Introduction
Product Description
I815E is a high-performance flexible embedded board based on the Intel
815E chipset that contains the Graphics and Memory Controller Hub
(GMCH), the I/O Controller Hub (ICH2) and the Firmware Hub (FWH).
It supports 66/100/133MHz system bus, up to 1.4GHz CPU speed,
integrated 2D/3D graphics accelerator, and PC100/PC133 SDRAM
modules. With the ICH2, it is able to support UDMA33/66/100, four
USB ports, and integrated LAN.
System memory is provided by one 168-pin DIMM socket that
accommodates SDRAM with a maximum capacity of 256MB. The
Award BIOS facilitates easy system configuration and peripheral setup.
Other advanced features include four USB ports, 256-level watchdog
timer (supported by LPC I/O IT8712), and IrDA interface.

Installing the CPU
The I815E board supports a Socket 370 processor socket for Intel
Pentium III and Celeron processors.
The Socket 370 processor socket comes with a lever to secure the
processor. Raise this lever to about a 90°angle to allow the insertion of
the 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.
