Application Notes
1. After installing drivers in AT power mode under Windows® XP
operation, there is no message: “It is now safe to turn off your
computer” during the procedure of turn-off.
2. Hyper threading technology only supports ATX mode rather than
AT mode.
3. If you are going to use the add-on PCI Video Card instead of the
onboard Intel
onboard Intel
PCI Video Card.
4. While installing OS into SATA HDD, please do not attach any
IDE HDD during installation. If you need one IDE HDD as
storage device, please attach IDE HDD after finishing the
installation.
5. If using LCD by 800x480 pixel,
A. Please set LCD as primary
B. Operation procedure to run dual display or extended display
under Window
a. Please use control panel -> display device-> adjust
b. Use right button of mouse to select
6. Under DOS mode, if setting simultaneous displays
A. 24-bit LVDS LCD (from Chrontel 7308) + VGA: the screen
shrinks at any resolution.
B. 18-bit LVDS LCD + VGA: the screen shrinks at resolution
640x480.
7. DIO address is “200H.”
8. Module can run without RTC battery.
9. Two options to select AT/ATX power mode
Auto switch circuit
SMT jumper
10. SDVOCTL_CLK & SDVOCTL_DATA are connected to 945GSE;
SMBUS is connected to ICH7M; I2C bus is connected to
Winbond SIO.

1.1 Introduction
ETX-945GSE is able to equip with Intel® AtomTM N270 processor
and has one 200-pin DDR II 400/533 SODIMM to support system
memory up to 1GB. ETX-945GSE adopts Intel
®
945GSE+ ICH7M
chipset that implements serial technologies with high performance.
In addition, ETX-945GSE accommodates user-friendly expansion
interfaces, ex: four 32-bit PCI, one ISA bus, one SMBus and one
I2C interface.
For the display specifications, ETX-945GSE integrates Intel
®
945GSE and shared system memory is up to 224MB/DVMT 3.0.
The display of ETX-945GSE supports CRT and 18/24-bit
dual-channel LVDS LCD. Moreover, it supports NTSC/ PAL and
Composite Video, S-Video on the carrier board. In addition, one
SDVO port can be used through the SDVO connector to provide
more flexibility for display function.
If you are looking for an economic, time-saving and high
performance solution, ETX-945GSE definitely is your first choice.

2.1 Safety Precautions
Always completely disconnect the power cord
from your board whenever you are working on
it. Do not make connections while the power is
on, because a sudden rush of power can
damage sensitive electronic components.
Always ground yourself to remove any static
charge before touching the board. Modern
electronic devices are very sensitive to static
electric charges. Use a grounding wrist strap at
all times. Place all electronic components on a
static-dissipative surface or in a static-shielded
bag when they are not in the chassis

3.1 System Test and Initialization
These routines test and initialize board hardware. If the routines
encounter an error during the tests, you will either hear a few short
beeps or see an error message on the screen. There are two kinds
of errors: fatal and non-fatal. The system can usually continue the
boot up sequence with non-fatal errors. Non-fatal error messages
usually appear on the screen along with the following instructions:
Press <F1> to RESUME
Write down the message and press the F1 key to continue
the boot up sequence.
System configuration verification
These routines check the current system configuration against the
values stored in the CMOS memory. If they do not match, the
program outputs an error message. You will then need to run the
BIOS setup program to set the configuration information in memory.
There are three situations in which you will need to change the
CMOS settings:
1. You are starting your system for the first time
2. You have changed the hardware attached to your system
3. The CMOS memory has lost power and the configuration
information has been erased.
The ETX-945GSE memory has an integral lithium battery backup
for data retention. However, you will need to replace the complete
unit when it finally runs down.

3.2 Award BIOS Setup
Awards BIOS ROM has a built-in Setup program that allows users
to modify the basic system configuration. This type of information is
stored in battery-backed CMOS RAM so that it retains the Setup
information when the power is turned off.
Entering setup
Power on the computer and press <Del> immediately. This will
allow you to enter Setup.
Standard CMOS Features
Use this menu for basic system configuration. (Date, t ime, IDE,
etc.)
Advanced BIOS Features
Use this menu to set the advanced features available on your
system.
Advanced Chipset Features
Use this menu to change the values in the chipset registers and
optimize your system performance.
Integrated Peripherals
Use this menu to specify your settings for integrated peripherals.
(Primary slave, secondary slave, keyboard, mouse etc.)
Power Management Setup
Use this menu to specify your settings for power management.
(HDD power down, power on by ring etc.)

A.1 Programming
ETX-945GSE utilizes W83627HG chipset as its watchdog timer
controller.
Below are the procedures to complete its configuration and the
AAEON intial watchdog timer program is also attached based on
which you can develop customized program to fit your application.
Configuring Sequence Description
Unlock W83627HG
Select register of
watchdog timer
Enable the function of
the watchdog timer
Use the function of the
watchdog timer
Lock W83627HG
There are three steps to complete the configuration setup:
(1) Enter the W83627HG config Mode
(2) Modify the data of configuration registers
Appendix A Programming the Watchdog Timer A-2
Page 36
ETX CPU Module ETX-945GSE
(3) Exit the W83627HG config Mode. Undesired result may
occur if the config Mode is not exited normally.
(1) Enter the W83627HG config Mode
To enter the W83627HG config Mode, two special I/O write
operations are to be performed during Wait for Key state.
To ensure the initial state of the key-check logic, it is
necessary to perform two write operations to the Special
Address port (2EH). The different enter keys are provided to
select configuration ports (2Eh/2Fh) of the next step.
Address Port Data Port
87h,87h: 2Eh 2Fh
(2) Modify the Data of the Registers
All configuration registers can be accessed after entering the
config Mode. Before accessing a selected register, the
content of Index 07h must be changed to the LDN to which
the register belongs, except some Global registers.
(3) Exit the W83627HG config Mode
The exit key is provided to select configuration ports
(2Eh/2Fh) of the next step.
Address Port Data Port
0aah: 2Eh 2Fh
