The front-side bus uses a bus technology called AGTL+, or Assisted
Gunning Transceiver Logic. AGTL+ buffers are open-drain, and require
pull-up resistors to provide the high logic level and termination. AGTL+
output buffers differ from GTL+ buffers with the addition of an active
pMOS pull-up transistor to assist the pull-up resistors during the first clock
of a low-to-high voltage transition.
The processor does not utilize CMOS voltage levels on any signals that
connect to the processor. As a result, legacy input signals such as A20M#,
IGNNE#, INIT#, LINT0/INTR, LINT1/NMI, PWRGOOD, SMI#, SLP#, and
STPCLK# utilize GTL+ input buffers. Legacy output signals (FERR# and
IERR#) and non-AGTL+ signals (THERMTRIP# and PROCHOT#) also
utilize GTL+ output buffers. All of these signals follow the same DC
requirements as AGTL+ signals, however the outputs are not actively
driven high (during a logical 0 to 1 transition) by the processor (the major
difference between GTL+ and AGTL+). These signals do not have setup or
hold time specifications in relation to BCLK[1:0], and are therefore
referred to as “Asynchronous GTL+ Signals”. However, all of the

Maximum and Minimum Flight Time - Flight time variations are caused by
many different parameters. The more obvious causes include variation of
the board dielectric constant, changes in load condition, crosstalk, power
noise, variation in termination resistance, and differences in I/O buffer
performance as a function of temperature, voltage, and manufacturing
process. Some less obvious causes include effects of Simultaneous

timing parameters and degradation in signal quality caused by multiple
signal outputs simultaneously switching voltage levels in the opposite
direction from a single signal or in the same direction. These are called
odd mode and even mode switching, respectively. This simultaneous
switching of multiple outputs creates higher current swings that may
cause additional propagation delay (“push-out”) or a decrease in
propagation delay (“pull-in”). These SSO effects may impact the setup

2.5 Setting Up the Development Board
Once the necessary hardware (described in Section 2.4) has been gathered, follow the
steps below to set up the development board.
Getting Started
Note: To locate items discussed in the procedure below, please refer to Chapter
1. Create a safe work environment.
Ensure a static-free work environment before removing any components from
their anti-static packaging. The development board is susceptible to
electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage, and such damage may cause product
failure or unpredictable operation. A flame retardant work surface must also
be used.
Caution: It is recommended that an ESD wrist strap be used when handling the
development board.
2. Inspect the contents of your kit.
Check for damage that may have occurred during shipment. Contact your
sales representative if any items are missing or damaged.
Caution: Since the development board is not in a protective chassis, use caution
when connecting cables to this product.
Caution: Standby voltage is constantly applied to the development board. Remove
power before any hardware (peripherals, keyboards, mice, monitors,
accessories, add-in cards, etc) is added or removed from the board.
Note:The development board is a standard ATX form factor. An ATX chassis may
be used if a protected environment is desired. If a chassis is not used,
standoffs must be used to elevate the development board off the working
surface to protect the memory and board components from any
accidental contact to metal objects.
3. Check the jumper default position setting. Refer to Figure 7
for jumper location.
Jumper J5H2 is used to clear the CMOS memory. Make sure this jumper is set to
1-x for normal operation.

An overview of connector and slot locations is provided in Chapter 4.
3.3 Thermal Management
The objective of thermal management is to ensure that the temperature of each
component is maintained within specified functional limits. The functional temperature
limit is the range within which the electrical circuits can be expected to meet their
specified performance requirements. Operation outside the functional limit can
degrade system performance and cause reliability problems.
The development kit is shipped with a heatsink thermal solution for installation on the
processor. This thermal solution has been tested in an open-air environment at room
temperature and is sufficient for development purposes. The designer must ensure
that adequate thermal management is provided for if the system is used in other
environments or enclosures.

3.4.2.4 High Definition Audio
Intel® High Definition Audio is not supported on the development board.
3.4.2.5 ATA/ Storage
The development board has one parallel ATA IDE connector and three serial ATA
connectors.
The parallel ATA IDE Connector is a standard 40-pin connector at J7J4. This connector
supports up to two Ultra ATA/100 hard drives; one master and one slave.
There are three SATA connectors on the development board – one ‘Direct Connect’
connector and two ‘Cable Connect’ connectors. The ‘Direct Connect’ connector, located
at J8J1, provides both signaling and power while the ‘Cable Connect’ connectors,
located at J7H1 and J7J3, only provides signals (the user typically uses an ATX power
supply for the drive power). A green LED at location CR6J1 indicates activity on the
ATA channel.
The development board also supports ‘ATA swap’ capability for both the parallel IDE
channel and the serial ATA channels. A device can be powered down by software and
the port can then be disabled, allowing removal and insertion of a new device. The
parallel IDE device should be powered from the power connector, J4J2, on the
development board to utilize the hot swap feature. This feature requires customerdeveloped software support.

legacy USB ports. The first EHCI Host Controller includes a root hub that supports up
to six USB 2.0 ports and the second EHCI Host Controller includes a root hub that
supports up to four USB 2.0 ports.
The connection to either the UHCI or EHCI controllers is dynamic and dependant on
the particular USB device. As such, all ports support High Speed, Full Speed, and Low
Speed (HS/FS/LS).
3.4.2.7 LPC Super I/O (SIO)/LPC Slot
An SMSC SIO1007-JV serves as the SIO on the development board. Shunting the
jumper at J7D1 to the 2-3 positions can disable the SIO by holding it in reset. This
allows other SIO solutions to be tested in the LPC slot at J8E1. A sideband header is
provided at J9G1 for this purpose. This sideband header also has signals for LPC
power management. Information on this header is on sheet 44 of the development
board schematics.
3.4.2.8 Serial, IrDA
The SMSC SIO incorporates a serial port, and IrDA (Infrared), as well as general
purpose IOs (GPIO). The Serial Port connector is provided at J2A2, and the IrDA
transceiver is located at U4A1. The IrDA transceiver on the development board
supports SIR (slow IR), FIR (Fast IR) and CIR (Consumer IR). The option to select
between these is supported through software.
3.4.2.9 BIOS Firmware Hub (FWH)
An 8-Mbit Flash device used on the development board to store system and video. The
reference designator location of the FWH device is U8G1. The BIOS can be upgraded
using an MS-DOS* based utility called FWHFlash and is addressable on the LPC bus off
of the ICH8-M. FWHFlash is available on request from your Intel representative.
3.4.2.10 SPI
The Serial Peripheral Interface on ICH8-M is used to support two compatible flash
devices at locations U7E1 and U6D2. By default, the SPI flash is used to store
configuration data for the LAN controller. Optionally it may be used for BIOS and AMT
firmware storage.
It is necessary to set certain strapping options to enable either a FWH-based or SPIbased BIOS. Optionally, it is also possible to direct BIOS access to the PCI interface.
Table 7
describes these strapping options.

Note: GNT#0 is configurable via jumper J8E2. Further details on its location can be found in
Section 4.3. SPI_CS1# is configurable via stuffing option R7U12. By default R7U12 is
not stuffed resulting in a SPI_CS1# strapping value of 1.
3.4.2.11 System Management Controller (SMC)/Keyboard Controller
The Hitachi* H8S/2104RV serves as both SMC and KBC for the development board.
The SMC/KBC controller supports two PS/2 ports, battery monitoring and charging,
EMA support, wake/runtime SCI events, and power sequencing control. The two PS/2
ports on the development board are for legacy keyboard and mouse. The keyboard
plugs into the bottom jack and the mouse plugs into the top jack at J1A1. Scan matrix
keyboards can be supported via an optional connector at J9E1.
3.4.2.12 Clocks
The development board uses a CK-505 clock synthesizer and DB800 clock buffer
compatible solution. The FSB frequency is determined from decoding the processor
BSEL[2:0] pin settings. This pin settings may be strapped using the jumpers at J1G2,
J1G5 and J1G8. Refer to Figure 7
jumpers.
and Table 15 for further information on these
3.4.2.13 Real Time Clock
An on-board battery at BT5H1 maintains power to the real time clock (RTC) when in a
mechanical off state. A CR2032 battery is installed on the development board.
Warning: Risk of explosion if the lithium battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of
used batteries according to the vendor's instructions.
3.4.2.14 Thermal Monitoring
The processor has a thermal diode for temperature monitoring. The SMC throttles the
processor if it becomes hot. If the temperature of the processor rises too high, the
SMC alternately blinks the CAPS lock and NUM lock LEDs on the development board,
and the development board shuts down.
A 3-pin fan header J3C1 is provided to support Tachometer output measurement for
GMCH. The development board supports PWM based speed control. As part of the
thermal measurement, the speed of the fan is varied based on the temperature
measurement.

3.6 Power Management States
Table 9 and Table 10 lists the power management states that have been defined for
the baseboard.
The Manageability Engine (ME) operates at various power levels, called M-states. M0
is the highest power state, followed by M1 and M-off. The Manageability Engine
provides some of the functionality required to implement Intel
Technology (iAMT) on the development board. Further information on iAMT can be
found here: http://www.intel.com/technology/manage/iamt/

Note: While in an M-state other than M-off, the traditional hardware definition of the S-State
as defined by the SLP signals is overridden by the ICH8M. This allows devices
controlled by SLP_S3# and SLP_S4#, such as system memory, to be available to the
Manageability system as needed. Even though the SLP signals may be driven
differently in M-States, the S-State information is retained in the ICH8M for transition
to M-off. S4_STATE# is the new signal to indicate S4 transition.
Table 11
provides a truth table of the SLP signals in various system states and M-
States. The ICH8M provides all of the SLP signals shown in the table below.

3.7 Power Measurement Support
Power measurement resistors are provided on the development board to measure the
power of most subsystems. All power measurement resistors have a tolerance of 1%.
The value of these power measurement resistors are 0.002Ω by default. Power on a
particular subsystem is calculated using the following formula:
2
V
P
=
R = value of the sense resistor (typically 0.002Ω)
V = the voltage difference measured across the sense resistor
Use of an oscilloscope or high precision digital multi-meter tool such as the Agilent*
34401A digital multi-meter is recommended. Meters such as this have 6½ digits of
accuracy and can provide a much greater accuracy in power measurement than a
common 3½ digit multi-meter.

Note: A jumper consists of two or more pins mounted on the motherboard. When a jumper
cap is placed over two pins, it is designated as IN. When there are more than two
pins on the jumper, the pins to be shorted are indicated as 1-2 (to short pin 1 to pin
2), or 2-3 (to short pin 2 to pin 3). When no jumper cap is to be placed on the
jumper, it is designated as OUT. When a switch is designated as 1-2 the switch slide
is positioned such that pins 1 and 2 are shorted together.
4.4 Power On and Reset Buttons
The development board has two push buttons that implement POWER and RESET
functionality. The POWER button releases power to the entire development board,
causing the board to boot. The RESET button will force all systems to warm reset. The
two buttons are located near the CPU close to the edge of the development board. The
POWER button is located at SW1C1 and the RESET button is located at SW1C2.
Note: If the development board is powered from an external ATX power supply (not a power
brick), the Power button may need to be pressed twice to turn on the system.

4.6 Other Headers, Slots and Sockets
4.6.1 H8 Programming Headers
The microcontroller firmware for system management/keyboard/mouse control can be
upgraded in two ways. The user can either use a special DOS* utility known as
KSCFlash (in-circuit) or use an external computer connected (remote) to the system
via the serial port on the development board. KSCFlash is available on request from
your Intel representative.
If the user chooses to use an external computer connected to the system via the serial
port, there are four jumpers that must be set correctly first. Please refer to Table 15
for a summary of these jumpers and refer to Figure 7
for the location of each jumper.
Required Hardware: one Null Modem Cable and a Host Unit with a serial COM port
(System used to flash the development board)
Here is the sequence of events necessary to program the H8 via the serial port.
1. Extract all files (keep them in the same folder) to a single directory of your
choice on the host machine or on a floppy disk.
2. Connect a NULL modem cable to the serial ports of each platform (host and
unit to be flashed).
3. With the development board powered off, move the following jumpers to the
programming stuffing option.
a. J9G2 (remove) (default: 1-2), Sets SMC_INIT_CLK high.
b. J8B1 (2-3) (default: 1-2), link the Host Unit to on-board H8.
c. J8B2 (2-3) (default: 1-2), link the Host Unit to on-board H8.
316704-001 / Development Kit User’s Manual 47
d. J9H2 (1-2) (default: 1-X), disable 1 Hz Clock.
4. Attach an ATX power supply or AC to DC adapter to the system and power up
the development board.
5. From the directory where you extracted the files, run the “kscflash ksc.bin /
remote” command to program the H8 via the serial port.
6. Follow the instructions the flash utility provides.
7. With the development board powered off, return the jumpers to their default
setting.
Note: Make sure the development board is not powered on, and the power supply is
disconnected before moving any of the jumpers.

4.6.2.1 478 Pin Grid Array (Micro-FCPGA) Socket
The pin locking mechanism on the CPU socket is released by rotating the screw on the
socket 180 degrees counter-clockwise. CPU pins are keyed so as to only allow
insertion in one orientation. DO NOT FORCE CPU into socket. Once the CPU is properly
seated into the socket, turn the screw 180 degrees clock-wise to secure the CPU in the
socket. Note that the slot on the screw aligns with the lock and unlock legend on the
case of the CPU socket.
Caution: Please refer to the heatsink installation instructions in Appendix A prior to inserting
the heatsink as the CPU and socket can be easily damaged.
®
Caution: Only insert Intel
with the Mobile Intel
These processors have a pinout known as Socket-P. Earlier Intel
Mobile processors that have a pinout known as Socket-M are mechanically
compatible with the processor socket but not electrically compatible. Insertion of
these processors will cause damage to the processor and the development board.

Caution: An ESD wrist strap must be used when handling the board and installing the
heatsink/fan assembly.
A heatsink is included in the kit. To install the heatsink:
1. Remove the heatsink from its package and separate the fan heatsink portion
from the heatsink backplate.
Figure 9. Heatsink and Backplate
2. Examine the base of the heatsink, where contact with the processor die is
made. This surface should be clean of all materials and greases. Wipe the
bottom surface clean with isopropyl alcohol.
3. Place the backplate on the underside of the development board so that the
pins protrude through the holes in the development board around the
processor.

4. Clean the die of the processor with isopropyl alcohol before the heatsink is
attached to the processor. This ensures that the surface of the die is clean.
5. Remove the tube of thermal grease from the package and use it to coat the
exposed die of the CPU with the thermal grease.

6. Pick up the heatsink and squeeze the activation arm until it comes in contact
with the base plate that is attached to the heatsink base. This will cause the
springs on the heatsink attachment mechanism to compress.

7. While keeping the activation arm compressed, place the heatsink over the pins
of the heatsink backplate. Lower the heatsink until the lugs have inserted into
the base of the heatsink. Slide the heatsink over the lugs on the backplate
pins so that the base is directly over the processor die and the pins on the
backplate have travelled the entire length of the channel in the heatsink base.
Slowly let go of the activation arm until the base of the heatsink makes
contact with the processor die. The heatsink base should be flat on top of the
processor die.

8. Plug the fan connector for the heatsink onto the CPU fan header (J2B3) on the
motherboard.
Note: The CPU fan header (J2B3) is a 3-pin connector. This is a change from the Mobile
Intel® 945GM Express Chipset Development Kit which has a 2-pin CPU fan header. As
a result, it is not possible to use the heatsink from the Intel® 945GM Express Chipset
Development Kit even though the heatsink and backplate are mechanically
compatible.
