PREFACE
This document is an update to the specifications contained in the IntelDesktop Board D845GRG Product
Supplement Document (Order number A85837). It is intended for hardware system manufacturers and
software developers of applications, operating systems, or tools. It will contain Specification Changes,
Errata, Specification Clarifications, and Documentation Changes.
Refer to the IntelPentium4 Processor Specification Update (Order number 249199) for specification
updates concerning the Intel Pentium 4 processor and that may apply to the desktop board D845GRG.
Unless otherwise noted in this document, it should be assumed that any processor errata for a given stepping
are applicable to the Altered Assembly (AA) revision(s) associated with that stepping.
Refer to the Intel845G/845GL/845GV Chipset Specification Update (Order Number 298657) for
specification updates concerning the 82845G MCH Controller and that may apply to the desktop board
D845GRG. Unless otherwise noted in this document, it should be assumed that any MCH errata for a given
stepping are applicable to the Altered Assembly (AA) revision(s) associated with that stepping.
Refer to the Intel82801DB I/O Controller Hub 4 (ICH4) Specification Update (Order Number 290745) for
specification updates concerning the 82801DB I/O Controller Hub and that may apply to the desktop board
D845GRG. Unless otherwise noted in this document, it should be assumed that any ICH 4 errata for a given
stepping are applicable to the Altered Assembly (AA) revision(s) associated with that stepping.
Nomenclature
Specification Changes are modifications to the current published specifications. These changes will be
incorporated in the next release of the specifications.
Errata are design defects or errors. Characterized errata may cause the desktop board D845GRG’s
behavior to deviate from published specifications. Hardware and software designed to be used with any
given Altered Assembly (AA) and BIOS revision level must assume that all errata documented for that AA
and BIOS revision level are present on all desktop boards.
Specification Clarifications describe a specification in greater detail or further highlight a specification’s
impact to a complex design situation. These clarifications will be incorporated in the next release of the
specifications.
Documentation Changes include typos, errors, or omissions from the current published specifications.
These changes will be incorporated in the next release of the specifications.

# INTEGRATOR’S NOTES
• Use only ATX12V-compliant power supplies with this Desktop Board.
ATX12V power supplies have an additional power lead that provides
required supplemental power for the processor. Always connect the
20-pin and 4-pin leads of ATX12V power supplies to the corresponding
connectors on the Desktop Board, otherwise the Desktop Board will not
boot.
• Do not use a standard ATX power supply. The Desktop Board will not
boot with a standard ATX power supply.
