INTRODUCTION
Introduction
Product Description
The MB875 is a versatile motherboard with four Gigabit Ethernets that is
designed for SOHO network security applications. Optimized for network
performance, this scalable platform is based on the Intel(R) 852GM chipset
and supports Intel(R) Pentium(R) M / Celeron(R) M processors of up to
2.0GHz speeds with front size bus of 400MHz. System memory can support
up to 2GB of DDR266 DIMM modules.
The MB875 uses the highly efficient Intel(R) 82541PI Ethernet providing
robust Gigabit networking with enhanced power management and consumes
less than 1.0W of power at Gigabit speeds. It supports intensive networking
communication required by firewall or VPN and offers bypass function
support on LAN1 and LAN2 to ensure high network availability.
To provide the best utilization and performance, the platform provides a
number storage interfaces including two IDE ports, two SATA ports, four
USB ports and a CompactFlash socket. One PCI 32-bit/33MHz Golden
Finger and one Mini-PCI slot are available for expansion. Furthermore, it
features status / alarm LED and a factory-default button that can be flexibly
configured to create features for ISVs. The MB875 motherboards are now
available to purchase.

INSTALLATIONS
Installing the CPU
The MB875 board supports a Socket 479 processor socket for Intel
Pentium
®
M or Celeron® M processors.
The processor socket comes with a screw to secure the processor. As
shown in the left picture below, loosen the screw first before inserting
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, fasten the
screw. Refer to the figures below.
®
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.

INSTALLATIONS
Installing the Memory
The MB875 board supports one DDR memory sockets for a maximum
total memory of 1GB in DDR memory type. The memory module
capacities supported are 128MB, 256MB, 512MB and 1GB. The
following table lists the supported DDR DIMM configurations. Intel
852GM supports configurations defined in the JEDEC DDR DIMM
specification only. Non-JEDEC standard DIMMs such as double-sided
x16 DDR SDRAM DIMMs are not supported.
Installing and Removing Memory Modules
To install the DDR modules, locate the memory slot on the board and
perform the following steps:
1. Hold the DDR module so that the key of the DDR module align with
those on the memory slot.
2. Gently push the DDR module in an upright position until the clips of
the slot close to hold the DDR module in place when the DDR module
touches the bottom of the slot.
3. To remove the DDR module, press the clips with both hands.
