Memory Configurations
The processor supports the following types of memory organization:
•
•
20
Dual channel (Interleaved) mode. This mode offers the highest throughput for
real world applications. Dual channel mode is enabled when the installed memory
capacities of both SO-DIMM channels are equal. Technology and device width can
vary from one channel to the other but the installed memory capacity for each
channel must be equal. If different speed SO-DIMMs are used between channels,
the slowest memory timing will be used.
Single channel (Asymmetric) mode. This mode is equivalent to single channel
bandwidth operation for real world applications. This mode is used when only a
single SO-DIMM is installed or the memory capacities are unequal. Technology and
device width can vary from one channel to the other. If different speed SO-DIMMs
are used between channels, the slowest memory timing will be used.

Resources used by the chipset
Chapter 2
1.5.1
Direct Media Interface (DMI)
Direct Media Interface (DMI) is the chip-to-chip connection between the processor and
PCH. This high-speed interface integrates advanced priority-based servicing allowing
for concurrent traffic and true isochronous transfer capabilities.
1.5.2
Display Interfaces
Display is divided between the processor and the PCH. The processor houses the
memory interface, display planes, and pipes while the PCH has transcoder and display
interface or ports. The PCH receives the display data over Intel® Flexible Display
Interface (Intel® FDI) and transcodes the data as per the display technology protocol
and sends the data through the display interface.
1.5.2.1
Intel® Flexible Display Interconnect (Intel® FDI)
Intel FDI connects the display engine in the processor with the display interfaces on
the PCH. The display data from the frame buffer is processed in the display engine of
the processor and sent to the PCH over the Intel FDI where it is transcoded as per the
display protocol and driven to the display monitor.
1.5.2.2
High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP)
HDCP is the technology for protecting high definition content against unauthorized
copy or unreceptive between a source (computer, digital set top boxes, etc.) and the
sink (panels, monitor, and TVs). The PCH supports HDCP 1.4 for content protection
over wired displays (HDMI).

Video Memory Allocation
®
Intel Dynamic Video Memory Technology (DVMT) is a method for dynamically
allocating system memory for use as graphics memory to balance 2D/3D graphics and
system performance. If your computer is configured to use DVMT, graphics memory is
allocated based on system requirements and application demands (up to the
configured maximum amount). When memory is no longer needed by an application,
the dynamically allocated portion of memory is returned to the operating system for
other uses.
1.6.1.3
High Definition Multimedia Interface* (HDMI*)
The HDMI port supports standard, enhanced, or high definition video, plus multichannel digital audio on a single cable. Each port is compatible with all ATSC and DVB
HDTV standards and supports eight full range channels at 24-bit/96 kHz audio of
lossless audio formats such as Dolby* TrueHD or DTS* HD Master Audio. The
maximum supported resolution is 1920 x 1200 (WUXGA). The HDMI port is compliant

High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP)
HDCP is the technology for protecting high definition content against unauthorized
copy or interception between a source (computer, digital set top boxes, etc.) and the
sink (panels, monitor, and TVs). The PCH supports HDCP 1.4 for content protection
over wired displays (HDMI and DisplayPort).
1.6.2
USB
The board supports USB 2.0/3.0 ports. The port arrangement is as follows:
•
USB 2.0 ports:
 Two front panel ports are implemented through one dual-port internal header
 Two ports are implemented with vertical back panel connectors
 One port is reserved for the PCI Express Half-Mini Card
•
 One port is reserved for the PCI Express Full-Mini Card
One front panel USB 3.0 port is implemented through an external connector (blue)
All USB 2.0/3.0 ports are high-speed, full-speed, and low-speed capable.

Real-Time Clock Subsystem
A coin-cell battery (CR2032) powers the real-time clock and CMOS memory. When the
computer is not plugged into a wall socket, the battery has an estimated life of three
years. When the computer is plugged in, the standby current from the power supply
extends the life of the battery. The clock is accurate to ± 13 minutes/year at 25 ºC
with 3.3 VSB applied via the power supply 5 V STBY rail.
NOTE
If the battery and AC power fail, date and time values will be reset and the user will be
notified during the POST.
When the voltage drops below a certain level, the BIOS Setup program settings stored
in CMOS RAM (for example, the date and time) might not be accurate. Replace the
battery with an equivalent one. Figure 1 on page 13 shows the location of the battery.

System States and Power States
Under ACPI, the operating system directs all system and device power state
transitions. The operating system puts devices in and out of low-power states based
on user preferences and knowledge of how devices are being used by applications.
Devices that are not being used can be turned off. The operating system uses
information from applications and user settings to put the system as a whole into a
low-power state.
Table 8 lists the power states supported by the board along with the associated system
power targets. See the ACPI specification for a complete description of the various
system and power states.

Memory Resources
2.1.1
Addressable Memory
The board utilizes 16 GB of addressable system memory. Typically the address space
that is allocated for PCI Conventional bus add-in cards, PCI Express configuration
space, BIOS (SPI Flash device), and chipset overhead resides above the top of DRAM
(total system memory). On a system that has 16 GB of system memory installed, it is
not possible to use all of the installed memory due to system address space being
allocated for other system critical functions. These functions include the following:
•
•
•
•
•
•
BIOS/SPI Flash device (128 Mb)
Local APIC (19 MB)
Direct Media Interface (40 MB)
PCI Express configuration space (256 MB)
PCH base address registers PCI Express ports (up to 256 MB)
Memory-mapped I/O that is dynamically allocated for PCI Express add-in cards
(256 MB)
The board provides the capability to reclaim the physical memory overlapped by the
memory mapped I/O logical address space. The board remaps physical memory from
the top of usable DRAM boundary to the 4 GB boundary to an equivalent sized logical
address range located just above the 4 GB boundary. Figure 8 shows a schematic of
the system memory map. All installed system memory can be used when there is no
overlap of system addresses.

Connectors and Headers
CAUTION
Only the following connectors and headers have overcurrent protection: back panel
and front panel USB.
The other internal connectors and headers are not overcurrent protected and should
connect only to devices inside the computer’s chassis, such as fans and internal
peripherals. Do not use these connectors or headers to power devices external to the
computer’s chassis. A fault in the load presented by the external devices could cause
damage to the computer, the power cable, and the external devices themselves.
Furthermore, improper connection of USB header single wire connectors may
eventually overload the overcurrent protection and cause damage to the board.

Electrical Considerations
Power Supply Considerations
CAUTION
The external 19 V DC jack is the primary power input connector of Intel NUC Board
D53427RKE. However, the board also provides an internal 1 x 2 power connector that
can be used in custom-developed systems that have a custom internal power supply.
The internal 1 x 2 power connector is a Molex 5566-2 header which accepts a Molex
5557-02R connector from the power supply.
There is no isolation circuitry between the external 19 V DC jack and the internal 1 x 2
power connector. It is the system integrator’s responsibility to ensure no more than
one power supply unit is or can be attached to the board at any time and to ensure the
external 19 V DC jack is covered if the internal 1 x 2 power connector is to be used.
Simultaneous connection of both external and internal power supply units could result
in potential damage to the board, power supplies, or other hardware.
System power requirements will depend on actual system configurations chosen by the
integrator, as well as end user expansion preferences. It is the system integrator’s
responsibility to ensure an appropriate power budget for the system configuration is
properly assessed based on the system-level components chosen.

Thermal Considerations
CAUTION
A chassis with a maximum internal ambient temperature of 58 oC at the processor fan
inlet is a requirement. Whenever possible, use of a processor heat sink that provides
omni-directional airflow to maintain required airflow across the processor voltage
regulator area is recommended.
CAUTION
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 board.
All responsibility for determining the adequacy of any thermal or system design
remains solely with the system integrator. 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 board’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 2.8.
CAUTION
The processor voltage regulator area (shown in Figure 15) can reach a temperature of
up to 97.5 oC in an open chassis. Ensure that proper airflow is maintained in the
processor voltage regulator circuit. Failure to do so may result in shorter than
expected product lifetime.

To ensure functionality and reliability, the component is specified for proper operation
when Case Temperature is maintained at or below the maximum temperature listed in
Table 20. This is a requirement for sustained power dissipation equal to Thermal
Design Power (TDP is specified as the maximum sustainable power to be dissipated by
the components). When the component is dissipating less than TDP, the case
temperature should be below the Maximum Case Temperature. The surface
temperature at the geometric center of the component corresponds to Case
Temperature.
It is important to note that the temperature measurement in the system BIOS is a
value reported by embedded thermal sensors in the components and does not directly
correspond to the Maximum Case Temperature. The upper operating limit when
monitoring this thermal sensor is Tcontrol.

Overview of BIOS Features
3.1
Introduction
The board uses an Intel® Visual BIOS that is stored in the Serial Peripheral Interface
Flash Memory (SPI Flash) and can be updated using a disk-based program. The SPI
Flash contains the Visual BIOS Setup program, POST, the PCI auto-configuration
utility, LAN EEPROM information, and Plug and Play support.
The BIOS displays a message during POST identifying the type of BIOS and a revision
code. The initial production BIOSs are identified as RKPPT10H.86A.
When the BIOS Setup configuration jumper is set to configure mode and the computer
is powered-up, the BIOS compares the CPU version and the microcode version in the
BIOS and reports if the two match.
The Visual BIOS Setup program can be used to view and change the BIOS settings for
the computer. The BIOS Setup program is accessed by pressing the <F2> key after
the Power-On Self-Test (POST) memory test begins and before the operating system
boot begins.
Figure 16. Intel Visual BIOS Home Screen
61
Intel NUC D53427RKE Technical Product Specification
NOTE
The maintenance menu is displayed only when the board is in configure mode.
Section 2.3 on page 52 shows how to put the board in configure mode.
3.2
BIOS Flash Memory Organization
The Serial Peripheral Interface Flash Memory (SPI Flash) includes a 128 Mb
(16000 KB) flash memory device.
3.3
System Management BIOS (SMBIOS)
SMBIOS is a Desktop Management Interface (DMI) compliant method for managing
computers in a managed network.
The main component of SMBIOS is the Management Information Format (MIF)
database, which contains information about the computing system and its
components. Using SMBIOS, a system administrator can obtain the system types,
capabilities, operational status, and installation dates for system components. The MIF
database defines the data and provides the method for accessing this information. The
BIOS enables applications such as third-party management software to use SMBIOS.
The BIOS stores and reports the following SMBIOS information:
•
•
•
•
BIOS data, such as the BIOS revision level
Fixed-system data, such as peripherals, serial numbers, and asset tags
Resource data, such as memory size, cache size, and processor speed
Dynamic data, such as event detection and error logging
Non-Plug and Play operating systems require an additional interface for obtaining the
SMBIOS information. The BIOS supports an SMBIOS table interface for such operating
systems. Using this support, an SMBIOS service-level application running on a
non-Plug and Play operating system can obtain the SMBIOS information. Additional
board information can be found in the BIOS under the Additional Information header
under the Main BIOS page.
3.4
Legacy USB Support
Legacy USB support enables USB devices to be used even when the operating system’s
USB drivers are not yet available. Legacy USB support is used to access the BIOS
Setup program, and to install an operating system that supports USB. By default,
Legacy USB support is set to Enabled.
Legacy USB support operates as follows:
1. When you apply power to the computer, legacy support is disabled.
2. POST begins.
3. Legacy USB support is enabled by the BIOS allowing you to use a USB keyboard to
enter and configure the BIOS Setup program and the maintenance menu.
62
Overview of BIOS Features
4. POST completes.
5. The operating system loads. While the operating system is loading, USB keyboards
and mice are recognized and may be used to configure the operating system.
(Keyboards and mice are not recognized during this period if Legacy USB support
was set to Disabled in the BIOS Setup program.)
6. After the operating system loads the USB drivers, all legacy and non-legacy USB
devices are recognized by the operating system, and Legacy USB support from the
BIOS is no longer used.
7. Additional USB legacy feature options can be access by using Intel® Integrator
Toolkit.
To install an operating system that supports USB, verify that Legacy USB support in
the BIOS Setup program is set to Enabled and follow the operating system’s
installation instructions.
3.5
BIOS Updates
The BIOS can be updated using either of the following utilities, which are available on
the Intel World Wide Web site:
•
•
•
Intel® Express BIOS Update utility, which enables automated updating while in the
Windows environment. Using this utility, the BIOS can be updated from a file on a
hard disk, a USB drive (a flash drive or a USB hard drive), or a CD-ROM, or from
the file location on the Web.
Intel® Flash Memory Update Utility, which requires booting from DOS. Using this
utility, the BIOS can be updated from a file on a hard disk, a USB drive (a flash
drive or a USB hard drive), or a CD-ROM.
Intel® F7 switch during POST allows a user to select where the BIOS .bio file is
located and perform the update from that location/device. Similar to performing a
BIOS Recovery without removing the BIOS configuration jumper.
Both utilities verify that the updated BIOS matches the target system to prevent
accidentally installing an incompatible BIOS.
NOTE
Review the instructions distributed with the upgrade utility before attempting a BIOS
update.

Boot Options
In the BIOS Setup program, the user can choose to boot from a hard drive, optical
drive, removable drive, or the network. The default setting is for the optical drive to
be the first boot device, the hard drive second, removable drive third, and the network
fourth.
3.7.1
Network Boot
The network can be selected as a boot device. This selection allows booting from the
onboard LAN or a network add-in card with a remote boot ROM installed.
Pressing the <F12> key during POST automatically forces booting from the LAN. To
use this key during POST, the User Access Level in the BIOS Setup program's Security
menu must be set to Full.
3.7.2
Booting Without Attached Devices
For use in embedded applications, the BIOS has been designed so that after passing
the POST, the operating system loader is invoked even if the following devices are not
present:
•
•
•
Video adapter
Keyboard
Mouse
3.7.3
Changing the Default Boot Device During POST
Pressing the <F10> key during POST causes a boot device menu to be displayed. This
menu displays the list of available boot devices. Table 23 lists the boot device menu

Hard Disk Drive Password Security Feature
The Hard Disk Drive Password Security feature blocks read and write accesses to the
hard disk drive until the correct password is given. Hard Disk Drive Passwords are set
in BIOS SETUP and are prompted for during BIOS POST. For convenient support of S3
resume, the system BIOS will automatically unlock drives on resume from S3.
The User hard disk drive password, when installed, will be required upon each powercycle until the Master Key or User hard disk drive password is submitted.
The Master Key hard disk drive password, when installed, will not lock the drive. The
Master Key hard disk drive password exists as an unlock override in the event that the
User hard disk drive password is forgotten. Only the installation of the User hard disk
drive password will cause a hard disk to be locked upon a system power-cycle.
Table 24 shows the effects of setting the Hard Disk Drive Passwords.

During every POST, if a User hard disk drive password is set, POST execution will
pause with the following prompt to force the user to enter the Master Key or User hard
disk drive password:
Enter Hard Disk Drive Password:
Upon successful entry of the Master Key or User hard disk drive password, the system
will continue with normal POST.
If the hard disk drive password is not correctly entered, the system will go back to the
above prompt. The user will have three attempts to correctly enter the hard disk drive
password. After the third unsuccessful hard disk drive password attempt, the system
will halt with the message:
Hard Disk Drive Password Entry Error
A manual power cycle will be required to resume system operation.
NOTE
As implemented on D53427RKE, Hard Disk Drive Password Security is only supported
on SATA port 0. The passwords are stored on the hard disk drive so if the drive is
relocated to another computer that does not support Hard Disk Drive Password
Security feature, the drive will not be accessible.

BIOS Security Features
The BIOS includes security features that restrict access to the BIOS Setup program
and who can boot the computer. A supervisor password and a user password can be
set for the BIOS Setup program and for booting the computer, with the following
restrictions:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
The supervisor password gives unrestricted access to view and change all the Setup
options in the BIOS Setup program. This is the supervisor mode.
The user password gives restricted access to view and change Setup options in the
BIOS Setup program. This is the user mode.
If only the supervisor password is set, pressing the <Enter> key at the password
prompt of the BIOS Setup program allows the user restricted access to Setup.
If both the supervisor and user passwords are set, users can enter either the
supervisor password or the user password to access Setup. Users have access to
Setup respective to which password is entered.
Setting the user password restricts who can boot the computer. The password
prompt will be displayed before the computer is booted. If only the supervisor
password is set, the computer boots without asking for a password. If both
passwords are set, the user can enter either password to boot the computer.
For enhanced security, use different passwords for the supervisor and user
passwords.
Valid password characters are A-Z, a-z, and 0-9. Passwords may be up to
19 characters in length.
To clear a set password, enter a blank password after entering the existing
password.
Table 25 shows the effects of setting the supervisor password and user password. This
