, the board also offers an open PCI Express x16 slot for enthusiasts to install high-end graphics cards.

Connectivity options are plentiful, including six SATA II ports, which provide high-speed storage options and support for RAID configurations, allowing users to enhance data redundancy and performance. Additionally, the motherboard includes multiple USB 2.0 ports, a legacy parallel port, as well as an onboard Ethernet controller for seamless networking capabilities.

The DP965LT also incorporates Intel's Active Management Technology, which allows for remote management and system diagnostics, making it suitable for corporate environments where IT administrators require the ability to oversee and maintain multiple machines efficiently.

Another hallmark of the DP965LT is its form factor, which is ATX. This design not only allows for easy installation in a variety of cases but also facilitates better airflow and cooling solutions, important for maintaining system stability during heavy usage.

In summary, the Intel DP965LT motherboard stands as a reliable and powerful choice for users seeking a balance of performance, expandability, and features in their computing setup, making it a lasting legacy in Intel's motherboard lineup.
