Chapter 1: Introduction
1-2 Chipset Overview
Intel’s Mukilteo (E7230) chipset, designed for use with UP Pentium 4 and Dual Core
Pentium D Processors, is comprised of two primary components: the Memory Con-
troller Hub (MCH) and the I/O Controller Hub (ICH7R). With the capabilities provided
by the E7230 chipset, the PDSML-LN1/PDSML-LN2 provides the performance and
feature-set required for the high-end UP Server market.
Memory Controller Hub (MCH)
The function of the MCH is to manage the data fl ow between four interfaces: the
CPU interface, the DDRII System Memory Interface, the PCI Express Interface,
and the Direct Media Interface (DMI). The MCH is optimized for the Pentium 4 or
Pentium D processor in the LGA775 Land Grid Array Package. It supports one or
two channels of DDRII SDRAM.
The I/O Controller (ICH7R) provides the data buffering and interface arbitration re-
quired for the system to operate effi ciently. It also provides the bandwidth needed
for the system to maintain its peak performance. The Direct Media Interface (DMI)
provides the connection between the MCH and the ICH7R. The ICH7R supports
up to four Serial ATA ports, six USB 2.0 ports and two IDE devices. In addition, the
ICH7R offers the Intel Matrix Storage Technology which provides various RAID op-
tions for data protection and rapid data access. It also supports the next generation
of client management through the use of PROActive technology in conjunction with
Intel's next generation Gigabit Ethernet controller.
Intel ICH7R System Features
The I/O Controller Hub provides the I/O subsystem with access to the rest of the
system. Functions and capabilities include:
*Advanced Confi guration and Power Interface, Version 2.0 (ACPI)
*Intel I/O External Design Specifi cation (EDS)
*Mukilteo (7230) Memory Controller Hub (MCH) External Design Specifi cation
(EDS)
*Intel I/O Controller Hub 7 (ICH7R) Thermal Design Guideline
*Intel 82573 Platform LAN Connect (PLC) PCI Design
*Low Pin Count (LPC) Interface

PDSML-LN1/PDSML-LN2 User’s Manual
1-3 PC Health Monitoring
This section describes the PC health monitoring features of the PDSMi-LN4. The
motherboard has an onboard System Hardware Monitor chip that supports PC
health monitoring.
Onboard Voltage Monitors for the CPU Cores, Chipset Voltage,
Memory Voltage , +3.3V, +5V, +5V Standby, +12V, and −12V (via
SuperO Doctor III)
The onboard voltage monitor will scan these voltages continuously. Once a
voltage becomes unstable, it will give a warning or send an error message to
the screen. Users can adjust the voltage thresholds to defi ne the sensitivity of
the voltage monitor.
Fan Status Monitor with Firmware Speed Control
The PC health monitor can check the RPM status of the cooling fans. The onboard
fans are controlled by Thermal Management via BIOS.
CPU Overheat/Fan Fail LED and Control
This feature is available when the user enables the CPU overheat warning function
in the BIOS. This allows the user to defi ne an overheat temperature. When this
temperature reaches the threshold, the CPU thermal trip feature will be activated
and it will send a signal to the Speaker LED and, at the same time, the CPU will
slow down. It will also activate the alarm if a fan failure occurs.
1-4 Power Confi guration Settings
This section describes features of your motherboard that deal with power and
power settings.
Slow Blinking LED for Suspend-State Indicator
When the CPU goes into a suspend state, the chassis power LED will start blinking
to indicate that the CPU is in the suspend mode. When the user presses any key,
the CPU will wake-up and the LED will automatically stop blinking and stay on.
BIOS Support for USB Keyboard
If the USB keyboard is the only keyboard in the system, this keyboard will function
like a normal keyboard during system boot-up.
Main Switch Override Mechanism
When an ATX power supply is used, the power button can function as a system
suspend button. When the user presses the power button, the system will enter
into a SoftOff state. The monitor will be suspended and the hard drive will spin
1-10
Chapter 1: Introduction
down. Pressing the power button again will cause the whole system to wake-up.
During the SoftOff state, the ATX power supply provides power to keep the required
circuitry in the system "alive." In case the system malfunctions and you want to
turn off the power, just press and hold the power button for 4 seconds. The power
will turn off and no power will be provided to the motherboard.
Wake Ring-On (WOR)
Wake-up events can be triggered by a device such as the external modem ringing
when the system is in the SoftOff state. Note that external modem ring-on can only
be used with an ATX 2.01 (or above) compliant power supply.
Wake-On-LAN (WOL)
Wake-On-LAN is defi ned as the ability of a management application to remotely
power up a computer that is powered off. Remote PC setup, up-dates and asset
tracking can occur after hours and on weekends so that daily LAN traffi c is kept to
a minimum and users are not interrupted. The motherboard has a 3-pin header
(WOL) to connect to the 3-pin header on a Network Interface Card (NIC) that has
WOL capability. In addition, an onboard LAN controller can also support WOL
without any connection to the WOL header. The 3-pin WOL header is to be used
with a LAN add-on card only. *Note: Wake-On-LAN requires an ATX 2.01 (or above)
compliant power supply.
1-5 ACPI Features
ACPI stands for Advanced Confi guration and Power Interface. The ACPI specifi -
cation defi nes a fl exible and abstract hardware interface that provides a standard
way to integrate power management features throughout a PC system, including its
hardware, operating system and application software. This enables the system to
automatically turn on and off peripherals such as CD-ROMs, network cards, hard
disk drives and printers. This also includes consumer devices connected to the PC
such as VCRs, TVs, telephones and stereos.
In addition to enabling operating system-directed power management, ACPI

1-6 Power Supply
As with all computer products, a stable power source is necessary for proper and
reliable operation. It is even more important for processors that have high CPU
clock rates of 1 GHz and faster.
The
Although most power supplies generally meet the specifi cations required by the
CPU, some are inadequate. A 2 amps of current supply on a 5V Standby rail is
strongly recommended.
The PDSML-LN1/PDSML-LN2 accommodates ATX power supplies. In addition to
the 24-pin ATX power supply (JPW1), the 12V 8-pin (JPW2) connection is also re-
quired to provide adequate power supply to the system. It is strongly recommended
that you use a high quality power supply that meets ATX power supply Specifi cation
2.02 or above. Also your power supply must supply 1.5A for the Ethernet ports. It
must also be SSI compliant (info at http://www.ssiforum.org/). Additionally, in areas
where noisy power transmission is present, you may choose to install a line fi lter to
shield the computer from noise. It is recommended that you also install a power
surge protector to help avoid problems caused by power surges.
PDSML-LN1/PDSML-LN2 accommodates 12V ATX power supplies.

2-1 Static-Sensitive Devices
Electric-Static-Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic com ponents. To prevent
damage to your system board, it is important to handle it very carefully. The following
measures are generally suffi cient to protect your equipment from ESD.
Precautions
• Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.
• Touch a grounded metal object before removing the board from the antistatic
bag.
• Handle the board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral
chips, memory modules or gold contacts.
• When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.
• Put the motherboard and peripherals back into their antistatic bags when not in
use.
• For grounding purposes, make sure your computer chassis provides excellent
conductivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners and
the motherboard.
• Use only the correct type of onboard CMOS battery. Do not install the onboard
upside down battery to avoid possible explosion.
Unpacking
The motherboard is shipped in antistatic packaging to avoid static damage. When
unpacking the board, make sure the person handling it is static protected.

2-2 Processor, Heatsink and Fan Installation
When handling the processor package, avoid placing
direct pressure on the label area of the fan.
(*Notes: 1. Always connect the power cord last and always remove it before adding,
removing or changing any hardware components. Make sure that you install the
processor into the CPU socket before you install the CPU heatsink.
2. Intel's boxed Pentium 4 CPU package contains the CPU fan and heatsink as-
sembly. If you buy a CPU separately, make sure that you use only Intel-certifi ed
multi-directional heatsink and fan.
3. The Intel Pentium 4 LGA 775 heatsink and fan comes with a push-pin design
and no tool is needed for installation.
4. Make sure to install the motherboard into the chassis before you install the CPU
heatsink and fan.)
5. When purchasing an LGA 775 CPU or when receiving a motherboard with an LGA
775 CPU pre-installed, make sure that the CPU plastic cap is in place and none of
the CPU pins are bent; otherwise, contact the retailer immediately.

6. Align Pin 1 of the CPU with Pin 1 of the
socket. Once aligned, carefully lower the
CPU straight down to the socket. (**Do not
drop the CPU on the socket. Do not move
the CPU horizontally or vertically. Do not
rub the CPU against the surface or against
any pins of the socket to avoid damage to
the CPU or the socket.)

Installation of the Heatsink
1. Locate the CPU Fan on the mother-
board. (Refer to the layout on the right
for the CPU Fan location.)
2. Position the heatsink so that the
heatsink fan wires are closest to the
CPU fan and are not interfered with
other components.
3. Inspect the CPU Fan wires to make
sure that the wires are routed through
the bottom of the heatsink.
4. Remove the thin layer of the protec-
tive fi lm from the copper core of the
heatsink.
Thermal Grease
(*Warning: CPU overheat may occur if
the protective fi lm is not removed from
the heatsink.)
5. Apply the proper amount of thermal
grease on the CPU. (*Note: if your
heatsink came with a thermal pad,
please ignore this step.)
6. If necessary, rearrange the wires
to make sure that the wires are not
pinched between the heatsink and the
CPU. Also make sure to keep clear-
ance between the fan wires and the
fi ns of the heatsink.
7. Align the four heatsink fasten-
ers with the mounting holes on the
motherboard. Gently push the pairs of

2-3 Mounting the Motherboard in the Chassis
All motherboards have standard mounting holes to fi t different types of chassis.
Make sure that the locations of all the mounting holes for both the motherboard
and the chassis match. Make sure that the metal standoffs click in or are screwed
in tightly. Then use a screwdriver to secure the motherboard onto the motherboard
tray. (*Note: some components are very close to the mounting holes. Please take
all necessary precautionary measures to prevent damage done to these compo-
nents when installing the motherboard into the chassis.)

2-4 Installing DDR II Memory
Memory Module Installation (See Figure 2-2)
Exercise extreme care when installing or removing memory modules
to prevent any possible damage.
1. Insert each DDR II memory module vertically into its slot. Pay attention to the
notch along the bottom of the module to prevent inserting the module incor-
rectly. (See support information below.)
2. Gently press down on the memory module until it snaps into place.
Support
The PDSML-LN1/PDSML-LN2 supports single/dual channel, ECC/Non ECC
unbuffered DDR II 667/533/400 SDRAM. Both interleaved and non-interleaved
memory are supported, so you may populate any number of DIMM slots.
(Populating DIMM#1A,DIMM#1B, and/or DIMM#2A, DIMM#2B with memory
modules of the same size and of the same type will result in dual channel,
two-way interleaved memory which is faster than the single channel, non-
interleaved memory. When ECC memory is used, it may take 25-40 seconds
for the VGA to display.)
*Notes:
1. Due to chipset limitation, 8GB Memory can only be supported by the following
operating systems:
32-Bit: Windows 2000 Advanced Server, Windows Server 2003 Enterprise
Edition;
64-Bit: Windows Server 2003 Standard x64 Edition, Windows XP Professional
x64 Edition, Windows Server 2003 Enterprise x64 Edition.
2. You may install a maximum of 2GB DIMMs on each slot; however, only DDR II
533 MHz 2GB density modules are available for this confi guration.
3. Some old-version of DDR II-667 may not match Intel's On-Die-Temperature
requirement and will automatically be down-graded to run @ 533 MHz, If this
occurs, contact your memory vendor to check the ODT value.
*4: Due to memory allocation to system devices, memory remaining available for
operational use will be reduced when 4 GB of RAM is used. The reduction in
memory availability is disproportional. (Refer to the Memory Availability Table
below for details.)
