INTRODUCTION  
Introduction  
Product Description  
The ET900 board incorporates the Mobile Intel® 945GM Express  
Chipset for Embedded Computing, consisting of the Intel® 945GM  
Graphic Memory Controller Hub (GMCH) and Intel® I/O Controller  
Hub 7-M (ICH7-M), an optimized integrated graphics solution with a  
533MHz and 667MHz front-side bus. Dimensions of the board are  
95mm x 125mm.  
The integrated powerful 3D graphics engine, based on Intel® Graphics  
Media Accelerator 950 (Intel® GMA 950) architecture, operates at core  
speeds of up to 400 MHz. It features a low-power design and is validated  
with the Intel® Core Duo/Solo on 65nm process. With DDR2 667MHz  
SO-DIMM socket on board, the board supports up to 2GB of DDR2  
system memory.  
Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 950 supports a unique intelligent  
memory management scheme called Dynamic Video Memory  
Technology (DVMT). DVMT handles diverse applications by providing  
the maximum (224MB) availability of system memory for general  
computer usage, while supplying additional graphics memory when a  
3D-intensive application requests it. The Intel GMA 950 graphics  
architecture also takes advantage of the high-performance Intel  
processor. Intel GMA 950 graphics supports Dual Independent Display  
technology.

INTRODUCTION  
Installing the Processor  
The ET900 is available with a processor socket on board or with an  
Intel® processor on board. In the case that your ET900 comes a Socket  
479 processor socket for Intel® Pentium® M or Celeron® M processors,  
follow the instructions below regarding the processor installation.  
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 processor 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.

INTRODUCTION  
Installing the Memory  
The ET900 COM Express CPU module accommodates 200-pin  
DDR2-533 and DDR2-667 SODIMM memory modules with capacities  
up to 2GB. Non-ECC is supported.  
Installing and Removing Memory Modules  
To install the DDR2 modules, locate the memory slot on the board and  
perform the following steps:  
1. Hold the DDR2 module so that the key of the DDR2 module align  
with those on the memory slot. Insert the module into the socket at a  
slight angle (approximately 30 degrees). Note that the socket and  
module are both keyed, which means that the module can be installed  
only in one direction.  
2. To seat the memory module into the socket, apply firm and even  
pressure to each end of the module until you feel it slip down into the  
socket.  
3. With the module properly seated in the socket, rotate the module  
downward. Continue pressing downward until the clips at each end  
lock into position.  
4. To remove the DDR2 module, press the clips with both hands.

Connectors on ET900  
J2, J3: COM Express Type 2 Connectors  
The Type 2 connectors come in two 220-pin 0.5mm pitch receptacles.  
They include PCI, IDE, GBE and up to 22 general-purpose PCIE lanes  
(PCIE 0-5 and PCIE 16-31). For most Type 2 implementations, it is  
expected that PCIE lanes 16-31 are used for graphics. Hence they are  
designated PEG lanes 0-15 in the following table. Modules  
implementing Pin out Type 2, such as the ET900, uses the pin-out  
shown.

BIOS SETUP  
BIOS Introduction  
The Award BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) installed in your  
computer system’s ROM supports Intel processors. The BIOS provides  
critical low-level support for a standard device such as disk drives, serial  
ports and parallel ports. It also adds virus and password protection as  
well as special support for detailed fine-tuning of the chipset controlling  
the entire system.  
BIOS Setup  
The Award BIOS provides a Setup utility program for specifying the  
system configurations and settings. The BIOS ROM of the system stores  
the Setup utility. When you turn on the computer, the Award BIOS is  
immediately activated. Pressing the <Del> key immediately allows you  
to enter the Setup utility. If you are a little bit late pressing the <Del>  
key, POST (Power On Self Test) will continue with its test routines, thus  
preventing you from invoking the Setup. If you still wish to enter Setup,  
restart the system by pressing the ”Reset” button or simultaneously  
pressing the <Ctrl>, <Alt> and <Delete> keys. You can also restart by  
turning the system Off and back On again. The following message will  
appear on the screen:  
Press <DEL> to Enter Setup  
In general, you press the arrow keys to highlight items, <Enter> to  
select, the <PgUp> and <PgDn> keys to change entries, <F1> for help  
and <Esc> to quit.  
When you enter the Setup utility, the Main Menu screen will appear on  
the screen. The Main Menu allows you to select from various setup  
functions and exit choices.

control keys section, there is another section, which displays information  
on the currently highlighted item in the list.  
Note:  
If the system cannot boot after making and saving system  
changes with Setup, the Award BIOS supports an override to  
the CMOS settings that resets your system to its default.  
Warning: It is strongly recommended that you avoid making any  
changes to the chipset defaults. These defaults have been  
carefully chosen by both Award and your system  
manufacturer to provide the absolute maximum performance  
and reliability. Changing the defaults could cause the system  
to become unstable and crash in some cases.

BIOS SETUP  
Standard CMOS Setup  
“Standard CMOS Setup” choice allows you to record some basic  
hardware configurations in your computer system and set the system  
clock and error handling. If the board is already installed in a working  
system, you will not need to select this option. You will need to run the  
Standard CMOS option, however, if you change your system hardware  
configurations, the onboard battery fails, or the configuration stored in  
the CMOS memory was lost or damaged.

Bootable add-in Cardswhich refers to other external devices.  
Virus Warning  
If this option is enabled, an alarm message will be displayed when trying to write  
on the boot sector or on the partition table on the disk, which is typical of the  
virus.  
CPU L1 and L2 Cache  
Cache memory is additional memory that is faster than conventional DRAM  
(system memory). CPUs from 486-type on up contain internal cache memory,  
and most, but not all, modern PCs have additional (external) cache memory.  
When the CPU requests data, the system transfers the requested data from the  
main DRAM into cache memory, for even faster access by the CPU. These allow  
you to enable (speed up memory access) or disable the cache function.

BIOS SETUP  
Quick Power On Self Test  
When enabled, this field speeds up the Power On Self Test (POST) after  
the system is turned on. If it is set to Enabled, BIOS will skip some  
items.  
First/Second/Third Boot Device  
These fields determine the drive that the system searches first for an  
operating system. The options available include Floppy, LS120, Hard  
Disk, CDROM, ZIP100, USB-Floppy, USB-ZIP, USB-CDROM, LAN  
and Disable.  
Boot Other Device  
These fields allow the system to search for an OS from other devices  
other than the ones selected in the First/Second/Third Boot Device.  
Swap Floppy Drive  
This item allows you to determine whether or not to enable Swap Floppy  
Drive. When enabled, the BIOS swaps floppy drive assignments so that  
Drive A becomes Drive B, and Drive B becomes Drive A. By default,  
this field is set to Disabled.  
Boot Up Floppy Seek  
This feature controls whether the BIOS checks for a floppy drive while  
booting up. If it cannot detect one (either due to improper configuration  
or its absence), it will flash an error message.  
Boot Up NumLock Status  
This allows you to activate the NumLock function after you power up  
the system.  
Gate A20 Option  
This field allows you to select how Gate A20 is worked. Gate A20 is a  
device used to address memory above 1 MB.  
Typematic Rate Setting  
When disabled, continually holding down a key on your keyboard will  
generate only one instance. When enabled, you can set the two typematic  
controls listed next. By default, this field is set to Disabled.  
Typematic Rate (Chars/Sec)

BIOS SETUP  
Typematic Delay (Msec)  
When the typematic rate is enabled, this item allows you to set the time  
interval for displaying the first and second characters. By default, this  
item is set to 250msec.  
Security Option  
This field allows you to limit access to the System and Setup. The default  
value is Setup. When you select System, the system prompts for the User  
Password every time you boot up. When you select Setup, the system  
always boots up and prompts for the Supervisor Password only when the  
Setup utility is called up.  
APIC Mode  
APIC stands for Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller. The  
default setting is Enabled.  
MPS Version Control for OS  
This option is specifies the MPS (Multiprocessor Specification) version  
for your operating system. MPS version 1.4 added extended  
configuration tables to improve support for multiple PCI bus  
configurations and improve future expandability. The default setting is  
1.4.  
OS Select for DRAM > 64MB  
This option allows the system to access greater than 64MB of DRAM  
memory when used with OS/2 that depends on certain BIOS calls to  
access memory. The default setting is Non-OS/2.  
Report No FDD For WIN 95  
If you are using Windows 95/98 without a floppy disk drive, select  
Enabled to release IRQ6. This is required to pass Windows 95/98's SCT  
test. You should also disable the Onboard FDC Controller in the  
Integrated Peripherals screen when there's no floppy drive in the system.  
If you set this feature to Disabled, the BIOS will not report the missing  
floppy drive to Win95/98.  
Small Logo (EPA) Show  
The EPA logo appears at the right side of the monitor screen when the  
system is boot up. The default setting is Enabled.

You can configure CAS latency time in HCLKs as 2 or 2.5 or 3. The  
system board designer should set the values in this field, depending on  
the DRAM installed. Do not change the values in this field unless you  
change specifications of the installed DRAM or the installed CPU.  
DRAM RAS# to CAS# Delay  
This option allows you to insert a delay between the RAS (Row Address  
Strobe) and CAS (Column Address Strobe) signals. This delay occurs  
when the SDRAM is written to, read from or refreshed. Reducing the  
delay improves the performance of the SDRAM.

the system from such a mode. When an I/O device wants to gain the  
attention of the operating system, it signals this by causing an IRQ to  
occur. When the operating system is ready to respond to the request, it  
interrupts itself and performs the service.
