6•Introduction
1.3.1 Intel Pentium 4 Processor
The NuPRO-842 is a full-sized single board computer (SBC) that supports a
single mPGA478 Intel® Pentium® 4 processor or a 478-pin Micro Flip-Chip
Pin Grid Array (Micro-FCPGA) Mobile Intel® Pentium® 4 Processor – M.
The Pentium 4 processor runs at a core speed of up to 3.06GHz and the
Mobile Intel® Pentium® 4 Processor – M runs at a core speed of up to 2.4Ghz.
The 845GV chipset keeps the FSB operation at 400/533 MHz (auto-selected).
Intel Pentium 4 Processor and Mobile Intel Pentium 4 Processor-M have an
on-die 512kB L2 Advanced Transfer Cache (ATC). The on-die cache has a
256-bit data bus from the processor core.
The design for using Pentium 4 processor required an upgraded Voltage
Regulator Module circuit implementation (VRM 9.0) to handle tighter voltage
tolerances.
1.3.2 The Intel® 845GV Graphics Chipset Memory Controller
Hub (GMCH)
The central hub for all data passing through core system elements is through
the Intel 845GV Graphics Chipset Memory Controller Hub. To balance the
performance offered by the processor and memory interfaces, the GMCH
allows several high-bandwidth I/O configuration options. This chipset delivers
balanced, high-throughput system performance for dual processor server
platforms.
1.3.3 The Intel® 82801DB I/O Controller Hub 4 (ICH4)
Connection to the MCH is done through a point-to-point Hub Interface 1.5
connection. The ICH4 provides legacy I/O interfaces through integrated
features including a two-channel Ultra ATA/100 bus master IDE controller and
an USB controller for two USB ports. The ICH4 also offers an integrated
System Manageability Bus 2.0 (SMBus 2.0) controller, as well as a PCI
2.2-compliant interface.
1.3.4 Watchdog Timer
The watchdog timer optionally monitors system operations. It can be
programmed for different timeout periods (from 1 to 255 seconds or 1 to 255
minutes). The watchdog is capable generating a Reset signal. Failure to strobe
the watchdog timer within the programmed time period may result in a reset
request. A register bit can be enabled to indicate if the watchdog timer caused
the reset event. This watchdog timer register is cleared on power-up, enabling
system software to take appropriate action if the watchdog generated the
reboot.

Introduction •7
1.3.5 Video
The NuPRO-842 provides two display ports. One analog port is output on rear
IO panel. The analog port uses an integrated 350 MHz RAMDAC of the 845GV
GMCH that can directly drive a standard progressive scan monitor up to a
resolution of 2048x1536 pixels with 32-bit color at 60 Hz. The NuPRO-842 has
a high-speed interface to a digital display use daughter board DB-842DVI. The
Intel 845GV chipset implements Dynamic Video Memory Technology (DVMT)
to ensure the most efficient use of system memory, allowing up to 64MB of
system memory to be shared among OS, applications, and graphics display.
1.3.6 Ethernet Interfaces
The NuPRO-842 provides two 10/100/1000Mbps Ethernet ports supplied via
an Intel 82540EM chip, which are connected to the 82801DB. Each Ethernet
interface is routed to an RJ45/LED all in one Connector on the rear panel. Each
LAN chip will be assigned a unique static MAC Address. LED drive signals for
Ethernet link status and activity are routed to the same connector. The
onboard Ethernet is Wired For Management 2.0 compliance. This port is
available on the real panel.
1.3.7 Serial I/O
Two serial ports are supported by the NuPRO-842. The EIA232 drivers and
receivers reside on board. COM1 and COM2 are available as a 10-pin header
on the motherboard. Both ports will be configured as DTE. Firmware will
initialize the two serial ports as COM1 and COM2 with ISA I/O base addresses
of 3F8h and 2F8h respectively. This default configuration also assigns COM1
to IRQ4 and COM2 to IRQ3. The NuPRO-842 serial controller resides in the
W83627HF Super I/O device.
1.3.8 IEEE-1284 Parallel Port/Printer Interface
The parallel I/O interface signals are routed to a 26-pin connector on the board.
This port supports the full IEEE-1284 specifications and provides the basic
printer interface.
Firmware will initialize the parallel port as LPT1 with ISA I/O base address of
378h. This default configuration also assigns the parallel port to IRQ7. The
printer interface mode (Normal, Extended, EPP, or ECP) is selectable through
the BIOS SETUP utility with the W83627HF Super I/O device managing the
NuPRO-842’s parallel port.
1.3.9 Universal Serial Bus (USB)
NuPRO-842 supports 6 USB2.0 serial ports backward compatible to
USB1.x.One USB port is on the faceplate and others with pin header. USB
allows for the easyaddition of peripherals such as mouse, keyboard, speakers,
etc. Transfer rates up to 480Mb/s are supported. Full-speed connections

8•Introduction
(480Mb/s) require shielded and tested cables. NuPRO-842 will provide the
standard 0.5A at 5V to the peripherals.
1.3.10 IDE Controller and Floppy Interface Controller
The NuPRO-842 includes an IDE Controller (in the ICH4) and a Floppy Disk
Controller (in the W83627HF). The IDE Controller provides support for internal
or external IDE drives. Signals are available at the IDE connectors CN14 and
CN13 and are routed to a 40-pin header. The FDD Controller provides support
for an external FDD drives. Signals are available at the FDD connector CN12
and are routed to a 34-pin header.
1.3.11 Keyboard/Mouse Controller
The NuPRO-842 includes an onboard PC/AT keyboard and mouse controller.
The keyboard/mouse signals are available through the PS/2 circular DIN on
the panel. Both the keyboard and mouse can be connected at the same time
using ADLINK’s Y cable. An extra pin header connector is available for
connection of an external keyboard. The NuPRO-842 keyboard/mouse
controller resides in the Winbond W83627HF Super I/O device
1.3.12 Software
The NuPRO-842 is compatible with all major PC operating systems. ADLINK
provides support for many popular operating systems, including additional
drivers for ADLINK peripherals. Software device drivers for the NuPRO-842
may be found on the ADLINK CD.
