Introduction

Product Description

The MI810 Mini ITX board incorporates the Intel® 945GSE Express Chipset
with ICH7M, configured with the Intel Atom processor N270 at 1.6GHz,
FSB533 and the Mobile Intel 945GSE Express Chipset with the ICH7M.

The MI810 Mini ITX board features the Intel's Graphics Media Accelerator 950
core, making it compatible with Windows Vista Premium, and Chrontel CH7307
DVI accelerator to support display interfaces including VGA CRT, dual channel
LVDS and a DVI port.

Installing the Memory

The MI810 board supports two DDR2 memory socket for a maximum
total memory of 2GB in DDR2 memory type.

Installing and Removing Memory Modules

To install the DDR2 modules, locate the memory slot on the board and
perform the following steps:

1. Hold the DDR2 module so that the key of the DDR2 module align

with those on the memory slot.

2. Gently push the DDR2 m odule in an upright position until the clips 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 with both hands.
