1.1 Introduction

Unlike the traditional PC, the MPC 865 comes with a fancy design case
and multimedia I/O ports for quick connection and use. The embedded 6-in-1
card reader (for Deluxe model) provides a total solution for accessing your vari­ous types of memory cards instead of finding the respective card readers. With
an optional TV tuner card installed, the MPC 865 can be a multimedia platform.
You can record, capture and schedule all the TV programs with the proprietary
application.

In addition, you can surf the Internet with the optional wireless LAN card
(for Deluxe model) to enhance the mobility of your MPC 865. Now, you can
enjoy it anywhere.

ATTENTION!!!

The file system format in Compact Disc (CD) is based on
ISO9660. However, the format on DVD disc is a subset of
UDF (Universal Disk Format) called micro UDF (M-UDF),
which is based on ISO13346.
So far BVL+ does not support DVD format. That is the rea­son you see strange symptom when using DVD discs.

Introducing Mainboard

2.2 CPU

The MEGA 865 supports Intel® Northwood® processors up to 3.2GHz. The
mainboard uses a CPU socket called PGA478 for easy CPU installation. When
you are installing the CPU, make sure the CPU has a heat sink and a cooling fan
attached on the top to prevent overheating.

Overheating

Overheating will seriously damage the CPU and system, always
make sure the cooling fan can work properly to protect the CPU
from overheating.

Introduction to DDR SDRAM

DDR (Double Data Rate) SDRAM is
similar to conventional SDRAM, but
doubles the rate by transferring data twice
per cycle. It uses 2.5 volts as opposed to

3.3 volts used in SDR SDRAM, and requires
184-pin DIMM modules rather than 168­pin DIMM modules used by SDR SDRAM.
High memory bandwidth makes DDR an
ideal solution for high performance PC,
workstations and servers.

The mainboard provides 2 slots for 184-pin DDR SDRAM DIMM (Double
In-Line Memory Module) modules and supports the memory size up to 2GB. You
can install PC3200/DDR400, PC2700/DDR333 or PC2100/DDR266 modules into
the DDR DIMM slots.

The mainboard provides two IEEE 1394 ports. This smaller one is de­signed for you to connect the IEEE 1394 device with external power. The IEEE
1394 high-speed serial bus complements USB by providing enhanced PC con­nectivity for a wide range of devices, including consumer electronics audio/video
(A/V) appliances, storage peripherals, other PCs, and portable devices.

Software Support

IEEE 1394 Driver is provided by Windows® 98 SE, Windows® XP,
Windows® ME and Windows® 2000. Just plug in the IEEE 1394 con­nector into the port. These Operating Systems will install the driver
for IEEE 1394.

IEEE 1394 Port: J1394-1

The bigger 6-pin IEEE 1394 Port on the back panel is designed for you to
connect to IEEE 1394 devices without external power. That means the mainboard
can provide the power for the devices connected to this port.

Software Support

IEEE 1394 Driver is provided by Windows® 98 SE, Windows® XP,
Windows® ME and Windows® 2000. Just plug in the IEEE 1394
connector into the port. These Operating Systems will install the
driver for IEEE 1394.

USB Ports

The mainboard provides an OHCI (Open Host Controller Interface) Uni­versal Serial Bus root for attaching USB devices such as keyboard, mouse or
other USB-compatible devices. You can plug the USB device directly into the
connector.

Mic-in/Head-Phone

Mic-in is a connector for microphone. Head-Phone is a connector for

Speakers or Headphones.

OPTICAL SPDIF-in

The OPTICAL connector allows you to receive the audio file of SPDIF

interface for recording and playing.

The SPDIF (Sony & Philips Digital Interface) is developed jointly by the
Sony and Philips corporations . A standard audio file transfer format, SPDIF
allows the transfer of digital audio signals from one device to another without
having to be converted first to an analog format.
