There are two main supported power supply configurations, Desktop and Mobile. The

Desktop solution consists of only using the ATX power supply. The Mobile solution

consists of only using the AC Brick.

Note:

Desktop peripherals, including add-in cards, will not work in mobile power mode. If

desktop peripherals are used, the platform must be powered using desktop power

mode. The AC Brick power supply configuration does not provide the 12 V supply

required by most desktop peripherals.

Note:

Select a power supply that complies with the "ATX12V" 1.1 specification. For more

information, refer to

http://www.formfactors.org

.

Note:

If the power button on the ATX power supply is used to shut down the system, wait at

least five seconds before turning the system on again to avoid damaging the system.

Other Devices and Adapters: The evaluation board functions much like a standard

desktop computer motherboard. Most PC-compatible peripherals can be attached and

configured to work with the evaluation board.

Setting Up the Evaluation Board

Once the necessary hardware (described in

Section 2.4

) has been gathered, follow the

steps below to set up the Intel

®

945GME Express Chipset evaluation board.

Note:

To locate items discussed in the procedure below, please refer to

Section 4.0

.

1. Create a safe work environment.

Ensure a static-free work environment before removing any components from their

anti-static packaging. The evaluation board is susceptible to electrostatic discharge

(ESD) damage, and such damage may cause product failure or unpredictable

operation. A flame retardant work surface must also be used.

Caution:

Because of this susceptibility, it is recommended that an ESD wrist strap be

used when handling the board.

2. Inspect the contents of your kit.

Check for damage that may have occurred during shipment. Contact your sales

representative if any items are missing or damaged.

Caution:

Since the board is not in a protective chassis, use caution when connecting

cables to this product.

Caution:

Standby voltage is constantly applied to the board. Therefore, do not insert or

remove any hardware unless the system is unplugged.

Note:

The evaluation board is a standard ATX form factor. An ATX chassis may be used if a

protected environment is desired. If a chassis is not used, standoffs must be used to

elevate the board off the working surface to protect the memory and to protect from

any accidental contact to metal objects.

3. Check the jumper default position setting. Refer to

Figure 4

for jumper location.

Jumper J6H1 is used to clear the CMOS memory. Make sure this jumper is set for

normal operation.

4. Be sure to populate the following hardware on your evaluation board:

— One Intel

— One processor thermal solution
— One DDR2 SODIMM (200-pin)
