1.1 Introduction
The EMB-945T Rev.A adopts the latest Intel®Core™ Duo
processor and Mobile Intel®945GME+ICH7M chipset for better
power-management capabilities and enhanced performance.
EMB-945T Rev.A with mobile-optimized Intel dual-core
processors is the latest embedded motherboard designed to
cope with increasingly heavily work-loaded embedded systems
found in POS (Point-of-Sale) machines, automated kiosks,
medical instruments, advanced automation for buildings and
homes, and gaming machines.
The EMB-945T Rev.A features one PCI slot, one PCI-E slot,
one Mini-PCI slot, six COM ports, six USB 2.0 ports, multiple
Digital I/O ports, and Type II CFD storage, providing versatile
expansion options for many embedded applications.
The EMB-945T Rev.A not only keeps the advantages of
AAEON’s previous embedded motherboard designs, such as
the DDRII memory,PCI-Express, and SATA, but also adds
more functionality and improved performance. The Front Side
Bus is up to 667MHz and graphic performance has been
enhanced from 20 to 30%.

2.1 Safety Precautions
Always completely disconnect the power cord
from your board whenever you are working on
it. Do not make connections while the power is
on, because a sudden rush of power can
damage sensitive electronic components.
Always ground yourself to remove any static
charge before touching the board. Modern
electronic devices are very sensitive to static
electric charges. Use a grounding wrist strap at
all times. Place all electronic components on a
static-dissipative surface or in a static-shielded
bag when they are not in the chassis
