Introduction
Product Description
The VTC820 Pentium 4 Full Size PICMG CPU Card incorporates the Intel®
advanced 845G Chipset Memory Controller hub and supports 478-pin
Intel Pentium 4 processors of 1.3GHz and up to 2.6GHz+ with FSB
533MHz/400MHz. VTC820 supports the Pentium 4 processor with 256-KB
L2 cache and the Pentium 4 processor with 512-KB L2 cache on 0.13
micron process.
The I/O functions are on VTC820 integrated onto the ICH4. It supports
either the integrated graphics device (IGD) on the GMCH or an external
graphics device on AGP. The IGD has 3D, 2D, and video capabilities. The
system memory size can be up to 2 GB, using the two DDR sockets on
board. Six USB ports are supported with the USB 1.1/2.0 standard.
VTC820 optionally supports the ATI Mobility M7 graphics controller with
16MBor32MBembeddedmemory.InterfacesupportedareLVDS,TMDS
anddualCRT.TheVGAfunctionalityoffersunprecedentedvideoquality
and integratedMPEG-2decodecapability. VTC820 also optionally comes
with an Intel 82540 Gigabit LAN controller for faster networking access.
VTC820 supports a MicroPCI socketfor MicroPCIdaughtercardswithVGA,
VGA/LAN, Ethernet (LAN), SCSI, and IEEE 1394 functions.
This CPU card represents the perfect choice for those who want superior
performance for rugged and demanding applications in industrial
automation, image processing, multimedia and telecommunications.

Installing the CPU
The VTC820 CPU Card supports a Socket 478 processor socket for Intel
Pentium 4 processors.
The Socket 478 processor socket comes with a lever to secure the
processor.Raisethislevertoabouta90°angletoallowtheinsertionofthe
processor. Place the processor into the socket by making sure the notch
on the corner of the CPU corresponds with the notch on the inside of the
socket. Once the processor has slide into the socket, return the lever to
the lock position. Refer to the figures below.
After you have installed the processor into the socket, check if the
jumpers for the CPU type and speed are correct.
NOTE:Ensure that the CPU heat sink and the CPU top surface are in total
contact to avoid CPU overheating problem that would cause your
system to hang or be unstable.

VTC820 User’s Manual 7
ATX Power Installation
The system power is provided to the VTC820 CPU card with the J1 and J8
ATX power connectors. Please note that the J8 external ATX power
connector should be connected to thebackplane for VTC820 to function. J8
is a 3-pin power connector. J1 is a 4-pin 12V power connector. J1 is to be
connected to the ATX power supply.
MicroPCI Daughter Card Installation
To insert the MicroPCI daughter cards, position it at 30°to the PCB and
gentlypush it intotheMicroPCI connector (SeeFigure1 below). Thecard
will not fit when inserted at an angle of 45°or 15°. Once inserted, slowly
press the card towards the PCB until it locks on both sides to the clips of
the connector. Screw the card to the PCB to secure the installation. To
remove the MicroPCI card, pull the‘clips’sidewaysasshowninFigure2

Installing the Memory
The VTC820 CPU Card supports two DDR memory sockets for a maximum
totalmemoryof 2GB inDDRmemorytype. The memory modulecapacities
supported are 64MB, 128MB, 256MB, 512MB and 1GB. The following
table lists the supported SDR DIMM configurations. Intel 845G supports
configurations defined in the JEDEC DDR DIMM specification only
(A,B,C). Non-JEDEC standard DIMMs such as double-sided x16 DDR
SDRAM DIMMs are not supported.

Installing and Removing Memory Modules
To install the DDR modules, locate the memory slot on the CPU card and
perform the following steps:
1. Hold the DDR module so that the key of the DDR module align with
those on the memory slot.
2. GentlypushtheDDRmoduleinanuprightpositionuntiltheclipsofthe
