Chapter 1 Overview

Thank you for choosing the IB-945GC, an excellent PCI/ISA Single Board Computer from MSI.

Based on the innovative Intel® 945GC & ICH7R chipsets for optimal system efciency, the IB-945GC accommodates the Intel® Pentium® 4 / Pentium® D / Core™2 Duo processor and supports 2 DDR2 667/533/400 DIMM slots to provide the maximum of 2GB memory capacity.

This PCI/ISA SBC is more maintainable than a conventional motherboard system and has a much lower mean time to repair (MTTR). It’s easily upgradeable

and provides conguration control for longer product

lifetime.

When you are installing the CPU, make sure to install the cooler to prevent overheating. If you do not have the CPU cooler, consult your dealer before turning on the computer.

For the latest information about CPU, please visit http://www.msi.com/index.php?func=cpuform2

Important

Overheating

Overheating will seriously damage the CPU and system. Always make sure the cooling fan can work properly to protect the CPU from overheating. Make sure that you apply an even layer of thermal paste (or thermal tape) between the CPU and the heatsink to enhance heat dissipation.

Replacing the CPU

While replacing the CPU, always turn off the ATX power supply or unplug

the power supply’s power cord from the grounded outlet rst to ensure the

safety of CPU.

CPU & Cooler Installation

When installing the CPU, make sure the CPU has a cooler attached on the top to prevent overheating. Meanwhile, do not forget to apply some thermal paste on CPU before installing the heat sink/cooler fan for better heat dispersion.

Follow the steps below to install the CPU & cooler correctly. Wrong installation will cause damage to your CPU & mainboard.

The CPU socket has a plastic

Ratio CMOS Setting

▶

This setting controls the multiplier that is used to determine the internal clock speed of the processor relative to the external or motherboard clock speed.

Hardware Prefetcher

▶

The processor has a hardware prefetcher that automatically analyzes its requirements and prefetches data and instructions from the memory into the Level 2 cache that are likely to be required in the near future. This reduces the latency associated with memory reads. When enabled, the processor’s hardware prefetcher will be enabled and allowed to automatically prefetch data and code for the processor. When disabled, the processor’s hardware prefetcher will be disabled.

Adjacent Cache Line Prefetch

▶

The processor has a hardware adjacent cache line prefetch mechanism that automatically fetches an extra 64-byte cache line whenever the processor requests for a 64-byte cache line. This reduces cache latency by making the next cache line immediately available if the processor requires it as well. When enabled, the processor will retrieve the currently requested cache line, as well as the subsequent cache line. When disabled, the processor will only retrieve the currently requested cache line.

Max CPUID Value Limit

▶

The Max CPUID Value Limit BIOS feature allows you to circumvent problems with older operating systems that do not support the Intel Pentium 4 processor with Hyper-Threading Technology. When enabled, the processor will limit the maximum CPUID input value to 03h when queried, even if the processor supports a higher CPUID input value. When disabled, the processor will return the actual maximum CPUID input value of the processor when queried.

Enabling this setting will cause the BIOS power-on self test routine to skip some of its tests during bootup for faster system boot.

Quiet Boot

▶

This BIOS feature determines if the BIOS should hide the normal POST messages with the motherboard or system manufacturer’s full-screen logo.

When it is enabled, the BIOS will display the full-screen logo during the boot-up sequence, hiding normal POST messages.

When it is disabled, the BIOS will display the normal POST messages, instead of the full-screen logo.

Please note that enabling this BIOS feature often adds 2-3 seconds of delay to the booting sequence. This delay ensures that the logo is

displayed for a sufcient amount of time. Therefore, it is recommended

that you disable this BIOS feature for a faster boot-up time.
