The I/O controller provides the following features: 
•  Consumer Infrared (CIR) headers 
•  One serial port header 
•  Serial IRQ interface compatible with serialized IRQ support for PCI systems 
•  PS/2-style mouse and keyboard interfaces 
•  Intelligent power management, including a programmable wake-up event interface 
•  PCI power management support 
The BIOS Setup program provides configuration options for the I/O controller. 

The Consumer Infrared (CIR) feature is designed to comply with Microsoft Consumer 
Infrared usage models.   Microsoft Windows Vista* is the supported operating system 

The CIR feature is made up of two separate pieces: the receiving header, and the 
emitter header.  The receiving header consists of a filtered translated infrared input 
compliant with Microsoft CIR specifications, and also a “learning” infrared input. This 
learning input is simply a high pass input which the computer can use to “learn” to 
speak the infrared communication language of other user remotes.  The emitter 
header consists of two output ports which the PC can use to emulate “learned” 
infrared commands in order to control external electronic hardware. 

Customers are required to buy or create their own interface modules to plug into Intel 
Desktop Boards for this feature to work.   

 

 

The board has one serial port header located on the component side of the board.  The 
serial port supports data transfers at speeds up to 115.2 kbits/sec with BIOS support.
