8 V7768/V7769 Hardware Reference Manual
Overview
GE’s V7768/V7769* are single board computers (SBCs) in a dual-slot, passively
cooled, VME Eurocard form factor.
The V7768* is a full featured Intel
®
CoreTM 2 Duo or Celeron
®
M-based SBC, and
the V7769* is a full featured Intel Core 2 Duo-based SBC. The V7768/V7769 utilize
the advanced technology of Intel’s 945GM chipset and the ICH7-M I/O Controller
Hub. The 945GM chipset runs on a 533 MHz front-side bus with the Celeron M
processor and a 667 MHz front-side bus with the Core 2 Duo processor.
The V7768/V7769 are compliant with the VMEbus Specification VITA 1-1994 and
feature a transparent PCI-to-VME bridge, allowing your board to function as a
system controller or peripheral CPU in multi-CPU systems.
The V7768 is a single-slot board, and the V7769 is a dual-slot board. The V7769
has the same functionality as the V7768 and also connects to the ACC-0623*
(which will be referred to as the mezzanine board throughout this manual),
making it a dual-slot board. Because the functionality is so similar, this manual
will refer to both boards (V7768/V7769) throughout unless the material is
referring to the V7768 or V7769 only.

Overview 9
Desktop Features of the V7768/V7769
• Up to 2.0 GByte DDR2 SDRAM (One SODIMM)
• SVGA port (front I/O)
• Dual Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) (front I/O)
• One RS232/422 COM port (front I/O)
• One RS232/422 COM support (rear I/O)
• Two USB 2.0 ports (front I/O)
• Four USB 2.0 support (rear I/O)
• Supports two SATA connections (rear I/O)
• One 2.5-in. SATA hard drive (optional for V7769 only)
• Dual SAS connector (front I/O on V7769 only)
• Real-Time clock/calendar
• Front panel reset switch
• PS/2 Keyboard/Mouse connection (front I/O)
• Onboard parallel connector
The 945GM chipset allows the V7768/V7769 to be capable of executing many of
today’s desktop operating systems such as Microsoft
®
’s Windows
®
XP, Windows
Vista
®
, Linux
®
2.6.x, and VxWorks
®
6.x. The standard desktop features of the
V7768/V7769 are described in Chapter 2: Standard Features of this manual.

Embedded Features of the V7768/V7769
• Remote booting out the front panel only
• Up to 8 GByte of bootable CompactFlash (optional)
• PCI-X capable PMC site with VITA 35 P2 I/O (factory populated on V7768
and main board of V7769)
• VITA 1-1994 with byte swap
• 32 KByte NVRAM
• Software-selectable Watchdog Timer with reset
• PMC expansion site Chapter 3: Embedded PC/RTOS Features
The embedded features of the V7768/V7769 are described in Chapter 3 of this
manual.
The V7768/V7769 are suitable for use in a variety of applications, such as:
telecommunications, simulation, instrumentation, industrial control, process
control and monitoring, factory automation, automated test systems, data
acquisition systems and anywhere that the highest performance processing
power for VME in a single or dual slot is desired.

Overview 11
Intel 945GM Chipset
The V7768/V7769 incorporate the latest Intel chipset technology, the 945GM. The
Intel 945GM chipset is an optimized integrated graphics solution with up to a

Safety Summary
The following general safety precautions must be observed during all phases of
the operation, service and repair of this product. Failure to comply with these
precautions or with specific warnings elsewhere in this manual violates safety
standards of design, manufacture and intended use of this product.
GE assumes no liability for the customer's failure to comply with these
requirements.
Ground the
System
To minimize shock hazard, the chassis and system cabinet must be connected to
an electrical ground. A three-conductor AC power cable should be used. The
power cable must either be plugged into an approved three-contact electrical
outlet or used with a three-contact to two-contact adapter with the grounding
wire (green) firmly connected to an electrical ground (safety ground) at the power
outlet.
Do Not Operate in
an Explosive
Atmosphere
Do not operate the system in the presence of flammable gases or fumes. Operation
of any electrical system in such an environment constitutes a definite safety
hazard.
Keep Away from
Live Circuits
Operating personnel must not remove product covers. Component replacement
and internal adjustments must be made by qualified maintenance personnel. Do
not replace components with power cable connected. Under certain conditions,
dangerous voltages may exist even with the power cable removed. To avoid
injuries, always disconnect power and discharge circuits before touching them.
Do Not Service or
Adjust Alone
Do not attempt internal service or adjustment unless another person capable of
rendering first aid and resuscitation is present.
Do Not Substitute
Parts or Modify
System
Because of the danger of introducing additional hazards, do not install substitute
parts or perform any unauthorized modification to the product. Return the
product to GE for service and repair to ensure that safety features are maintained.
Dangerous
Procedure
Warnings
Warnings, such as the example below, precede only potentially dangerous
procedures throughout this manual. Instructions contained in the warnings must
be followed.

1 • Installation and Setup
This chapter describes the hardware jumper settings, connector descriptions,
installation, system setup and operation of the V7768/V7769.
1.1 Unpacking Procedures
Any precautions found in the shipping container should be observed. All items
should be carefully unpacked and thoroughly inspected for damage that might
have occurred during shipment. The board(s) should be checked for broken
components, damaged printed circuit board(s), heat damage and other visible
contamination. All claims arising from shipping damage should be filed with the
carrier and a complete report sent to GE Customer Care along with a request for
advice concerning the disposition of the damaged item(s).
CAUTION
Some of the components assembled on GE products may be
sensitive to electrostatic discharge and damage may occur on
boards that are subjected to a high energy electrostatic field. When
the board is placed on a bench for configuring, etc., it is suggested
that conductive material be inserted under the board to provide a
conductive shunt. Unused boards should be stored in the same
protective boxes in which they were shipped.
1.2 Hardware Setup
The V7768/V7769 are factory populated with user-specified options as part of the
V7768/V7769 ordering information. Contact Sales for ordering information at
1-800-322-3616. For option upgrades or for any type of repairs, contact customer
care to receive a Return Material Authorization (RMA).
GE Customer Care is available at:
(1-800-433-2682), 1-780-401-7700.
Or, visit our website www.ge-ip.com.
The V7768/V7769 are tested for system operation and shipped with factory-
installed header jumpers. The physical locations of the headers and connectors for
the SBC with the PMC option are illustrated in Figure 1-1 on page 21 and
Figure 1-1 on page 21. The definitions of the connectors, headers and switches are
included in Table 1-1 on page 22.
CAUTION
All jumpers marked User Configured in the following tables may be
changed or modified by the user. All jumpers marked Factory
Configured should not be modified by the user.
Care must be taken when making jumper modifications to ensure
against improper settings or connections. Improper settings may
result in damage to the unit.
Modifying any jumper not marked User Configured will void the
Warranty and may damage the unit.
