Up to four 2.0 GB 667 MHz or 800 MHz un-buffered DDR2 SDRAM DIMM are supported
by the Mobile Intel® Q35 graphics memory controller hub (GMCH). The Intel® Q35 GMCH
also has a single PCI Express x16 (PCIe x16) expansion lane for a PCIe x16 graphics
card on the backplane.

The integrated Intel® ICH9DO I/O controller hub (ICH) supports six SATA II drives with
data transfer speeds of 3.0 Gbps with SATA RAID configuration support. Twelve USB 2.0
channels, four expansion PCIe x1 channels and four expansion PCI channels provide
flexible expansion options. Support for a (optional) trusted platform module (TPM)
provides additional system security during system boot-up. High Definition Audio (HDA)
support ensures an HDA audio kit can be easily implemented on the CEGC.

3.1 Anti-static Precautions

WARNING:

Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the CEGC
may result in permanent damage to the CEGC and severe injury to the
user.

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the CEGC. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is therefore critical
that whenever the CEGC, or any other electrical component is handled, the following
anti-static precautions are strictly adhered to.

 Wear an anti-static wristband: - Wearing a simple anti-static wristband can

help to prevent ESD from damaging the board.

 Self-grounding:- Before handling the board touch any grounded conducting

material. During the time the board is handled, frequently touch any
conducting materials that are connected to the ground.

 Use an anti-static pad: When configuring the CEGC, place it on an

antic-static pad. This re duces the possibility of ESD damaging the CEGC.

 Only handle the edges of the PCB:-: When handling the PCB, hold the PCB

by the edges.

3.2 Unpacking

3.2.1 Unpacking Precautions

When the CEGC is unpacked, please do the following:

 Follow the anti-static precautions outlined in Section 3.1.
 Make sure the packing box is facing upwards so the CEGC does not fall out of

the box.

 Make sure all the components shown in Section 3.3 are present.
