1.2 Description
The MBATX-845GV-VEAH series combines the high performance and
exceptional value of the Intel®845GV chipset with a full-featured industrial
board. The Intel®advanced 845GV chipset supports regular socket 478-pins
Intel®Pentium®4 / Celeron®processors (1.3GHz up to 3.06GHz). User can
set the jumper to select the mobile CPU since the memory base on the FSB
400/533MHz operation supports DDR SDRAM interface. Additionally, the
845GV chipset integrates the VGA function and external graphics device on
AGP (845GV support ADD card only). The memory size of
MBATX-845GV-VEAH can be up to 2GB DDR including the onboard Intel®
82562ET Ethernet controller (support 10/100 Base-TX Ethernet), Audio and
with 4 COM ports. You many also add one slim floppy connector for special
applications.
The 82801DB I/O Controller Hub (ICH4) employs the Intel®Accelerated
Hub Architecture to make a direct connection from the graphics and memory
to the integrated Ethernet controller, the IDE controllers (ATA/33 or ATA/66
or ATA/100), six USB ports that are supported USB 1.1/2.0 standard meets
the performance, stability and reliability requirements.
The industrial board - MBATX-845GV-VEAH is suitable for all industry
applications and supports Windows®98/SE/ME/2000 and Windows®XP
operation systems.
1.3 Features
1.3.1 Graphic & Ethernet
The MBATX-845GV-VEAH is based on the Intel®845GV chipset,
offering users full integration of graphic, Ethernet, and audio functions. The
features of the chipset include:
¡Enhanced integrated graphics & system performance:
-400/533 FSB support
¡Memory:
- SDRAM PC133, DDR 266/333
- 2.0GB Max. Memory
- 2 DIMM, Non-ECC

¡IO Connectivity - ICH4:
- 6 Hi-Speed USB2.0 ports
- 10/100 Base-TX Ethernet
1.3.2 Ultra ATA/66/100
The ICH4 provides two channel Ultra ATA/66/100 Bus Master IDE
controller, that support Ultra ATA/66/100 protocols, perfect for such
demanding applications as real-time video, multimedia, and high
performance operating system. A new IDE cable is required for Ultra
ATA/66/100. This cable is an 80-conductor cable; however the connectors
are, of course, backwards compatible with ATA/33.
1.3.3 Hardware Monitoring
Hardware monitoring allows you to monitor various aspects of your
systems operations and status. The features include CPU temperature,
voltage and RPM of fan.
1.3.4 I/O Shield Connector
The board is equipped with an I/O back panel. Please use the
appropriate I/O shield (figure 1).

1.3.5 Power-On/Off (Remote)
The board has a single 20-pins connector for ATX power supplies. For
ATX power supplies that support the Remote On/Off feature, this should be
connected to the systems front panel for system Power On/Off button. The
systems power On/Off button should be a momentary button that is normally
open.
The board has been designed with “Soft Off" functions. You can turn Off
the system from one of two sources: The first is the front panel Power
On/Off the button, and the other is the "Soft Off" function (coming from the
M/Bonboard circuit controller) that can be controlled by the operating
system such as Windows®98/SE/ME/2000 or Windows®XP.
