INTRODUCTION
Introduction
Product Description
I815E is a high-performance flexible embedded board based on the Intel
815E chipset that contains the Graphics and Memory Controller Hub
(GMCH), the I/O Controller Hub (ICH2) and the Firmware Hub (FWH).
It supports 66/100/133MHz system bus, up to 1.4GHz CPU speed,
integrated 2D/3D graphics accelerator, and PC100/PC133 SDRAM
modules. With the ICH2, it is able to support UDMA33/66/100, four
USB ports, and integrated LAN.
System memory is provided by one 168-pin DIMM socket that
accommodates SDRAM with a maximum capacity of 256MB. The
Award BIOS facilitates easy system configuration and peripheral setup.
Other advanced features include four USB ports, 256-level watchdog
timer (supported by LPC I/O IT8712), and IrDA interface.

Installing the CPU
The I815E board supports a Socket 370 processor socket for Intel
Pentium III and Celeron processors.
The Socket 370 processor socket comes with a lever to secure the
processor. Raise this lever to about a 90° angle to allow the insertion of
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 socket, return the lever
to the lock position. Refer to the figures below.
After you have installed the processor into the socket, check if the
jumpers for the CPU type and speed are correct.
NOTE:
cause your system to hang or be unstable.

Installing the Memory (DIMM)
The I815E board supports one 168-pin DIMM socket for a maximum
total memory of 256MB in SDRAM type. The memory module capacities
supported are 32MB, 64MB, 128MB and 256MB.
Installing and Removing DIMMs
To install the DIMM, locate the memory slot on the board and perform
the following steps:
1. Hold the DIMM so that the two keys of the DIMM align with those on
the memory slot.
2. Gently push the DIMM in an upright position until the clips of the slot
close to hold the DIMM in place when the DIMM touches the bottom
of the slot.
3. To remove the DIMM, press the clips with both hands.

Setting the Jumpers
Jumpers are used on I815E to select various settings and features
according to your needs and applications. Contact your supplier if you
have doubts about the best configuration for your needs. The following
lists the connectors on I815E and their respective functions.
Jumper Locations on I815E............................................................... 9
Configuring the CPU Frequency..................................................... 10
The I815E board does not provide DIP switches to configure the
processor speed (CPU frequency). However, the processor speed can be
configured inside the BIOS Setup. Refer to the BIOS Setup section in this
manual on how to change the processor speed.
JP2: Clear CMOS Contents
Use JP2, a 3-pin header, to clear the CMOS contents. Note that the
ATX-power connector should be disconnected from the board before
clearing CMOS.

JP9, JP10: CPU Overclocking
Use JP9 and JP10 2-pin jumpers when overclocking the CPU bus speed
from 66MHz to 100MHz or 100MHz to 133MHz. Refer to the table
below. Note that some processors cannot be overclocked because their
bus speed has been ‘locked’ by the manufacturer and overclocking can
cause the system to hang or become unstable.
