Chapter 1 Introduction
SAGP-845EV is a PSB form factor board to work with a high performance
processor. It is equipped with advanced multi-mode I/O, and designed for
system manufacturers, integrators, or VARs who want to provide reliable and
quality performance at a reasonable price.
In addition, SAGP-845EV’s onboard Intel 845G MGCH chip features built-in AGP4X
capability which provides 3D graphics of up to 2048x1536x16-bit-color resolution.
The onboard VGA shares 8MB system DDR-SDRAM.
An advanced high performance super AT I/O chip – ITE IT8712 is used in the
SAGP-845EV board. Both on-chip UARTs are compatible with the NS16C550. The
parallel port and IDE interface are compatible with IBM PC/AT architecture.
SAGP-845EV’s built-in ICH4 has 10/100 Fast Ethernet LAN capability. It’s fully
integrated 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX LAN solution with high performance networking
functions and low power features.
SAGP-845EV uses the advanced Intel 845G Chipsets that is a 100% softwarecompatible chipset with PCI 2.2 standard.
This PIAGP CPU card must be installed on IEI PCIAGP/PXAGP series backplanes.
If onboard ISA interface is required, please be sure to install PISA-KIT01
daughter board on the specific socket on the backplane before ISA cards are
installed to make sure the system works properly.

Chapter 2 Installation
This chapter describes how to install the SAGP-845EV. At first, the layout of
SAGP-845EV is shown, and the unpacking information that you should be careful
with is described. The jumpers and switch settings for the SAGP-845EV 's
configuration, such as CPU type selection, system clock setting, and watchdog
timer, are also included.

2.2 Clear CMOS Setup
If the user wants to clear the CMOS Setup data (for example, the user forgot the
password and needed to clear the setup data then set the password again), the
user should close the JP2 (set the jumper to 2-3) about 3 seconds, then open it
again. For normal operation, set the jumper to 1-2 or open JP2.

SAGP-845EV can use two different types of CPU. One is Pentium4 CPU model and
the other is Pentium4-M CPU.
While using Pentium4 CPU, please turn OFF 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 of S1 switch. CPU
VID will now automatically configure the power of CPU (Default).
When using Pentium4-M CPU, turn ON 1,4,6 of S2 switch, and turn OFF 2, 3, 5.
The power of CPU will be set to 1.3V at this time.
