The up-to-date list of contacts is provided at http://www.microsoft.com/hwtest/support/ (including additional contacts for server-related submissions).

Appendix A - System Requirements Checklist


This appendix presents the detailed checklist of requirements for systems. The current versions of these requirements are provided on http://www.microsoft.com/winlogo/hardware/system/.

Requirements apply for all of the following tested operating systems unless otherwise indicated:

Windows XP Home Edition (32-bit)
Windows XP Professional (64-bit and 32-bit)
Windows Whistler Server (64-bit and 32-bit)
Windows 2000 Server and Professional (32-bit)
Windows Millennium Edition
Windows 98 Second Edition
Notes:


  • Testing for all Windows versions must also include logs for Windows XP/Windows Whistler Server, even if the “Designed for Windows” Logo you are seeking does not specify Windows XP or Windows Whistler Server.

  • There are no specific requirements for workstations or Entertainment PC systems in the Windows Logo Program. Instead, Windows Logo Program compliance is evaluated based on components present in the system submitted for testing.

  • These requirements apply to all systems and peripherals displaying the "Designed for Windows" Logo, as the system or device/peripheral is shipped to a customer.

Statements within this document relating to "testing requirements" or "systems submitted for Microsoft Windows Logo Program Testing" indicate test submission requirements; such statements do not reduce these Logo Program requirements.

A customer may request that the system supplier omit a particular component from a system configuration as shipped to that customer; however, such a customer request does not remove or reduce any related requirements for that system to support that component's functionality when and if the customer installs a Logo’d component of that class into the system.

It is recognized that OEMs may configure PC systems to meet the requirements of a specific end-user or corporate customer. For systems built based on specific customer requests, where customers request systems without either a CD or DVD optical drive, the system may be configured without an optical storage drive. However, the system must support the addition of a CD or DVD optical drive, and the system firmware must support booting from a CD or DVD device using El Torito Version 1.0 No Emulation Mode if a supporting optical drive is added.

Furthermore, systems may be configured on request without a graphics adapter or network adapter. All retail market desktop systems must include a graphics adapter and support installation of an operating system by including either a CD/DVD drive or network adapter. [see A1.4.3, A1.1.4]


A1.4.4 DELETED
A1.4.5 Windows XP clients: System and component design practices follow accessibility guidelines

[WL-7; SYS-0020; see also FAQ A1.5.18]

  • Ensure that the keyboard and other input devices work correctly with the Microsoft Accessibility features in Windows. For example, StickyKeys should work with all keys in any keyboard design.

  • Make all modifier keys capable of being read and operated by software. This capability allows users to access these keys and the functions that rely on them through operating system features, such as StickyKeys and SerialKeys, and through third-party software, such as voice recognition.
A1.4.6 System with DVD-Video correctly implements playback capabilities

[WL-3; SYS-0035; SDG3:194]

Related requirements are defined in Appendix B, "Device Requirements Checklist"



Note: If a system advertises DVD-Video playback capability or compatibility, then an MPEG decoder is required that meets all DVD requirements. However, if a system includes a DVD-ROM drive and is not capable of DVD-Video playback, then an MPEG-2 decoder is not required.
A1.4.7 Peripherals included with client system offer a non-legacy interface such as PCI, USB, IEEE 1394, or CardBus

[WL-5; SYS-0042]

Keyboards and mice are excluded.

Accessibility peripherals included with a system are excluded, provided that a non-legacy interface peripheral is not available to fulfill the same function.

[SYS-0067]
A1.4.9 x86-based client: ROM BIOS interrupt handlers preserve values in all registers

[BIOS-0012]
A1.4.10 Windows XP Home Edition/Professional: Audio is "digital ready"

[AUD-0323]

To be digital ready, the audio subsystem must not utilize analog mixing of audio sources for output. All audio sources should be available as digital audio streams accessible to the system-wide kernel mixer. This includes the CD/DVD drive, TV tuner, hardware synthesizer, and so on. All audio content should be available at both the analog jack and USB port.

Eliminating analog mixing is key to making PC audio easier to configure and easier to use, removing a major obstacle for USB audio rendering devices.

FAQ date: new revision June 20, 2000
A1.5.3 Riser Cards [Logo Program Clarification]

The BIOS for a system board that supports any type of enumerable riser card, such as AMR, Advanced Communications Riser (ACR), and Communications and Networking Riser (CNR), must include the following support:

  • Detecting and enumerating each function on that type of riser device.

Representing each function on that device so the relevant Windows bus enumerator (such as a PCI bus enumerator) can detect it, and then locate and install appropriate drivers.

This is a Windows Logo Program compliance testing requirement as of July 1, 2000.


FAQ date: December 22, 1999; revised May 9, 2000

The system BIOS must provide a unique PCI SID for any riser card, assigned by the codec manufacturer. This is identical to current Logo Program requirements for audio and modem devices on a PCI add-on card—except these are system-board devices, so the PCI SID must reflect that of the system-board manufacturer.

If an OEM chooses a riser card and driver from any riser card driver manufacturer, the BIOS must populate the fields as follows:


  • The PCI SVID must reflect the Vendor ID assigned by the PCI Special Interest Group (SIG) to that OEM.

  • The SID must be unique for each AC ‘97 device configuration. For example, for a modem-on-motherboard (MoM), modem riser (MR), or audio modem riser (AMR) device, each SID must be unique.

If an OEM chooses a system board from a manufacturer that works with one or more codecs, the following applies:



  • The SVID must reflect the Vendor ID assigned by the PCI SIG to that system-board manufacturer.

  • The SID must be unique for each AC ‘97 codec/device configuration. For example, for a MoM, MR, or AMR device, each SID must be unique.

For an AMR riser, the system BIOS must properly implement the detection algorithm from Intel to verify that the hardware on an AMR/MR riser extension is actually present. The detection algorithm is available at ftp://download.intel.com/ial/scalableplatforms/audio/ac97bios.pdf.

Similar provisions exist in the CNR and ACR specifications.

For information about WHQL testing for riser cards, see http://www.microsoft.com/hwtest/.
See also AC ‘97 and AMR Plug and Play Design (http://www.microsoft.com/hwdev/audio/AMR.htm).
FAQ date: June 2, 1999; revised May 9, 2000

A1.5.4 PCI-to-PCI bridges [Clarification]

[PCI-0123; SDG3:37]

The system BIOS must correctly configure PCI-to-PCI bridges if the system has a VGA device behind a bridge.

Specifically, the BIOS must correctly set the VGA Enable and ISA Enable bits on the bridges, to avoid causing the bridges to be in conflict with each other. See http://www.microsoft.com/hwdev/pci/pcibridge-cardbus.htm.
FAQ date: March 12, 1999

A1.5.5 Multiprocessor Systems Compatibility Testing [Clarification]

As of mid-1999, WHQL accepts multiprocessor submissions for Windows Logo Program and Windows XP/Windows 2000/Windows Whistler Server compatibility testing that contain mixed processor steppings. However, the following requirements for multiprocessor systems must be met:

  • Systems must use the lowest stepping processor as the bootstrap processor.

  • Systems must not contain processors from different processor manufacturers or with mixed speeds or mixed cache sizes.

  • Systems designed to run the Windows 2000/Windows Whistler Datacenter Server operating system must not contain mixed processor steppings.

Note, however, that inherent support for mixed steppings is not currently a design feature supported by Microsoft on either Windows NT-based or Windows 2000-based systems. See http://www.microsoft.com/hwdev/desguid/smp.htm.
FAQ date: August 26, 1999
A1.5.6 Multiprocessor Wakeup [Clarification]

A problem has been uncovered with certain multiprocessor systems that will prevent them from properly waking up from a Sleep state under Windows 2000. This pertains to dual-processor or multiprocessor systems that transition all processors from an active state to a STPCLK state, and more specifically to systems where all processors receive their STPCLK# request from one source. For multiprocessor systems submitted for Windows Logo Program testing for 1999-2000, the vendor must implement a solution for this problem as described in this notice.

The following information has been provided by Intel to help manufacturers correct the problem. For technical questions regarding this issue, please contact Intel. For questions related to support under Microsoft Windows operating systems, please send e-mail to ihv@microsoft.com with Multiprocessor Wakeup in the Subject line.

Prior to transitioning from a STPCLK state to a Sleep state or lower power state, all processors must generate a Stop Grant bus cycle. It is essential that all processors have transitioned to the STPGNT state before it is safe to: 1) transition to a lower power state such as Sleep, or 2) externally shut off the processor clocks to allow for flushing buffers, cache maintenance, and other internal activities.

For dual-processor and multiprocessor systems using a single STPCLK to all processors and a single SLP pin to all processors, the transition to the Sleep state should not be used. Behavior of the system during removal of the processor clock—such as transitions from STPCLK to Sleep state—cannot be guaranteed unless all STPGNT bus cycles are received.

For example, Intel Xeon II Specification, "Section 4.2.5 Sleep State-State 5," specifies that for a multiprocessor system, all processors are required to complete the Stop Grant bus cycle before the subsequent 100 BCLK waiting period and before the assertion of SLP# can occur. When multiple processors are serviced by a single STPCLK# request to all processors and a single SLP#, there is no provision to guarantee that all Stop Grant bus cycles are received before the assertion of SLP#.

As another example, in 450NX-based platforms from Intel, the STPCLK# from PIIX4E is connected to all processors, and SLP# from PIIX4E is connected to all processors. The following sequence occurs:

t0. Operating system writes PMCNTRL register.
t1. PIIX4E asserts STPCLK#, then waits for Stop Grant acknowledgment.
t3. The processor acknowledges with Stop Grant ACK cycle.
t4. PIIX4E asserts SLP# after receiving this.
This sequence works for uniprocessor systems (which is what the PIIX4E was originally designed for). However, in multiprocessor systems, SLP# might be asserted to a processor that is not in Processor Sleep State 3 (that is, not yet acknowledged). This premature SLP# assertion might result in a wakeup problem.

To work around this problem, processors are put to Processor Sleep State 3 (not State 5) during ACPI S1 state. That is, the OEM must remove SLP# assertion to all the processors in 450NX-based platforms.

Intel provides additional information about this issue through the Intel Technical Support Hotline at 1-800-628-8686 (outside North America at 916-377-7000).

Note: Please remove SLP# assertion to all the processors on multiprocessor PIIX4-based platforms. Disabling the Sleep Enable bit in the PIIX4 Processor Control Register does not actually disable the assertion of SLP# as documented in the PIIX4 specification.

A1.5.8 AGP and requirement for expansion slots to be accessible to end users [Clarification]

For designs implementing the Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) Pro specification, the two PCI slots adjacent to the component side of the AGP Pro slot may be blocked and used by an AGP Pro Adapter. When the AGP Pro connector is used by a "standard" AGP board, the PCI connectors must be accessible and available for use with PCI cards.

A1.5.13 PCI SVID/SID for PCI functions on system boards [Clarification]

See "Specification for Use of PCI IDs with Windows Operating Systems" at http://www.microsoft.com/hwdev/pci/pciidspec.htm.

Note: For Windows XP, SIDs and SVIDs are not required for PCI-PCI bridges and some other core chipset classes. For the specific list of exceptions, see Appendix D of PCI 2.2.
A1.5.14 Resume from Sleep State Requirements [Logo Program Change]

Resume from sleep state (S1-S3) to operating system handoff occurs within 1 second (PC99a:3.4.2 previously stated S1-S4).

This requirement does not apply to servers.

For sleep states S1, S2, and S3, the time to operating system handoff is measured from when the processor starts running (first instruction) to the time that the BIOS jumps to the Waking Vector in the Firmware ACPI Control Structure table, as described in Section 5.2.6 in the ACPI 1.0b specification.

A1.5.15 Windows logo testing for S3 system state under Windows XP [Clarification]

[SYS-0002; SDG3:9]

For Windows XP, the Windows Logo Program for hardware includes the following requirements:



  • System ensures optimal user experience for suspend and hibernate, including correct BIOS support for the supported sleep states.

  • A uniprocessor desktop must support S1, S3, S4, and S5, and support wake from all supported sleep states, except from S4 and S5. [see A1.4.2]

Devices must correctly implement the D3 state such that the operating system can enter into and resume from all sleep states supported on the system, including S3. Devices must be fully functional upon resume from the S3 state. Any PCI devices that support wakeup capabilities must correctly support wake from D3cold.

To ensure that a device meets these requirements, it must be tested in an S3-capable system. This is a requirement for the Windows Logo Program with the release of Windows XP. Note that this is not a new requirement; earlier versions of HCTs didn't enforce this area of testing.

The device categories that will be affected by this requirement are: Audio, Modem, Network, Storage, USB/IEEE 1394, Video.

A1.5.16 Debug Solutions for Legacy-Free PCs [Clarification]

Microsoft has defined possible debug solutions for Windows-based PCs in the Debug Port Specification at http://www.microsoft.com/hwdev/NewPC/debugspec.htm.

Windows Me and Windows XP support IEEE 1394-based debug solutions, as described at http://www.microsoft.com/hwdev/1394/.



Important: For any system design that does not include a built-in serial port, the debug solution must be shipped with the system. This is a requirement for the "Designed for Windows" logo for legacy-free and legacy-reduced systems. The solution must consist of one of the following:

  • For serial ports with non-legacy addresses, the internal header must be exposed in such a way as to be available, but not obvious.

  • For LPC solutions, the header for the dongle connection must be exposed.

  • IEEE 1394 debug.

Systems equipped with one or more standard OHCI-compliant, Windows Logo'd IEEE 1394 controllers can utilize a standard IEEE 1394 port for connecting a host machine with one or more targets (up to 62 on a single bus). The host controller can be on the motherboard or attached via PCI, Mini-PCI, or CardBus.

If the IEEE 1394 controller is not on the motherboard, the system does not have to ship with the IEEE 1394 solution included. Rather, it must contain at least two slots for the addition of an IEEE 1394 card by the debug technician, which can be any combination of PCI, Mini-PCI and CardBus slots. This allows debugging of systems configured with another PCI-connected peripheral. Standard IEEE 1394 cables can be used for this purpose.



Note: For legacy-free or legacy-reduced sub-notebooks that are designed to implement IEEE 1394 as the debug solution, a combination of a Mini-PCI slot and CardBus slot is one possible solution. However, debugging over a mobile docking station with a PCI bridge is not a viable solution.

A1.5.17 S3 support and system test submissions (Revision)

A system preinstalled with either Windows 98 or Windows Me can provide a BIOS switch that disables S3. A system preinstalled with Windows XP/Windows 2000 must enable S3 by default in the BIOS. System test submissions for Windows 98, Windows Me, or both and that also support Windows 2000, Windows XP, or both must use the same BIOS for all submissions. In this case, S3 may be disabled in the BIOS for the Windows 98 and Windows Me test passes but S3 must remain enabled in the BIOS for Windows XP/Windows 2000 test passes.
For information about the effective dates for the S3 requirement, see A1.4.2.

A1.5.18 Accessibility requirements and regulations (Clarification)

[SYS-0020]

PC 2001 System Design Guide specified keyboard keys F1-F12 as having to be capable of being read and operated by software. This is incorrect; the guideline should have referred to the Fn key, an OEM-specific key often used on mobile PCs to control mobile-specific functions such as backlight brightness, CRT/LCD display switching, and so on.

Windows does not provide a keyboard scan code for the Fn key. StickyKeys cannot provide support for OEM-specific keys. System designers should provide access to all system functionality, including those functions only available through keyboard sequences involving the Fn key. The system BIOS can provide this StickyKey-like functionality.



Note: On December 21, 2000, the U.S. Access Board issued final standards for electronic and information technology under Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act. OEM and IHVs are encouraged to review these standards as they pertain to their hardware designs. See http://www.access-board.gov/.

A1.5.19 Headset microphone requirement [Clarification]

A system is considered "speech capable" when the offering to customers indicates that speech is a viable input method for that system, which would therefore require a microphone to make that capability available. For example, if the platform includes an application that has the sole purpose of adding speech functionality to the system, then the system will be considered "speech capable.” However, if the system includes an application that merely supports speech input as an alternate input method, then that system is not considered "speech capable."

Note also that the inclusion of an array microphone that meets the microphone performance requirements in B3.1.4.13 also meets the requirement defined in A1.4.13.
