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.

ETX CPU Module ETX-945GSE
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.
