IMPORTANT NOTE: When the system boots without the CRT being

connected, there will be no image on screen when you insert the

CRT/VGA cable. To show the image on screen, the hotkey must be

pressed (CTRL-ALT-F1).

Introduction

Product Description

The MI945 Mini ITX board incorporates the Mobile Intel® GM45 Express

Chipset for Embedded Computing, consisting of the Intel® GM45 Graphic

Memory Controller Hub (GMCH) and Intel® I/O Controller Hub (ICH9-M), an

optimized integrated graphics solution with a 1066MHz and 800MHz front-side

bus. Dimensions of the board are 170mm x 170mm.

The integrated powerful 3D graphics engine, based on Intel® Graphics Media

Accelerator X3500 (Intel® GMA X3500) architecture, operates at core speeds of

up to 533 MHz. It features a low-power design, is validated with the Intel® Core

2 Duo processors on 45nm process. With dual channel DDR2 800MHz two

SoDIMM sockets on board, the board supports up to 4GB of DDR2 system

memory.

Intel® Graphics supports a unique intelligent memory management scheme

called Dynamic Video Memory Technology (DVMT). DVMT handles diverse

applications by providing the maximum (384MB) availability of system

memory for general computer usage, while supplying additional graphics

memory when a 3D-intensive application requests it. The Intel GMA X3500

graphics architecture also takes advantage of the high-performance Intel

processor. Intel GMA X3500 graphics supports Dual Independent Display

technology.

The main features of the board are:

Supports Intel® CoreTM 2 Duo (Penryn 1066MHz)

Supports up to 2.53GHz, 1066MHz/800MHz FSB

Two DDR2 SoDIMM, Max. 4GB memory

Onboard Gigabit PHY and Intel PCI-Express Gigabit LAN

Intel® GM45 Express VGA for CRT / LVDS

4x SATA, 8x USB 2.0, 4x COM, Watchdog timer

1x Mini PCI-E (Mini Card), 1x PCI, 1xPCI-E(x1) slots

Optional daughter cards:

ID390: Chrontel 7308, supports 24 bit single or dual LVDS channel

ID390C: Chrontel 7021, supports CRT

ID391: Chrontel 7307C, single DVI (connector on cable)

ID391D: Chrontel 7307C, dual DVI (connector on cable)

ID392D: Chrontel 7307C, dual DVI (one connector on card and one on cable)

INSTALLATIONS

Installing the CPU

The MI910 board supports a Socket 478MN (Merom) processor socket

for Intel® CoreTM 2 Duo, Intel® Celeron mobile processors.

The processor socket comes with a screw to secure the processor. As

shown in the left picture below, loosen the screw first before inserting

the processor. Place the processor into the socket by making sure the

notch on the corner of the CPU corresponds with the notch on the inside

of the socket. Once the processor has slide into the socket, fasten the

screw. Refer to the figures below.

NOTE: Ensure that the CPU heat sink and the CPU top surface are in

total contact to avoid CPU overheating problem that would

cause your system to hang or be unstable.
