How to Use This Manual
The manual describes how to configure your 96M4281o system to meet various
operating requirements. It is divided into five chapters, with each chapter
addressing a basic concept and operation of Single Board Computer.
Chapter 1 : System Overview. Presents what you have in the box and give you an
overview of the product specifications and basic system architecture for this series
model of single board computer.
Chapter 2 : Hardware Configuration. Shows the definitions and locations of
Jumpers and Connectors that you can easily configure your system.
Chapter 3 : System Installation. Describes how to properly mount the CPU, main
memory and Compact Flash to get a safe installation and provides a programming
guide of Watch Dog Timer function.
Chapter 4 : BIOS Setup Information. Specifies the meaning of each setup
parameters, how to get advanced BIOS performance and update new BIOS. In
addition, POST checkpoint list will give users some guidelines of trouble-shooting.
Chapter 5 : Troubleshooting. Provides various useful tips to quickly get 96M4281o
running with success. As basic hardware installation has been addressed in Chapter

System Overview
1.1 Introduction
96M4281o, PICMG 1.0 SBC (Slot Board Computer) is designed with Intel® Core™
Duo / Core™2 Duo / Core™ Solo processors with a 533/667MHz front side bus. It
adopts Intel® 82945GME Graphics Memory Controller Hub and the Intel® ICH7-M
DH I/O Controller Hub. The Mobile Intel® 945GME Express chipset's low power
design enables less average power consumption compared to previous generations.
The Intel 82945GME and ICH7-M DH delivers outstanding system performance
through high-bandwidth interface such as dual–channel DDR2 667/533 DIMM
sockets up to 4GB, and two Serial ATA high-speed data transferring at up to
1.5Gb/s. Dual Gigabit Ethernet ports offer PCI Express x1 based 10/100/1000
Ethernet connection for fast networking access. Additionally, the new Intel®
Graphics Media Accelerator 950 graphics core is also built into the Mobile Intel®
945GME chipset which provides excellent graphics performance over the previous
generation chipset. Other features include two serial ports, 8 USB 2.0, watchdog
timer, and hardware monitoring function.
In addition, 96M4281o, together with Intel® Matrix Storage Technology, it adds
support for RAID 0, 1 level providing quick access to data and protection against
data loss for maximum performance, protection and upgradeability.
96M4281o features:
Support Intel® Core Duo, Core 2 Duo, Core Solo processor with 667/533MHz

System Installation
This chapter provides you with instructions to set up your system. The additional
information is enclosed to help you set up onboard PCI device and handle WDT
operation in software programming.
3.1 Yonah/Merom Processor
Configuring System Bus
BLUEBOARD will automatically detect the CPU used. Support Package μFCPGA479
LV Yonah Dual Core processor CPU.
Installing mPGA 479MT Socket
1) Lift the handling lever of CPU socket outwards and upwards to the other end.
System Installation
96M4281o User’s Manual 3-2
2) Align the processor pins with pinholes on the socket. Make sure that the notched
corner or dot mark (pin 1) of the CPU corresponds to the socket’s bevel end. Then
press the CPU gently until it fits into place. If this operation is not easy or
smooth, don’t do it forcibly. You need to check and rebuild the CPU pin
uniformly.
3) Push down the lever to lock processor chip into the socket once CPU fits.
To un-install the current processor, use a screwdriver to disengage (open) the socket
actuator, as shown in Figure 1 below. The socket actuator should open after only a
half turn or so, and you should then be able to remove the processor with your
fingers.
