Introduction

Product Description

The MI945P 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® GMAX3500) 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 PCI-E(x16) slot, 1x PCI slot

INSTALLATIONS

MI945P User’s Manual

Installing the CPU

The MI945P board supports a Socket P 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.
