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.
2.5 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:
