About IDE
The IDE connector on board does not support OS installation in hard
drive. A system hard drive connected to this IDE cannot be booted up to
OS.
About SATA
When using a legacy operating system, only one SATA controller is
available that supports SATA port 0 – 3 (CN8, CN9, CN10, C N11) . It is
suggested that the legacy operating system is installed using any of these
ports.

INTRODUCTION
Product Description
The MB930 LGA 775 motherboard incorporates the Intel Q35 chipset
that can utilize a single LGA775 processor of up to 4.0GHz or higher
and supports FSB frequency of 800/1066MHz/1333MHz
(200MHz(800MT/s) and 266MHz(1066MT/s), 333MHz(1333MT/s)
HCLK respectively.
The Q35 chipset is designed for use with the Core.2 processor family,
including a faster 1333 MHz system bus. The integrated GMCH
component provides the CPU interface, DDR2 interface, Hub Interface
and PCI Express graphics interface.
Four DDR2 memory sockets support DDR2 667/800 SDRAM DIMM
modules of up to 8GB in capacity.
The board is designed with one Intel 82566DM PCI Express Gigabit
PHY (MB930RF-R/MB930F-R) or 82562V 10/100 PHY (MB930-R
only) LAN controllers. Serial-II ATA connectors offer 3Gb/s data
throughput speed - faster than the most advanced parallel ATA.
Expansion includes four PCI slots, one PCI Express x1 and one PCI
Express x16 and one ISA slot. Other advanced features include ten USB
2.0 ports, IrDA interface, digital I/O, four serial ports, watchdog timer
and audio function. Dimensions of the board are 12” by 9.5” in an ATX
form factor.
Remarks:
MB930-R/MB930F-R/MB930RF-R supports Intel
Supports the Intel
Core 2 Duo and Intel Core 2 Quad processors, and Intel Celeron
400(Conroe-L) Sequence processor.
MB930RF-R supports six Serial ATA connectors (with RAID function).
MB930-R / MB930F-R / MB930GF-R supports four Serial ATA
connectors only. MB930GF-R has the same specifications as
MB930F-R, except that its PCB thickness is 2.4mm).
The IDE connector on board does not support OS installation in hard
drive. A system hard drive connected to this IDE cannot be booted up to
OS.

INSTALLATIONS
Installing the CPU
The MB930-R/MB930F-R/MB930RF-R motherboard support an LGA
775 processor socket for Intel Core 2 Duo and Intel Core2 Quad
processors, and Intel Celeron 400(Conroe-L) Sequence processor.
The LGA 775 processor socket comes with a lever to secure the
processor. Refer to the pictures below, from left to right, on how to place
the processor into the CPU socket. Please note that the cover of the
LGA775 socket must always be installed during transport to avoid
damage to the socket.

INSTALLATIONS
ATX Power Installation
The system power is provided to the motherboard with the ATX1 and
ATX_12V power connectors. ATX1 is a 24-pin power connector and
ATX_12V is a 8-pin 12V power connector.
The 24-pin power connector can to be connected to a standard 20-pin
ATX power connector in a standard ATX power supply (Min. 400watt).
Note: The power supply 5VSB voltage must be at least 2A.

DDR2 memo ry soc kets fo r a maximu m total memory o f 8GB i n DDR
memory type. It supports DDR2 667/800.
Basically, the system memory interface has the following features:
Supports two 64-bit wide DDR data channels
Available bandwidth up to 6.4GB/s (DDR2 800) for single-channel
mode and 12.8GB/s (DDR2 800) in dual-channel mode.

Supports only x8, x16, DDR2 devices with four banks
Supports only unbuffered DIMMs
Supports opportunistic refresh
Up to 32 simultaneously open pages (four per row, four rows
maximum)
Dual Channel Memory Configuration
If you want to operate the Dual Channel Technology, please note the
following explanations due to the limitation of Intel chipset
specifications.
1. Dual Channel mode will not be enabled if only one DDR II memory
module is installed.
2. To enable Dual Channel mode with two or four mem ory modules (it is
recommended to use memory modules of identical brand, size, chips,
and speed), you must install them into DIMM sockets of the same color.
The following is a Dual Channel Memory configuration table:
