INTRODUCTION
Product Description
The MB945 LGA 775 motherboard incorporates the Intel Q45 chipset
that utilizes a single LGA775 processor and supports
800/1066/1333MT/s (200/266/333 MHz) FSB.
The Q45 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, DDR3 interface, Hub Interface
and PCI Express graphics interface.
Four DDR3 memory sockets support DDR3 800/1066 SDRAM DIMM
modules of up to 8GB in capacity.
The board is designed with an Intel 82567LM Gigabit Ethernet PHY and
an optional Intel 82574LM PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet. Six 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 twelve
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.

INSTALLATIONS
Installing the CPU
The MB945 motherboard supports an LGA 775 processor socket for
Intel Core 2 Duo and Intel Core2 Quad processors.
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.

MB945 User’s Manual
INSTALLATIONS
ATX Power Installation
The system power is provided to the motherboard with the ATX1 and
ATX_12V_2X1 power connectors. ATX1 is a 24-pin power connector
and ATX_12V_2X1 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.
MB945 User’s Manual 7
INSTALLATIONS
Installing the Memory
The MB945 motherboard supports four DDR3 memory sockets for a
maximum total memory of 8GB in DDR memory type. It supports
DDR3 800/1066.
Basically, the system memory interface has the following features:
Supports two 64-bit wide DDR data channels
Available bandwidth up to 6.4GB/s (DDR3 800) for single-channel
mode and 12.8GB/s (DDR3 800) in dual-channel mode.
Supports 512Mb, 1Gb DDR3 technologies.
Supports only x8, x16, DDR3 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:
