2.5 Subsystem Descriptions
Subsystem features refer to the socket and connector locations on the Crown Beach
Board. Socket and connector locations are labeled with a letter-number combination.
Refer to the silkscreen labeling on Crown Beach Board for location detail.
2.5.1 Intel® SCH Chipset
• Processor interface at 400/533 MHz
• Single channel DDR2 memory interface running at 400/533 MT/s
• Two PCI Express* ports, x1
• Eight USB 2.0 compatible ports
• One ATAPI-6 (UDMA 100MB/s) IDE channel
• Intel® HD Audio
• Three SDIO/MMC interfaces
• One channel 24-bit LVDS
• One channel SDVO
• LPC bus
2.5.2 System Memory
• Supports a single DDR2 SO-DIMM socket. SO-DIMMs must be un-buffered and
compliant with Raw Cards A or C as defined by JEDEC.
• Supports 400- or 533-MHz memory bus frequencies.
Note: SO-DIMM support is only provided for validation purposes. The Intel® Centrino®
Atom™ Processor Technology Platform Design Guide provides component
implementations for memory down solutions. The DDR2 SODIMM Architecture’s
Implementation for Intel® System Controller Hub (SCH) US15W whitepaper provides
guidelines for implementing a SO-DIMM solution, although the recommendations are
based on simulation only and have not been validated. It is recommended that
customers validate their designs.
2.5.3 Display
The reference board has two options for displaying video:
• LVDS – location is J5G2
• SDVO – location is J7C2
Note: The customer reference board supports single channel LVDS only.

2.5.4 PCI Express* Slots
• Two PCI Express* slots x1 for add-in cards.
• The PCI Express* bus complies with the PCI Express* Rev. 1.0a specification.
Crown Beach provides two PCI Express* Mini Card form factor slots. The PCI Express*
specification pin-out is followed by Mini Card Slot A only and not by Mini Card Slot B.
Mini Card Slot A is enabled by default and to enable Mini Card Slot B, rework needs to
be performed. The slots are not to be used with PCI Express* Mini Card-based
devices. Mini Card A (J7H1) is designed for use with CM100/CM101 cards from
Quanta. Mini Card A can be populated with the Kedron, Echo Peak, or Shirley Peak
wireless cards. Mini Card B (J2G1) is designed for use with Wireless WAN cards from
Sierra Wireless* and Option*.
2.5.5 Soft Audio/Soft Modem
High Definition Soft Audio/Soft Modem functionality is enabled through the Mott
Canyon 4 daughter card. No direct connection is provided for Intel® HD Audio on
