Getting Started
20 316704-001 / Development Kit User’s Manual
Other Devices and Adapters: The development board functions much like a
standard desktop computer motherboard. Most PC-compatible peripherals can be
attached and configured to work with the development board.
2.5 Setting Up the Development Board Once the necessary hardware (described in Section 2.4) has been gathered, follow the
steps below to set up the development board.
Note: To locate items discussed in the procedure below, please refer to Chapter 4.
1. Create a safe work environment.
Ensure a static-free work environment before removing any components from
their anti-static packaging. The development board is susceptible to
electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage, and such damage may cause product
failure or unpredictable operation. A flame retardant work surface must also
be used.
Caution: It is recommended that an ESD wrist strap be used when handling the
development board.
2. Inspect the contents of your kit.
Check for damage that may have occurred during shipment. Contact your
sales representative if any items are missing or damaged.
Caution: Since the development board is not in a protective chassis, use caution
when connecting cables to this product.
Caution: Standby voltage is constantly applied to the development board. Remove
power before any hardware (peripherals, keyboards, mice, monitors,
accessories, add-in cards, etc) is added or removed from the board.
Note: The development board is a standard ATX form factor. An ATX chassis may
be used if a protected environment is desired. If a chassis is not used,
standoffs must be used to elevate the development board off the working
surface to protect the memory and board components from any
accidental contact to metal objects.
3. Check the jumper default position setting. Refer to Figure 7 for jumper location.
Jumper J5H2 is used to clear the CMOS memory. Make sure this jumper is set to
1-x for normal operation.
4. Be sure to populate the following hardware on your development board:
• One Intel® CoreTM 2 Duo processor
• One processor thermal solution
• One 256 MByte DDR2 667 SODIMM (200-pin) into connector J5P1.
