Chapter1 <Introduction>

1.1 <Product Overview>

2804040 is the motherboard with last Intel desktop technology with Mini-ITX form factor. Based on Intel® 945G and ICH7R, the board integrates a new Pentium 4 processor 775-pin socket, DDR2 memory socket, Intel® Graphic Media Accelerator 950 technology, PCI express interface and Serial ATA II with RAID function for a powerful desktop system.

Intel® LGA775 processor

The Intel® Pentium 4 processor now comes with a new form factor with 775-pin PLGA package, for 533/800/1066MHz front-side-bus, 1MB L2 cache, and for 90nm manufacturing technology, the PLGA processor without pin header on solder side can make user installing the processor on the socket easier.

Intel® 945G and ICH7R chipset

The Intel 945G integrates DDR2 400/533/667MHz for memory, and Graphic Media Accelerator (GMA) 950 technology for new graphic engine. It can provide up to 224MB of frame buffer when you install over 256MB of system memory. The ICH7R integrates with up to 4 USB2.0 interfaces (4 ports for 2804040), and serial ATA II interface with RAID function.

Four Marvell E8053

Four Gigabit LAN with Marvell E8053, 2804040 comes with a powerful network function for the system that requires large transfer data of NAS system or Server platform.

PCI-Express interface

2804040 integrates a x16 PCI-Express interface, it can provide up to 8GB/s of bandwidth, which AGP 8x can only provide up to 2GB/s.

Multimedia interfaces

2804040 also integrates 7.1 channel AC97 audio, mini-PCI interface and IEEE1394 port, for these flexible function, system integrator can built more powerful systems for many applications.
