INTRODUCTION
Introduction
Product Description
The MI912 Mini IT X board incorporates t he Mobile Intel® GME965 Express
Chipset for Embedded Computing, consist ing of the Intel® GME965 Graphic
Memory Controller Hub (G MCH) and Intel® I/O Contr oller Hub (ICH8-M), an
optimized integrat ed graphics solut ion with a 533MHz and 800MHz front-side
bus. Dimensions of the board are 170mm x 170mm.
The integrated powerful 3D graphics engine, based on Intel® Graphics Media
Accelerator X3000 (Intel® GMA X3000) architecture, operates at core speeds of
up to 400 MHz. It features a low-power design, is validated with the Intel® Core 2
Duo and Intel® Celeron processors on 65nm process. With dual channel DDR2
667MHz two DIMM sockets, the board su pports up to 4GB of DDR2 system
memory.
Intel® Graphics supports a unique intelligent memory management scheme called
Dynamic Video Memory Technology (DVMT). DVMT handles diverse
applications by providing the maximum (384MB) availability of system memory
for general computer usage, while supplying additional graphics memory when a
3D-intensive application requests it. The Intel® GMA X3000 graphics
architecture also takes advantage of the high-performance Intel processor. Intel®
GMA X3000 graphics supports Dual Independent Display technology.
The main features of the board are:
Supports Inte l® CoreTM 2 Duo (Merom 800MHz), Intel® Celeron
Supports up to 2.4GHz, 533MHz/800MHz FSB
Two DDR2 SDRAM DIMM, Max. 4GB memory
Onboard 10/100/100 and optio nal Intel 82574L Gigabit LAN
Intel® GME965 Express VGA for CRT / LVDS
2x SATA, 6x USB 2.0, 2x C OM, Watchdo g tim er, 1394
1x Mini PCI, 1x P CI, 1xPCI-E(x1) slots, optional DVI
Optional daughter cards:
ID390: Chrontel 7308, supports 24 bit single or dual LVDS channel
ID390C: Chro ntel 7021, supports CRT
ID391: Chrontel 7307C, single DVI (connector on cable)

INSTALLATIONS
NOTE:
Ensure that the CPU heat sink and the CPU top surface are in
total contact to avoid CPU overheating problem that would
cause your system to hang or be unstable.
Installing the CPU
The MBI910 board supports a Socket 478MN (Merom) processor socket
for Intel® CoreTM 2 Duo, Intel® Ce leron mobile processors.
The processor so cket comes with a screw to secure t he processor. As
shown in the picture below, loosen the screw first before insert ing the
processor. Place the processor into the socket by making sure the notch
on the corner of the CPU corresponds with the notch on the inside of the
socket . Once the processor has slide into the sock et, fasten the screw.

Installing and Removing Memory Modules
To install the DDR2 modules, locate the memory slot on the boar d and
pe rform the fo llow ing s te ps:
1. Hold the DDR2 module so that the key of the DDR2 module aligned
with that on the memory slot .
2. Gently push the DDR2 module in an uprigh t position until t he c lips of
the slot close to hold the DDR2 module in place when the DDR2
module touches the bottom of the slot.
3. To remove the DDR2 module, press the clips w ith both hands.

BIOS Introduction
The Award BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) installed in your
computer system’s ROM suppor ts I ntel pro cessor s. T he BIOS pro vides
critical low-level support for a st andard device such as disk drives, serial
ports and parallel ports. It also adds vi rus and password protection as well
as special support for detailed fine-tuning o f the chip set co ntr olling the
entire system.
BIOS Setup
The Award BIOS provides a Setup utility program for specifying the
system configurations and settings. The BIOS RO M of the system store s
the Setup utility. When you turn on the computer, the Award BIOS is
im mediately activ ated. Pressing the <Del> key immediately allows y ou to
enter the Setu p ut ility. If you are a little bit late p ressing the <Del> key,
POST (Power On Self Test) will continue wit h its test routines, thus
preventing you from invoking the Setup. If you still wish to enter Setup,
restart the system by pressing the ”Reset” button or simultaneously
pressing the <Ctrl>, <Alt> and <Delete> keys. You can also restart by
turning the system Off and back On again. The following message will
appear on the screen:
Press <DEL> to Enter Setup
In general, you press the arrow keys to highli gh t items, <Enter> to select,
the <PgUp> and <PgDn> keys to change entries, <F1> for help and
<Esc> to quit.
When you enter the Set u p utility, the Main Menu screen will appear on
the screen. The Main Menu allows you to select from various setup
functions and exit choices.

CPU L1 and L2 Cache
Cache memory is additional memory that is faster than conventional DRAM
(system memory). CPUs from 486-type on up contain internal cache memory , and
most, but not all, modern PCs have additional (external) cache memory. When the
CPU re qu e sts d ata , th e system tr an sfers the re qu e ste d data fro m the ma i n DR A M
into cache memory, for even faster access by the CPU. These allow you to enable
(speed up memory access) or disable the cache function.

Quick Power On Self Test
When enabled, this field speeds up the Power On Self Test ( P OS T ) after
the s yste m is tur n e d on . If it is s e t to Enabled, BIOS will skip some items.
First/Second/Third Boot Device
These fields determine the drive that the system searches first for an
operating system. The options available include Floppy, LS120, Hard

and Disable.
Boot Other Device
These fields allow the system to search for an OS from other devices
other t han the ones selected in the First/Second/Third Boot Device.
Swap Floppy Drive
This i tem allows you to determine wh ether or not to enable Swap Floppy
Drive. When enabled, the BIOS swaps floppy drive assignments so that
Drive A b ecomes Dri ve B, an d Driv e B becom es Driv e A . By def aul t, this

Boot Up Floppy Seek
This feature contro ls whether the BIOS checks for a floppy dr ive while
booting up. If it cannot detect one (either due t o improper configuration
or its absence), it will flash an error message.
Boot Up NumLock Status
This al lows you to activate the NumLock function after you power up the
system.
Gate A20 Option
This field allows you to select how Gat e A20 is worked. Gate A20 is a
device used to address memory above 1 MB.

Typematic Rate (Chars/Sec)
When the typematic rate is enabled, the system registers repeated
keystrokes speeds. Set tings are from 6 to 30 characters per second.

Security Option
This field allows you to limit access to the System and Setup. The default

Password every time you boot up. When you select Setup, t he system
always boots up and prompts for the Supervisor Password only when the
Se tup utility is called up.
APIC Mode
APIC stands for Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller. The
de f ault set ting is Enabled.
MPS Version Control for OS
This o ption is spec ifies the MP S ( Multiproce ssor Specification) v ersio n
for your o p e r a ting system. MPS version 1.4 added ext ended
config uration tables to improve suppor t for multiple PCI bus
configurations and improve future expandability. The default sett ing is
1.4.
OS Select for DRAM > 64MB
This option allows the system to access greater t han 64MB of DRAM
memory when used with OS/2 that depends on certain BIOS calls to
access memory. The default setting is Non-OS/2.
Report No FDD For WIN 95
If you are using Windows 95/98 without a floppy disk drive, select
Enabled to release IRQ6. This is required to pass Windows 95/98's SCT
tes t. Y ou should also disable t he Onboard FDC C ont roller in t he

This field sets the IRQ used by the Modem. By default, the sett ing is 3.
Suspend Mode
When enabled, and after the set time of system inactivity, all devices
except the CPU will be shut off.

Soft-Off by PWRBTN
This f ield defines the power-off mode when using an ATX power supply .
The Instant Off mode allows powering off immediately upon pressin g the

The HDD, FDD, COM, LPT Ports, and PCI PIRQ are I/O events that can
prevent the system from en tering a power savi ng m ode or can awaken the
system f rom such a m ode. When an I/O device wan ts to gain the attention
of the operating system, it si gnals thi s by causing an IRQ to occur. When
the operating system i s ready to respond to the request, it interrupts itself
and performs the service.

C. Watchdog Timer Configuration
The WDT is used to generate a variety of output signals after a user
programmable count. The WDT is suitable for use in the prevention of
syste m loc k-up, such as when software becomes trapped in a deadlock.
Under these sorts of circumstances, the timer will count to zero and the
selected outputs will be driven. Under normal circumstance, the user will
restart the WDT at regular intervals before the timer counts to zer o.
