End of Interactive Support
Intel is announcing the end of interactive support for the Intel® CA810 Motherboard. See the End of Interactive Support Announcement for details.
Latest BIOS and drivers
The BIOS identifier for this motherboard is 8C1A100A.86A. The current BIOS version and current drivers for the Intel® CA810 Motherboard are found on support.intel.com.
Supported processors
Different versions of the Intel® CA810 Motherboard are available. See the processor support table for each version.
System memory
The Intel® CA810 Motherboard supports dynamic memory detection for one or two 3.3V 168-pin unbuffered 100 MHz SDRAM DIMM memory modules. The Intel CA810 Motherboard uses 1 MB of system memory at bootup for the VGA display.
Microsoft Windows* 98 firmware
Microsoft Windows* 98 Second Edition shows an "Unknown device under Control Panel/System/Device Manager/Other Devices". The unknown device is the Random Number Generator (RNG) feature of the Firmware Hub (FWH). In order for this feature to be recognized, you need to install the "Intel Security Driver" that is located on the on the Intel CA810AL Motherboard driver CD disk, or you can download the driver from the Intel website.
Note: The Intel website refers to this driver as the "INTEL 82802 FIRMWARE_HUB Driver Version ISD_Release for Windows* 95(OSR 2.1), Windows* 98, and Windows NT* 4.0".
SERIAL PRESENCE DETECT (SPD) error message
This SPD error message appears when non-SPD memory is detected during POST, or the BIOS cannot determine SPD requirements. The error message will read: "SERIAL PRESENCE DETECT (SPD) device data missing or inconclusive"
Power supply requirements
The Intel CA810 Motherboard is designed to operate with at least a 145-watt power supply for typical system configurations. A higher-wattage supply may be required for heavily loaded configurations. The power supply must provide +5 VSB with 720ma of current (see the ATX2.01 or later specification). If the power supply does not provide sufficient current, some system configurations with the Intel® CA810 Motherboard may not power up. Additionally, if the power supply cannot supply sufficient current and does not have overload protection, the power supply may be damaged.
Compatibility: Instantly available and STR (Suspend to RAM)
The Intel® CA810 Motherboard supports STR but the operating system and the applications being used must also support STR. Operating systems and applications that do not support STR can cause problems when coming out of different sleep states.
ATA-66 support
The Intel® CA810 chipset supports both Ultra ATA transfer rates (i.e. 33 MB/sec and 66 MB/sec). Hard drives supporting Ultra ATA/100 transfer rates implement higher spindle speeds, such as 7200 RPM, and have a larger onboard buffer size to maximize available bandwidth on the IDE channel. .
