1.4 System Memory
The board has four DIMM sockets and support the following memory features:
• 1.8 V (only) DDR2 SDRAM DIMMs with gold-plated contacts
• Unbuffered, single-sided or double-sided DIMMs with the following restriction:
Double-sided DIMMS with x16 organization are not supported.
• 4 GB maximum total system memory. Refer to Section 2.1.1 on page 47 for information on the
total amount of addressable memory.
• Minimum total system memory: 128 MB
• Non-ECC DIMMs
• Serial Presence Detect
• DDR2 667 or DDR2 533 MHz SDRAM DIMMs
� NOTES
• Remove the PCI Express x16 video card before installing or upgrading memory to avoid
interference with the memory retention mechanism.
• To be fully compliant with all applicable DDR SDRAM memory specifications, the board
should be populated with DIMMs that support the Serial Presence Detect (SPD) data structure.
This allows the BIOS to read the SPD data and program the chipset to accurately configure
memory settings for optimum performance. If non-SPD memory is installed, the BIOS will
attempt to correctly configure the memory settings, but performance and reliability may be
impacted or the DIMMs may not function under the determined frequency.
Table 4 lists the supported DIMM configurations.

Product Description
1.4.1 Memory Configurations
The Intel 82945G GMCH supports two types of memory organization:
• Dual channel (Interleaved) mode. This mode offers the highest throughput for real world
applications. Dual channel mode is enabled when the installed memory capacities of both
DIMM channels are equal. Technology and device width can vary from one channel to the
other but the installed memory capacity for each channel must be equal. If different speed
DIMMs are used between channels, the slowest memory timing will be used.
• Single channel (Asymmetric) mode. This mode is equivalent to single channel bandwidth
operation for real world applications. This mode is used when only a single DIMM is installed
or the memory capacities are unequal. Technology and device width can vary from one
channel to the other. If different speed DIMMs are used between channels, the slowest
memory timing will be used.
Figure 3 illustrates the memory channel and DIMM configuration.

1.5.1.2 Dynamic Video Memory Technology (DVMT)
DVMT enables enhanced graphics and memory performance through Direct AGP, and highly
efficient memory utilization. DVMT ensures the most efficient use of available system memory for
maximum 2-D/3-D graphics performance. Up to 224 MB of system memory can be allocated to
DVMT on systems that have 512 MB or more of total system memory installed. Up to 128 MB can
be allocated to DVMT on systems that have 256 MB but less than 512 MB of total installed system
memory. Up to 64 MB can be allocated to DVMT when less than 256 MB of system memory is
installed. DVMT returns system memory back to the operating system when the additional system
memory is no longer required by the graphics subsystem.
DVMT will always use a minimal fixed portion of system physical memory (as set in the BIOS
Setup program) for compatibility with legacy applications. An example of this would be when
using VGA graphics under DOS. Once loaded, the operating system and graphics drivers allocate
additional system memory to the graphics buffer as needed for performing graphics functions.
NOTE
�
The use of DVMT requires operating system driver support.

Product Description
1.5.1.3 Advanced Digital Display (ADD2/ADD2+) Card Support
The GMCH routes two multiplexed DVO ports that are each capable of driving up to a 200 MHz
pixel clock to the PCI Express x16 connector. The DVO ports can be paired for a dual channel
configuration to support up to a 400 MHz pixel clock. When an ADD2/ADD2+ card is detected,
the Intel GMA950 graphics controller is enabled and the PCI Express x16 connector is configured
for DVO mode. DVO mode enables the DVO ports to be accessed by the ADD2/ADD2+ card. An
ADD2/ADD2+ card can either be configured to support simultaneous display with the primary
VGA display or can be configured to support dual independent display as an extended desktop
configuration with different color depths and resolutions. ADD2/ADD2+ cards can be designed to
support the following configurations:
• TV-Out (composite video)
• Transition Minimized Differential Signaling (TMDS) for DVI 1.0
• Low Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS)
• Single device operating in dual channel mode
• VGA output
• HDTV output
1.5.1.4 Configuration Modes
A list of supported modes for the Intel GMA950 graphics controller is available as a downloadable

Intel Desktop Board D945GPM Technical Product Specification
1.5.3 IDE Support
The board provides five IDE interface connectors:
• One parallel ATA IDE connector that supports two devices
• Four serial ATA IDE connectors that support one device per connector
1.5.3.1 Parallel ATE IDE Interface
The ICH7DH’s Parallel ATA IDE controller has one bus-mastering Parallel ATA IDE interface.
The Parallel ATA IDE interface supports the following modes:
• Programmed I/O (PIO): processor controls data transfer.
• 8237-style DMA: DMA offloads the processor, supporting transfer rates of up to 16 MB/sec.
• Ultra DMA: DMA protocol on IDE bus supporting host and target throttling and transfer rates
of up to 33 MB/sec.
• ATA-66: DMA protocol on IDE bus supporting host and target throttling and transfer rates of
up to 66 MB/sec. ATA-66 protocol is similar to Ultra DMA and is device driver compatible.
• ATA-100: DMA protocol on IDE bus allows host and target throttling. The ICH7DH’s
ATA-100 logic can achieve read transfer rates up to 100 MB/sec and write transfer rates up to
88 MB/sec.
� NOTE
ATA-66 and ATA-100 are faster timings and require a specialized cable to reduce reflections,
noise, and inductive coupling.
The Parallel ATA IDE interface also supports ATAPI devices (such as CD-ROM drives) and ATA
devices using the transfer modes.
The BIOS supports Logical Block Addressing (LBA) and Extended Cylinder Head Sector (ECHS)
translation modes. The drive reports the transfer rate and translation mode to the BIOS.
For information about Refer to
The location of the Parallel ATA IDE connector Figure 17, page 56
1.5.3.2 Serial ATA Interfaces
The ICH7DH’s Serial ATA controller offers four independent Serial ATA ports with a theoretical
maximum transfer rate of 3 Gbits/sec per port. One device can be installed on each port for a
maximum of four Serial ATA devices. A point-to-point interface is used for host to device
connections, unlike Parallel ATA IDE which supports a master/slave configuration and two devices
per channel.
For compatibility, the underlying Serial ATA functionality is transparent to the operating system.
The Serial ATA controller can operate in both legacy and native modes. In legacy mode, standard
IDE I/O and IRQ resources are assigned (IRQ 14 and 15). In Native mode, standard PCI
Conventional bus resource steering is used. Native mode is the preferred mode for configurations
using the Windows* XP and Windows 2000 operating systems.
24
Product Description
NOTE
�
Many Serial ATA drives use new low-voltage power connectors and require adaptors or power
supplies equipped with low-voltage power connectors.
For more information, see: http://www.serialata.org/
For information about Refer to
The location of the Serial ATA IDE connectors Figure 17, page 56
1.5.3.3 Serial ATA RAID
The ICH7DH supports the following RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Drives) levels:
• RAID 0 - data striping. Multiple physical drives can be teamed together to create one logical
drive. As data is written or retrieved from the logical drive, both drives operate in parallel, thus
increasing the throughput. The ICH7DH allows for more than two drives to be used in a
RAID 0 configuration.
• RAID 1 - data mirroring. Multiple physical drives maintain duplicate sets of all data on
separate disk drives. Level 1 provides the highest data reliability because two complete copies
of all information are maintained. The ICH7DH allows for two or four drives to be used in a
RAID 1 configuration.
• RAID 0+1 (or RAID 10) - data striping and mirroring. RAID 0+1 combines multiple mirrored
drives (RAID 1) with data striping (RAID 0) into a single array. This provides the highest
performance with data protection. Data is striped across all mirrored sets. RAID 0+1 utilizes
several drives to stripe data (increased performance) and then makes a copy of the striped
drives to provide redundancy. The mirrored disks eliminate the overhead and delay of parity.
• RAID 5 - distributed parity. RAID Level 5 stripes data at a block level across several drives
and distributes parity among the drives; no single disk is devoted to parity. Because parity data
is distributed on each drive, read performance tends to be lower than other RAID types.
RAID 5 requires the use of three or four drives.
1.5.4 Real-Time Clock, CMOS SRAM, and Battery
A coin-cell battery (CR2032) powers the real-time clock and CMOS memory. When the computer
is not plugged into a wall socket, the battery has an estimated life of three years. When the
computer is plugged in, the standby current from the power supply extends the life of the battery.
The clock is accurate to ± 13 minutes/year at 25 ºC with 3.3 VSB applied.
� NOTE
If the battery and AC power fail, custom defaults, if previously saved, will be loaded into CMOS
RAM at power-on.
When the voltage drops below a certain level, the BIOS Setup program settings stored in CMOS
RAM (for example, the date and time) might not be accurate. Replace the battery with an
equivalent one. Figure 1 on page 12 shows the location of the battery.

⎯ Intel Quick Resume Technology Drivers (Intel QRTD)
1.12.1 ACPI
ACPI gives the operating system direct control over the power management and Plug and Play
functions of a computer. The use of ACPI with this board requires an operating system that
provides full ACPI support. ACPI features include:
• Plug and Play (including bus and device enumeration)
• Power management control of individual devices, add-in boards (some add-in boards may
require an ACPI-aware driver), video displays, and hard disk drives
• Methods for achieving less than 15-watt system operation in the power-on/standby
sleeping state
• A Soft-off feature that enables the operating system to power-off the computer
• Support for multiple wake-up events (see Table 9 on page 41)
• Support for a front panel power and sleep mode switch
Table 7 lists the system states based on how long the power switch is pressed, depending on how
ACPI is configured with an ACPI-aware operating system.

Intel Desktop Board D945GPM Technical Product Specification
1.12.1.1 System States and Power States
Under ACPI, the operating system directs all system and device power state transitions. The
operating system puts devices in and out of low-power states based on user preferences and
knowledge of how devices are being used by applications. Devices that are not being used can be
turned off. The operating system uses information from applications and user settings to put the
system as a whole into a low-power state.
Table 8 lists the power states supported by the board along with the associated system power
targets. See the ACPI specification for a complete description of the various system and power
states.

Notes:
1. Total system power is dependent on the system configuration, including add-in boards and peripherals powered
by the system chassis’ power supply.
2. Dependent on the standby power consumption of wake-up devices used in the system.
1.12.1.2 One-Watt Standby
In 2001, the U.S. government issued an executive order requiring a reduction in power for
appliances and personal computers. This board meets that requirement by operating at 1 W (or
less) in S5 (Standby) mode. One-Watt operation applies only to the S5 state when the computer is
turned off, but still connected to AC power. One-Watt operation does not apply to the S3 (Suspend
to RAM) or S4 (Suspend to disk) states.
Newer energy-efficient power supplies using less than 0.5 W (in Standby mode) may also be
needed to achieve this goal.

Note: For LAN and PME# signal, S5 is disabled by default in the BIOS Setup program. Setting this option to Power On
will enable a wake-up event from LAN in the S5 state.
NOTE
�
The use of these wake-up events from an ACPI state requires an operating system that provides full
ACPI support. In addition, software, drivers, and peripherals must fully support ACPI wake
events.
1.12.2 Hardware Support
CAUTION
Ensure that the power supply provides adequate +5 V standby current if LAN wake capabilities and
Instantly Available PC technology features are used. Failure to do so can damage the power
supply. The total amount of standby current required depends on the wake devices supported and
manufacturing options.
The board provides several power management hardware features, including:
• Power connector
• Fan connectors
• LAN wake capabilities
• Instantly Available PC technology
• Resume on Ring
• Wake from USB
• Wake from PS/2 keyboard
• PME# signal wake-up support
• WAKE# signal wake-up support
• Intel Quick Resume Technology Drivers (Intel QRTD)
LAN wake capabilities and Instantly Available PC technology require power from the
+5 V standby line.
41
Intel Desktop Board D945GPM Technical Product Specification
Resume on Ring enables telephony devices to access the computer when it is in a power-managed
state. The method used depends on the type of telephony device (external or internal).
NOTE
�
The use of Resume on Ring and Wake from USB technologies from an ACPI state requires an
operating system that provides full ACPI support.
1.12.2.1 Power Connector
ATX12V-compliant power supplies can turn off the system power through system control. When
an ACPI-enabled system receives the correct command, the power supply removes all non-standby
voltages.
When resuming from an AC power failure, the computer returns to the power state it was in before
power was interrupted (on or off). The computer’s response can be set using the Last Power State
feature in the BIOS Setup program’s Boot menu.
For information about Refer to
The location of the main power connector Figure 17, page 56
The signal names of the main power connector Table 23, page 59
1.12.2.2 Fan Connectors
The function/operation of the fan connectors is as follows:
• The fans are on when the board is in the S0 or S1 state.
• The fans are off when the board is off or in the S3, S4, or S5 state.
• Each fan connector is wired to a fan tachometer input of the hardware monitoring and fan
control ASIC.
• All fan connectors support closed-loop fan control that can adjust the fan speed or switch the
fan on or off as needed.
• All fan connectors have a +12 V DC connection.

Product Description
1.12.2.3 LAN Wake Capabilities
CAUTION
For LAN wake capabilities, the +5 V standby line for the power supply must be capable of
providing adequate +5 V standby current. Failure to provide adequate standby current when
implementing LAN wake capabilities can damage the power supply.
LAN wake capabilities enable remote wake-up of the computer through a network. The LAN
network adapter monitors network traffic at the Media Independent Interface. Upon detecting a
Magic Packet* frame, the LAN subsystem asserts a wake-up signal that powers up the computer.
Depending on the LAN implementation, the board supports LAN wake capabilities with ACPI in
the following ways:
• The PCI Express WAKE# signal
• The PCI Conventional bus PME# signal for PCI 2.3 compliant LAN designs
• The onboard LAN subsystem
1.12.2.4 Instantly Available PC Technology
CAUTION
For Instantly Available PC technology, the +5 V standby line for the power supply must be capable
of providing adequate +5 V standby current. Failure to provide adequate standby current when
implementing Instantly Available PC technology can damage the power supply.
Instantly Available PC technology enables the board to enter the ACPI S3 (Suspend-to-RAM)
sleep-state. While in the S3 sleep-state, the computer will appear to be off (the power supply is off,
and the front panel LED is amber if dual colored, or off if single colored.) When signaled by a
wake-up device or event, the system quickly returns to its last known wake state. Table 9 on
page 41 lists the devices and events that can wake the computer from the S3 state.
The board supports the PCI Bus Power Management Interface Specification. Add-in boards that
also support this specification can participate in power management and can be used to wake the
computer.
The use of Instantly Available PC technology requires operating system support and PCI 2.3
compliant add-in cards, PCI Express add-in cards, and drivers.
® ®
1.12.2.5 Intel Quick Resume Technology Drivers (Intel QRTD)
The Intel Quick Resume Technology Drivers (Intel QRTD) manage the on and off functions for
®
™
Intel Viiv platforms and have the following features:
• Instantly turns the Intel Viiv platform off by pressing the power button on the PC or remote
control.
• Instantly turns the Intel Viiv platform on by moving the mouse, pressing a key on the keyboard,
or pressing the on/off button on the remote control or computer.
• In the Intel QRTD off state, the:
⎯ Video output stops sending data to the display
⎯ Audio is muted
43
Intel Desktop Board D945GPM Technical Product Specification
⎯ Power continues to the vital components on the system (CPU, memory, and fans, for
example).
• The Intel QRTD off state allows tasks that do not require user input to continue in the
background.
• Works with the Microsoft Away mode to offer a complete power management offering for
ACPI and system standby and hibernate.
• Target resume time is zero to five seconds (about equal to the time it takes for the display to
warm up).
CAUTION
Do not open the computer chassis when it is in the Intel QRTD off state. Opening the chassis in
this state can cause hardware damage.
1.12.2.6 Resume on Ring
The operation of Resume on Ring can be summarized as follows:
• Resumes operation from ACPI S1 or S3 states
• Detects incoming call similarly for external and internal modems
• Requires modem interrupt be unmasked for correct operation
1.12.2.7 Wake from USB
USB bus activity wakes the computer from ACPI S1 or S3 states.
NOTE
�
Wake from USB requires the use of a USB peripheral that supports Wake from USB.
1.12.2.8 Wake from PS/2 Devices
PS/2 device activity wakes the computer from an ACPI S1 or S3 state.
1.12.2.9 PME# Signal Wake-up Support
When the PME# signal on the PCI Conventional bus is asserted, the computer wakes from an ACPI
S1, S3, S4, or S5 state (with Wake on PME enabled in BIOS).
1.12.2.10 WAKE# Signal Wake-up Support
When the WAKE# signal on the PCI Express bus is asserted, the computer wakes from an ACPI
S1, S3, S4, or S5 state.

1.13 Trusted Platform Module (Optional)
The optional Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is a component on the desktop board that is
specifically designed to enhance platform security above-and-beyond the capabilities of today’s
software by providing a protected space for key operations and other security critical tasks. Using
both hardware and software, the TPM protects encryption and signature keys at their most
vulnerable stages—operations when the keys are being used unencrypted in plain-text form. The
TPM is specifically designed to shield unencrypted keys and platform authentication information
from software-based attacks.

2.1 Memory Resources
2.1.1 Addressable Memory
The board utilizes 4 GB of addressable system memory. Typically the address space that is
allocated for PCI Conventional bus add-in cards, PCI Express configuration space, BIOS (SPI
Flash), and chipset overhead resides above the top of DRAM (total system memory). On a system
that has 4 GB of system memory installed, it is not possible to use all of the installed memory due
to system address space being allocated for other system critical functions. These functions include
the following:
• BIOS/ SPI Flash (2 MB)
• Local APIC (19 MB)
• Digital Media Interface (40 MB)
• Front side bus interrupts (17 MB)
• PCI Express configuration space (256 MB)
• MCH base address registers, internal graphics ranges, PCI Express ports (up to 512 MB)
• Memory-mapped I/O that is dynamically allocated for PCI Conventional and PCI Express add-
in cards
47
Intel Desktop Board D945GPM Technical Product Specification
The amount of installed memory that can be used will vary based on add-in cards and BIOS
settings. Figure 15 shows a schematic of the system memory map. All installed system memory
can be used when there is no overlap of system addresses.

2.6 PCI Conventional Interrupt Routing Map
This section describes interrupt sharing and how the interrupt signals are connected between the
PCI Conventional bus connectors and onboard PCI Conventional devices. The PCI Conventional
specification describes how interrupts can be shared between devices attached to the PCI
Conventional bus. In most cases, the small amount of latency added by interrupt sharing does not
affect the operation or throughput of the devices. In some special cases where maximum
performance is needed from a device, a PCI Conventional device should not share an interrupt with
other PCI Conventional devices. Use the following information to avoid sharing an interrupt with a
PCI Conventional add-in card.
PCI Conventional devices are categorized as follows to specify their interrupt grouping:
• INTA: By default, all add-in cards that require only one interrupt are in this category. For
almost all cards that require more than one interrupt, the first interrupt on the card is also
classified as INTA.
• INTB: Generally, the second interrupt on add-in cards that require two or more interrupts is
classified as INTB. (This is not an absolute requirement.)
• INTC and INTD: Generally, a third interrupt on add-in cards is classified as INTC and a fourth
interrupt is classified as INTD.
The ICH7DH has eight Programmable Interrupt Request (PIRQ) input signals. All PCI
Conventional interrupt sources either onboard or from a PCI Conventional add-in card connect to
one of these PIRQ signals. Some PCI Conventional interrupt sources are electrically tied together
on the board and therefore share the same interrupt. Table 15 shows an example of how the
PIRQ signals are routed.

IEEE-1394a controller INTA
PCI bus connector 1 INTD INTA INTB INTC
PCI bus connector 2 INTC INTB INTA INTD
ICH7DH LAN INTA
NOTE
�
In PIC mode, the ICH7DH can connect each PIRQ line internally to one of the IRQ signals (3, 4, 5,
6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, and 15). Typically, a device that does not share a PIRQ line will have a
unique interrupt. However, in certain interrupt-constrained situations, it is possible for two or
more of the PIRQ lines to be connected to the same IRQ signal. Refer to Table 14 for the
allocation of PIRQ lines to IRQ signals in APIC mode.
PCI interrupt assignments to the USB ports, Serial ATA ports, and PCI Express ports are dynamic.

2.7 Connectors
CAUTION
Only the following connectors have overcurrent protection: back panel USB, front panel USB, and
PS/2.
The other internal connectors are not overcurrent protected and should connect only to devices
inside the computer’s chassis, such as fans and internal peripherals. Do not use these connectors
to power devices external to the computer’s chassis. A fault in the load presented by the external
devices could cause damage to the computer, the power cable, and the external devices themselves.
This section describes the board’s connectors. The connectors can be divided into these groups:
• Back panel I/O connectors
• Component-side I/O connectors (see page 54)

2.7.2.1 Power Supply Connectors
The board has power supply connectors:
• Main power – a 2 x 12 connector. This connector is compatible with 2 x 10 connectors
previously used on Intel Desktop boards. The board supports the use of ATX12V power
supplies with either 2 x 10 or 2 x 12 main power cables. When using a power supply with a
2 x 10 main power cable, attach that cable on the rightmost pins of the main power connector,
leaving pins 11, 12, 23, and 24 unconnected.
• ATX12V power – a 2 x 2 connector. This connector provides power directly to the processor
voltage regulator and must always be used. Failure to do so will prevent the board from
booting.
INTEGRATOR’S NOTE
#
When using high wattage PCI Express x16 graphics cards, use a power supply with a 2 x 12 main
power cable. The 2 x 12 main power cable can provide up to 144 W of power from the +12 V rail.

2.7.2.2 Add-in Card Connectors
The board has the following add-in card connectors:
• PCI Express x16: one connector supporting simultaneous transfer speeds up to 8 GBytes/sec.
• PCI Express x1: one PCI Express x1 connector. The x1 interface supports simultaneous
transfer speeds up to 500 MBytes/sec.
• PCI Conventional (rev 2.3 compliant) bus: two PCI Conventional bus add-in card connectors.
The SMBus is routed to PCI Conventional bus connector 2 only (ATX expansion slot 6). PCI
Conventional bus add-in cards with SMBus support can access sensor data and other
information residing on the board.
Note the following considerations for the PCI Conventional bus connectors:
• All of the PCI Conventional bus connectors are bus master capable.
• SMBus signals are routed to PCI Conventional bus connector 2. This enables PCI
Conventional bus add-in boards with SMBus support to access sensor data on the boards. The
specific SMBus signals are as follows:
⎯ The SMBus clock line is connected to pin A40.
⎯ The SMBus data line is connected to pin A41.

2.10 Electrical Considerations
2.10.1 DC Loading
Table 30 lists the DC loading characteristics of the boards. This data is based on a DC analysis of
all active components within the board that impact its power delivery subsystems. The analysis
does not include PCI add-in cards. Minimum values assume a light load placed on the board that is
similar to an environment with no applications running and no USB current draw. Maximum
values assume a load placed on the board that is similar to a heavy gaming environment with a
500 mA current draw per USB port. These calculations are not based on specific processor values
or memory configurations but are based on the minimum and maximum current draw possible from
the board’s power delivery subsystems to the processor, memory, and USB ports.
Use the datasheets for add-in cards, such as PCI, to determine the overall system power
requirements. The selection of a power supply at the system level is dependent on the system’s
usage model and not necessarily tied to a particular processor speed.
Table 30. DC Loading Characteristics
DC Current at:
Mode DC Power +3.3 V +5 V +12 V -12 V +5 VSB
Minimum loading 275 W 3.5 A 12 A 17 A 0 A 0.34 A (S0)
1.00 A (S3)
Maximum loading 500 W 16 A 23 A 29 A 0.20 A 0.34 A (S0)
1.10 A (S3)
2.10.2 Add-in Board Considerations
The boards are designed to provide 2 A (average) of +5 V current for each add-in board. The total
+5 V current draw for both boards is as follows: a fully loaded D945GPM board (all three
expansion slots and the PCI Express x16 slot filled) must not exceed 8 A.
68
Technical Reference
2.10.3 Fan Connector Current Capability
CAUTION
The processor fan must be connected to the processor fan connector, not to a chassis fan
connector. Connecting the processor fan to a chassis fan connector may result in onboard
component damage that will halt fan operation.
Table 31 lists the current capability of the fan connectors.
Table 31. Fan Connector Current Capability
Fan Connector Maximum Available Current
Processor fan 3.0 A
Front chassis fan 1.5 A
Rear chassis fan 1.5 A
2.10.4 Power Supply Considerations
CAUTION
The +5 V standby line for the power supply must be capable of providing adequate +5 V standby
current. Failure to do so can damage the power supply. The total amount of standby current
required depends on the wake devices supported and manufacturing options.
System integrators should refer to the power usage values listed in Table 30 when selecting a power
supply for use with the board.
Additional power required will depend on configurations chosen by the integrator.
The power supply must comply with the following recommendations found in the indicated
sections of the ATX form factor specification.
• The potential relation between 3.3 VDC and +5 VDC power rails (Section 4.2)
• The current capability of the +5 VSB line (Section 4.2.1.2)
• All timing parameters (Section 4.2.1.3)
• All voltage tolerances (Section 4.2.2)
69
Intel Desktop Board D945GPM Technical Product Specification
2.11 Thermal Considerations
CAUTION
o
A chassis with a maximum internal ambient temperature of 38 C at the processor fan inlet is a
requirement. Use a processor heatsink that provides omni-directional airflow (similar to the type
shown in Figure 25) to maintain required airflow across the processor voltage regulator area.
OM16996
Figure 25. Processor Heatsink for Omni-directional Airflow
CAUTION
Failure to ensure appropriate airflow may result in reduced performance of both the processor
and/or voltage regulator or, in some instances, damage to the board. For a list of chassis that have
been tested with Intel desktop boards please refer to the following website:
http://developer.intel.com/design/motherbd/cooling.htm
All responsibility for determining the adequacy of any thermal or system design remains solely with
the reader. Intel makes no warranties or representations that merely following the instructions
presented in this document will result in a system with adequate thermal performance.
CAUTION
Ensure that the ambient temperature does not exceed the board’s maximum operating temperature.
Failure to do so could cause components to exceed their maximum case temperature and
malfunction. For information about the maximum operating temperature, see the environmental
specifications in Section 2.13.
70
Technical Reference
CAUTION
Ensure that proper airflow is maintained in the processor voltage regulator circuit. Failure to do
so may result in damage to the voltage regulator circuit. The processor voltage regulator area
o
(item A in Figure 26) can reach a temperature of up to 85 C in an open chassis.

2.12 Reliability
The Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) prediction is calculated using component and
subassembly random failure rates. The calculation is based on the Bellcore Reliability Prediction
Procedure, TR-NWT-000332, Issue 4, September 1991. The MTBF prediction is used to estimate
repair rates and spare parts requirements.
The MTBF data is calculated from predicted data at 55 ºC. The MTBF for the D945GPM board is

3.1 Introduction
The boards use an Intel BIOS that is stored in the Serial Peripheral Interface Flash Memory (SPI
Flash) and can be updated using a disk-based program. The SPI Flash contains the BIOS Setup
program, POST, the PCI auto-configuration utility, and Plug and Play support.
The BIOS displays a message during POST identifying the type of BIOS and a revision code. The
initial production BIOSs are identified as NT94510J.86A.
When the BIOS Setup configuration jumper is set to configure mode and the computer is powered-
up, the BIOS compares the CPU version and the microcode version in the BIOS and reports if the
two match.
The BIOS Setup program can be used to view and change the BIOS settings for the computer. The
BIOS Setup program is accessed by pressing the

What they say about us
FANTASTIC RESOURCE
One of our top priorities is maintaining our business with precision, and we are constantly looking for affiliates that can help us achieve our goal. With the aid of GID Industrial, our obsolete product management has never been more efficient. They have been a great resource to our company, and have quickly become a go-to supplier on our list!
Bucher Emhart Glass
EXCELLENT SERVICE
With our strict fundamentals and high expectations, we were surprised when we came across GID Industrial and their competitive pricing. When we approached them with our issue, they were incredibly confident in being able to provide us with a seamless solution at the best price for us. GID Industrial quickly understood our needs and provided us with excellent service, as well as fully tested product to ensure what we received would be the right fit for our company.
Fuji
HARD TO FIND A BETTER PROVIDER
Our company provides services to aid in the manufacture of technological products, such as semiconductors and flat panel displays, and often searching for distributors of obsolete product we require can waste time and money. Finding GID Industrial proved to be a great asset to our company, with cost effective solutions and superior knowledge on all of their materials, it’d be hard to find a better provider of obsolete or hard to find products.
Applied Materials
CONSISTENTLY DELIVERS QUALITY SOLUTIONS
Over the years, the equipment used in our company becomes discontinued, but they’re still of great use to us and our customers. Once these products are no longer available through the manufacturer, finding a reliable, quick supplier is a necessity, and luckily for us, GID Industrial has provided the most trustworthy, quality solutions to our obsolete component needs.
Nidec Vamco
TERRIFIC RESOURCE
This company has been a terrific help to us (I work for Trican Well Service) in sourcing the Micron Ram Memory we needed for our Siemens computers. Great service! And great pricing! I know when the product is shipping and when it will arrive, all the way through the ordering process.
Trican Well Service
GO TO SOURCE
When I can't find an obsolete part, I first call GID and they'll come up with my parts every time. Great customer service and follow up as well. Scott emails me from time to time to touch base and see if we're having trouble finding something.....which is often with our 25 yr old equipment.
