Number 307014) for specification updates concerning the 82801GB I/O Controller Hub
and that may apply to the desktop board D945GCLF. Unless otherwise noted in this
document, it should be assumed that any ICH7 errata for a given stepping are
applicable to the Altered Assembly (AA) revision(s) associated with that stepping.

Intel Desktop Board D945GCLF Specification Update 5
Terminology
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 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.

8 Intel Desktop Board D945GCLF Specification Update
Specification Changes
Changes to the feature description in the board technical product specification.
Typically the customer does not have to do anything to achieve proper device
functionality as a result of the change.
1. Correction of a Table reference number in Section 2.5.1 of the Technical
Specification.
2.5.1 Power Supply Considerations
CAUTION
The +5 V standby line from the power supply must be capable of providing adequate
+5 V standby current. Failure to do so can damage the power supply. The total
amount of standby current required depends on the wake devices supported and
manufacturing options.
Additional power required will depend on configurations chosen by the integrator.
The power supply must comply with the indicated parameters of the ATX form factor
specification.
•The potential relation between 3.3 VDC and +5 VDC power rails
•The current capability of the +5 VSB line
•All timing parameters
•All voltage tolerances
For example, for a system consisting of a D945GCLF board (with integrated Intel®
Atom processor at 4 W), 2 GB DDR2 RAM, one hard disk drive, one optical drive, and
all board peripherals enabled, the minimum recommended power supply is 75 W.
Table 21 lists the recommended power supply current values.
Table 21.Recommended Power Supply Current Values
Output Voltage 3.3 V 5 V 12 V1 12 V2 -12 V 5 VSB
Current 0.51 A 7.75 A 0.52 A 0.32 A 0.018 A 0.3 A
