1.1 MXGF Motherboard Overview

Figure 1–1: MXGF

The MXGF is an ATX form factor industrial PC motherboard. The ATX form factor is a relatively large form factor, providing room for extra features and capabilities including more powerful processors that benefit from the larger dimensions and better cooling of ATX computer cases.

The MXGF supports Intel® Core™2 Quad, Intel® Core™2 Duo, Intel® Pentium®4/D and Intel® Celeron® D processors and supports up to up to 8.0 GB of DDR2 memory with up to 2.0 GB in each memory slot.

Six SATA ports provide advanced storage capabilities with 3.0 MB/s data transfer rates. RAID 0 support allows for increased data throughput for applications requiring quick data access. RAID 1, 5 and 10 provide data redundancy allowing for the failure of one or more disks without losing data.

Graphics capabilities include a VGA port on the rear panel and a PCIe x16 graphics card slot. The graphics card slot supports the latest graphics cards, offering rendering and quality capable of supporting the most intensive graphics applications.

Networking is provided through two GbE controllers. The GbE controllers allow network data speeds of up to 1.0Gb/s, allowing for fast communication between computers on the

2.1 Anti-static Precautions

WARNING!

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

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

 Wear an anti-static wristband - Wea ring a simple anti-static wristband can

help to prevent ESD from damaging the board.

 Self-grounding - Before handling the board touch any grounded condu cting

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 MXGF, place it on an

antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the MXGF.

 Only handle the edges of the PCB - When handling the PCB, hold the PCB

by the edges.

2.2 Unpacking

When the MXGF is unpacked, please do the following:

 Follow the anti-static precautions outlined in Section 2.1.  Make sure the packing box is facing upwards so the MXGF does not fall out of

the box.

 Make sure all the components shown in Section 2.3 are present.
