1.1 Introduction

Thank you for choosing the CPEX series SOCKET 478 PENTIUM 4 Single Board

Computer. The CPEX series board is a PICMG form factor board, which comes fully

equipped with high performance Processor and advanced high performance

multi-mode I/O, designed to provide performance, reliability, and quality at a

reasonable price.

In addition, the CPEX provides an integrated graphics device (IGD) delivering cost

competitive 3D, 2D and video capabilities. The GMCH’s analog port uses an

integrated 400 MHz RAMDAC that can directly drive a standard progressive scan

analog monitor up to a resolution of 2048x1536 pixels with 32-bit color at 85 Hz.

CPEX series supports one or two 64-bit wide DDR400 data channels. Available

bandwidth is up to 3.2GB/s in single-channel mode and 6.4GB/s in dual-channel

mode.

The single-chip PCI Express based 88E8053 device with a Gigabit Ethernet

controller. It supports full 100/1000-base-T Ethernet. It is fully integrated

10BASE-T/100BASE-TX LAN solution with high performance networking functions

and low power features.

The ICH6 integrates SATA Host Controller, supporting four SATA ports with up to

150MB/s maximum transfer rate.

For applications that need high-speed serial transmission, CPEX series provides

eight USB2.0 ports for your convenience. The high speed USB2.0 host controller

implements an ECHI interface that provides bandwidth up to 480Mb/s.

1.7 Jumper Settings

This section provides instructions on how to configure CPEX series by setting the

jumpers. It also includes CPEX series default settings and options for each jumper.

1.7.1 How to set jumpers

A jumper is a metal bridge that closes an electrical circuit. It consists of two metal

pins and a small metal clip (often protected by a plastic cover) that slides over the

pins to connect them. To CLOSE/SHORT a jumper means connecting the pins of the

jumper with the plastic clip and to OPEN a jumper means removing the plastic clip

from the jumper.

Note: The default jumper setting is marked in GREY color.

1.7.2 CMOS clear (CLR_CMOS)

In case CPEX series fails to boot due to user’s improper BIOS setting, CLR_CMOS

jumper can be used to clear the CMOS data and reset the system BIOS information

by shorting pin 2-3 for few seconds and then moving the jumper back to pin 1-2.

If CPEX series shows “CMOS Settings Wrong” message during the boot up, press F1

to go into the CMOS Setup menu. You may then enter the correct CMOS setting or

Load Optimal Defaults or Load Failsafe Defaults. Save your changes and exit the

CMOS Setup menu.

Note:

1. In normal operation, pin 1-2 must stay in CLOSED condition.

2. Power must be turned OFF before clearing CMOS data

2-3 Clear CMOS Setup

CyberResearch® CPU Cards CPEX Series

1.7.3 Compact Flash Master/Slave Function Setting (JP1)

JP1 can be used to set the Compact Flash as Master (OPEN) or Slave (CLOSE).

JP1 DESCRIPTION

OPEN Slave

CLOSE Master

1.8 System Memory

CPEX series has two 184-pin DIMM sockets for a maximum total memory module up

to 2GB 2.5V DDR SDRAM. Dual Channel Technology is applied only when two same

modules are used. This means installing two identical DIMMs results in dual-channel

operation mode, which will double the memory bandwidth to 6.4GB/s.

To install memory module, first make sure the two handles of the DIMM socket are

in the "open" position (the handles lean outward).

Slowly slide the DIMM module along the plastic guides on both ends of the socket,

then press the DIMM module right down into the socket, until you hear a ‘click’

sound. This is when the two handles have automatically locked the memory module

into the correct position of the DIMM socket. To remove the memory module, just

push both handles outward, and the memory module will be ejected by the

mechanism in the socket.

1.9 Cache Memory

Since the second-level (L2) cache has been embedded into the Intel® socket 478

Pentium® 4/Celeron processor, you do not have to take care of either SRAM chips

or SRAM modules. The built-in second-level cache in the processor yields much

higher performance than the external cache memories. The cache size in the Intel

Pentium 4 processor 3.0GHz, for example, is 1024 KB.

1.10 Processor Installation

The CPEX series is designed for Intel Pentium® 4 processor/Celeron (socket 478)

Step 1:

Lift the processor

Chapter2 Connecting Peripherals

(See Appendix B for detail pin assignments)

2.1 PCI E-IDE Disk Drive Connector (IDE)

You can attach up to two IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) drives to the CPEX

series built-in controller. CPEX series Ultra DMA100 IDE supports data transfer up to

100MB/s. Ultra DMA 100 IDE drive must be equipped with Ultra DMA 100 cable, for

optimum performance.

IDE1: IDE Interface Connector

2.2 Floppy Disk Drive Connector (FDD)

You can attach up to two floppy disk drives to the CPEX series onboard controller.

You can use 3.5" (360KB, 720KB, 1.2MB, 1.44MB and 2.88MB) drives. The

motherboard comes with a 34-pin daisy-chain drive connector cable. On one end of

the cable is a 34-pin flat-cable connector. On the other end are two sets of 34-pin

flat-cable connector (usually used for 3.5" drives). The set on the end (after the

twist in the cable) connects to the A: floppy drive. The set in the middle connects to

the B: floppy drive.

Please connect the red power connector wire to the pin1 position.

use the IrDA port, you have to configure SIR or ASKIR model in the
BIOS under Peripheral Setup COM2. Then the normal RS-232 COM 2

will be disabled.
