Chapter 1: Introduction
1-2 Chipset Overview
Intel’s Mukilteo (E7230) chipset, designed for use with the Pentium 4 Processor
in the 90nm Process in the LGA 775 Land Grid Array Package, is comprised of
two primary components: the Memory Controller Hub (MCH) and the I/O Control-
ler Hub (ICH7R). In addition, Intel's PCI-X (PXH) is used for added functionality.
The PDSMP-8/PDSMP-i provides the performance and feature-set required for
the high-end desktop and the UP workstation market. The PDSMP-8/i provides
the performance and feature-set required for the high-end desktop and the UP
workstation market.
Memory Controller Hub (MCH)
The function of the MCH is to manage the data fl ow between four interfaces: the
CPU interface, DDR2 System Memory Interface, PCI Express Interface, and the
Direct Media Interface (DMI). The MCH is optimized for the Pentium 4 processor
in the 90nm process in the LGA775 Land Grid Array Package. It supports one or
two channels of DDR2 SDRAMa, x8 PCI-Express.
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 six PCI-Express slots, 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 options 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 IIO External Design Specifi cation (EDS)
*Mukilteo Memory Controller Hub (MCH) External Design Specifi cation (EDS)
*Intel I/O Controller Hub 7R (ICH7R) Thermal Design Guideline
*Low Pin Count (LPC) Interface

PDSMP-8/PDSMP-i User’s Manual
1-3 PC Health Monitoring
This section describes the PC health monitoring features of the PDSMP-8/PDSMP-
i. The motherboard has an onboard System Hardware Monitor chip that supports
PC health monitoring.
Onboard Voltage Monitors for the CPU Core, 1.5V, +3.3V, +5V,
+5V standby, +12V and −12V
The onboard voltage monitor will scan these voltages continuously. Once a volt-
age 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 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 speed
will be decreased.
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 suspend mode. When the user presses any key, the
CPU will wake-up and the LED will automatically stop blinking and remain on.
BIOS Support for USB Keyboard
If the USB keyboard is the only keyboard in the system, it 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 depresses the power button, the system will enter
a SoftOff state. The monitor will be suspended and the hard drive will spin down.
1-10
Chapter 1: Introduction
Depressing the power button again will cause the whole system to wake-up. Dur-
ing 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 depress 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. Wake-On-LAN must be enabled in BIOS. Note that Wake-On-LAN
can only be used with 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 pro-
vides a generic system event mechanism for Plug and Play and an operating
system-independent interface for confi guration control. ACPI leverages the Plug
and Play BIOS data structures while providing a processor architecture-independent
implementation that is compatible with both Windows and Linux Operating Sys-
tems.

PDSMP-8/PDSMP-i User’s Manual
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
though 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 PDSMP-8/PDSMP-i accommodates ATX power supplies. It is strongly recom-
mended that you use a high quality power supply that meets ATX power supply
Specifi cation 2.02 or above. You should use one that will supply at least 350W
of power. 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

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.

PDSMP-8/PDSMP-i User's Manual
2-2 Processor and Heatsink 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. Refer to the MB Features Section for more details on CPU support.

4. Position the motherboard in such a way
that Pin 1 of the CPU socket is located at
the left bottom of the CPU housing.
5. Use your thumb and your index fi nger
to hold the CPU at the North Center Edge
and the South Center Edge of the CPU.
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.)

7. With the CPU inside the socket, inspect
the four corners of the CPU to make sure
that the CPU is properly installed.
8. Use your thumb to gently push the
Socket Lever
lever down and lock it in the hook.
9. If the CPU is properly installed into the
socket, the plastic cap will be automatical-
ly released from the load plate when the
lever is pushed into the hook. Remove
the plastic cap from the motherboard.
(*Warning: Please keep the plastic
!
cap. The motherboard and the CPU
must be shipped with the plastic cap
properly installed to protect the CPU pins.
Shipment without the CPU plastic cap
properly installed will void the warranty.)
Plastic cap is released
from the load plate if
CPU properly installed.

Installation of the Heatsink
1. Locate the CPU Fan Fan on the
motherboard. (Refer to the layout on
the right for the CPU Fan location.)
2. Position the heatsink in such a
way 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
protective 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
diagonal fasteners (#1 & #2, and #3
& #4) into the mounting holes until
you hear a click. (*Note: Make sure to
orient each fastener in a way that the
narrow end of the groove is pointing
outward.)

2-3 Mounting the Motherboard in the Chassis
All motherboards have standard mounting holes to fi t different types of chassis.
Make sure the location of all the mounting holes for both the motherboard and the
chassis match. Although a chassis may have both plastic and metal mounting fas-
teners, metal ones are highly recommended because they ground the motherboard
to the chassis. Make sure 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 components
when installing the motherboard into the chassis.)

2-4 Installing DDR 2 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 2 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 PDSMP-8/i supports Dual channel, ECC unbuffered DDR 2 667/533/400
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.)
(*Note: 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 2
533 2GB density modules are available for this confi guration.
3. Some old-version of DDR 2-667 may not match Intel's On-Die-Tempeature re-
quirement and will automatically be down-graded to run @ 533 MHz, If this
occurs, contact your memory vendor to check the ODT value.)
To Install:
Insert module vertically and press down
until it snaps into
place. Pay attention
to the notch.
To Remove:
Use your thumbs to
gently push each
release tab outward
to release the DIMM
from the slot.
