1. Introduction
1.1 Description
Taking advantages of Intel energy-efficient dual-core processing, ADE-9040 ATX Mother
Board adopts Intel®CoreTM 2 Duo Desktop processors up to 1066 MHz FSB and Intel®
Q965 Express chipset with Intel® ICH8R RAID function to fit the high performance computer
system applications for meeting today’s demanding pace and keep complete compatibility
with hardware and software designed. The onboard devices support one PCI Express x16
for an alternative graphics add-in card, one PCI Express x1, four PCI slots, integrated
graphics, and built dual Marvell 88E8053 Gigabit Ethernet controllers offering stable
high-speed networking.
ADE-9040 comes with the Intel®GMA 3000 graphics supporting DVMT 4.0 display memory
up to 256 MB for dual display function by VGA/DVI. The board also features two DIMMs up
to 4 GB SDRAM with dual channel DDR2 533/667/800, enhanced onboard one SATA to
Parallel ATA IDE interface supporting UltraATA 33/66/100 synchronous mode feature, four
Serial ATA high-speed data transferring at up to 3 GB/s, and 7.1 + 2 CH HDAC through
Realtek ALC883 audio codec. The onboard ITE IT8712F Super I/O chipset supports four
serial ports: one RS-232 serial port interfaces, two RS-232 and one RS-232/422/485 pin
headers, Hardware Monitor function, ten Hi-speed USB 2.0 ports, two 6-pin Mini-DIN
connectors for PS/2 mouse and keyboard, and one 24-pin standard connector designed to
support ATX power function. Besides, a feature of CPU overheat protection will provide
user more security and stability.
Built with these impressed functions, ADE-9040 ATX Mother Board are those ideal
solutions for DVR, KIOSK, medical equipment, industrial automation, financial automation,
process control, semiconductor equipment, and network security markets.

2. Hardware Configuration Setting
This chapter gives the definitions and shows the positions of jumpers, headers and
connectors. All of the configuration jumpers on ADE-9040 are in the proper position. The
default settings shipped from factory are marked with an asterisk ().
In general, jumpers on the ATX Main Board are used to select options for certain features.
Some of the jumpers are designed to be user-configurable, allowing for system
enhancement. The others are for testing purpose only and should not be altered. To select
any option, cover the jumper cap over (SHORT) or remove (NC) it from the jumper pins
according to the following instructions. Here, NC stands for “Not Connect”.

TDC0,TDC0# O DVI Data Channel 0 Output: These pins provide the DVI differential
output for data channel 0 (Blue).
TDC1,TDC1# O DVI Data Channel 1 Output: These pins provide the DVI differential
output for data channel 1 (Green).
TDC2,TDC2# O DVI Data Channel 2 Output: These pins provide the DVI differential
output for data channel 2 (Red).
HPDET I
Hot Plug Detect (internal pull-down): This input determines whether the
DVI is connected to a DVI monitor. When terminated\, the monitor is
required to apply a voltage greater than 2.4 volts. Changes on the status of
this pin will be relayed to the graphics controller via the P-OUT/TLDET* or
GPIO(1)/TLDET* pin pulling low.
DVIDATA I/O DVI I2C Data: This signal is used as the I2C DOC clock for a digital display
connector (i.e. TV-Out Encoder, TMDS transmitter ). This signal is
tri-stated during a hard reset.
DVICLK I/O DVI DOC Clock: This signal is used as the DOC clock for a digital display
connector (i.e. primary digital monitor). This signal is tri-stated during a
hard reset.
TLC,TLC# O DVI Clock Output: These pins provide the differential clock outputs to the
DVI interface corresponding a data on TDC(0:2) outputs.
2.3.23 Serial ATA 1/2/3/4 Connectors (SATA1,
SATA2, SATA3, SATA4)
These SATA connectors support SerialATA 300. Each
SATA connector can only support one serialATA device.
Note: With most storage devices, there is a power cable
that you need attach to a power source (power
supply).
