96M4321o User’s Manual 1-1
Chapter 1
System Overview
1.1 Introduction
PICMG organization published PICMG 1.3 specification in late year 2005 which
adopts PCI Express as external I/O expansion interface. The advanced PCI Express
Technology’s throughput balanced the modern extreme computing power that
makes the system much more powerful.
96M4321o, the PICMG 1.3 SHB (Single Host Board) supports Intel® Core 2
Duo processor that based on Intel® innovated Core Microarchitecture. The
attractive processor does not only posses amazing parallel computing power but
also generates 65W TDP (Thermal Design Power). That makes the system more
powerful and reliable with dual-core processor with smaller and quieter cooling fan.
The SHB was empowered by Intel® Q965 & ICH8DO chipset. The Q965 embedded
Graphics Media Adapter 3000 is the 4th generation Intel integrated graphics
controller that supports DirectX 9.0, Shader model 2.0, 256MB of video memory.
More than that, user could utilize even higher-end, the latest PCI Express x16
interface graphics card via backplane.
To meet bandwidth of storage and expansion cards requirement, the
96M4321o was designed flexible with four PCI Express lanes via backplane.
Those four PCI Express lanes could be four PCI Express x1 links or one PCI Express
x4 link. Four PCI Express x1 links configuration can support more PCI Express x1
devices via backplane and one PCI Express x4 link configuration can support RAID
card or special add-on cards such as image processing board. In addition, the
flexible configuration can be leveraged with bridge on backplane to support more
PCI or PCI-X slots that benefits industries with legacy support.
Advanced Management Technology (AMT) is feature that 96M4321o
equipped. This technology provides remote access capability via Intel® Gigabit
Ethernet controller. With software from 3rd party, the new technology allows MIS
or user to monitor system status and help the client to recover failure system.
Beside that, the hardware and software information can be gathering by 3rd party
software then storage in SPI interface EEPROM. Therefore, asset management
could be done at the same time.
System Overview
96M4321o User’s Manual 1-2
96M4321o features:
Support Intel® Core 2 Duo, Pentium® D, Pentium® 4, Celeron® D processor in
an LGA775 socket that equipped with dual core, Hyper-Threading, EM64T,
EIST, XD & VT technologies
Dual 240-pin DDR2 SDRAM DIMM socket, support for DDR2 800/667/533

The PICMG 1.3 SHB is the best solution of applications such like flight simulation,
image processing, broadcasting and so on that need performance of display and
storage.

1.3.1 Mechanical Drawing
1.4 System Architecture
96M4321o adopts Intel® Q965 Express chipset that supports Intel® Core 2
Duo processor that based on Intel innovative Core Mircoarchitecture Technology.
Q965 GMCH (Graphics Memory Controller Hub) embedded Graphics Media
Accelerator 3000 (GMA 3000) and features PCI Express x16 graphics interface via
backplane that supports the latest high-performance graphics cards. Along with
the highest 1,066MHz FSB of processor, the parallel system memory up to DDR2 800
as well.
The companion I/O controller, ICH8DO has six PCI Express x1 links that
throughput is 2.5Gbps per direction. And they were designed as interface of dual
Gigabit Ethernet ports on-board and four PCI Express x1 expansion via backplane.
One special characteristic of the ICH8DO is the capability to aggregate these four
PCI Express x1 link as on PCI Express x4 link. And that is what user can benefit for
PCI Express x4, high throughput storage expansion card via backplane.
ICH8DO provides six SATA 300 ports, together with Intel® Matrix Storage
Technology (MST), the 96M4321o offers cost effective RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10
that seamlessly protects against data loss from hard drive failure. Dual SATA ports
and dual USB ports are routed to gold finger for better wiring consideration of these
two kinds of interface via backplane.

System Installation
This chapter provides you with instructions to set up your system. The additional
information is enclosed to help you handle WDT and GPIO operation in software
programming.
3.1 Intel® LGA775 Processor
Installing LGA775 CPU
1) Lift the handling lever of CPU socket outwards and upwards to the other end.
Following step A position to step B position.
Figure 3-1
2) Aligning the processor’s pins with pinholes on the socket, and then 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 correct place. If this
operation is not easy or smooth, don’t do it forcibly. You need to check and
rebuild the CPU pin uniformly.

Precaution! (See fig.3-3 and fig.3-4) Don’t touch directly by your hand or impacts
internal align balls of CPU socket to avoid motherboard destruction, it is a precise
actuator.
3) Push down the lever to lock processor chip into the socket once CPU fits.
4) Follow the installation guide of cooling fan or heat sink to mount it on CPU
surface and lock it on the LGA775.
Removing CPU
1) Unlock the cooling fan first.
2) Lift the lever of CPU socket outwards and upwards to the other end.
3) Carefully lifts up the existing CPU to remove it from the socket.
4) Follow the steps of installing a CPU to change to another one or place handling
bar to close the opened socket.
Configuring System Bus
96M4321o will automatically detect the CPU used. All of CPU speed of
Intel® Pentium® D, Pentium® 4 and Celeron D can be detected automatically.
3.2 Main Memory
96M4321o provides two DDR2-SDRAM DIMM sockets to support dualchannel & single channel DDR2 memory interface. The maximum memory size can
be up to 4 GB, memory frequency includes 800/667/533. Auto detects memory
clock, which is according to BIOS CMOS settings.
For system compatibility and stability, do not use memory module without brand.
Memory configuration can be either one double-sided DIMM in either one DIMM
socket or two single-sided DIMM in both sockets.
Watch out the contact and lock integrity of memory module with socket, it will
impact on the system reliability. Follow normal procedures to install memory
module into memory socket. Before locking, make sure that all modules have been
fully inserted into the card slots.
Dual Channel DDR2 DIMMs
Dual Channel DDR2 memory technology doubles the bandwidth of memory bus.
Adequate or higher bandwidth of memory than processor would increase system
performance. To enable Dual Channel DDR2 memory technology, install two
identical memory modules in both memory sockets is required. Following tables
show bandwidth information of different processor and memory configurations.
