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

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.

1.3.5 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.

INSTALLATIONS
2.1 System Installation
2.1.1 CPU Installation
Carefully follow the steps below in order to install the CPU:
1. Check and confirm that the jumpers are correctly set for the CPU youare
going to install (figure 3).
2. Lift the releasing lever of the Socket 478.
3. Align the pin of the CPU against the pinholes of the Socket 478. Be sure
to pay attention to the orientation of the CPU.
Figure 3: CPU Socket
4. Push down the CPU into the Socket 478.
5. Push down the release lever and lock it against the key hook.
6. Hook the hole in ZIF clip for the CPU cooling fan onto the notch on the
socket 478.
7. Place the CPU cooling fan atop the CPU surface.
8. Push down the opposite side of the ZIF clip and hook it.
9. Slide the head of the clip to left and lock it.
10. Connect the cooling fan cable to the socket as shown below. Be careful
not to place the cable on the CPU cooling fan.

Removing a CPU:
1. Before removing the CPU, turn off the MBATX-845GV-VEAH Series
power; then wait for about 20 minutes until the heat radiation plate of the
cooling fan and the CPU cools down.
2. To remove the CPU, lift the releasing lever of the Socket 478.
Note: The CPU and the heat radiation plate are hot. They may cause
burns.
To remove the CPU, reverse the installation steps.
2.1.2 Heat Sink & Retention Module Installation
Make sure a secure contact is made between the processors and the
heat sinks & fan. Insufficient contact, incorrect types of heat sinks, fans, or
thermal compounds, or improper amounts of thermal compound applied on
the CPU can cause the processors to overheat, whichmay crash the system.

2.1.3 Memory Module Installation
Figure 5 display the notch marks and what they should look like on your
DIMM memory module.
DIMMs have184-pins and two notches, that will match with the onboard
DIMM socket. DIMM modules are installed by placing the chip firmly into the
socket at a 90-degree angle and pressing straight down (figure 6) until it fits
tightly into the DIMM socket.

Figure 6: Memory Installation

Installations
12
Carefully follow the steps below in order to install the DIMMs:
1. To avoid generating static electricity and damaging the DIMM, ground
yourself by touching a grounded metal surface or using a ground scrap
before you touch the DIMM.
2. Do not touch the connector of the DIMM. Dirt residue may cause a
malfunction.
3. Hold the DIMM with its notch to the front side of the
MBATX-845GV-VEAH Series and insert it completely into the socket. A
DIMM should be inserted into the inner socket first. Guiding the hole at
each end of the DIMM over the retaining post at each end of the DIMM
socket.
4. If you install two DIMMs, install the second DIMM using the same
procedure as above.
5. If DIMM does not go in smoothly, do not force it. Pull it all the way out
and try again.
6. Make sure the DIMM is properly installed and locked by the tabs on both
sides of the socket.
Removing a DIMM:
To remove the DIMM, use your fingers or a small screwdriver to
carefully push away the plastic tabs that secure the DIMM at each end. Lift it
out of the socket.
Make sure you store the DIMM in an anti-static bag and must be
populated the same size and manufactory of memory modules.

2.1.4 Setting Jumpers and DIP Switches
There are jumpers and DIP-switches on the system board of the
MBATX-845GV-VEAH Series. You can set the jumpers to make the
necessary operations.
Figure 7: Jumper Connector
For any three-pins jumpers (Figure 7), the jumper setting is 1-2 when the
jumper connects pin 1 and 2. The setting is 2-3 when pin 2 and 3 are
connected and soon. You see a number “ 1 “ and a “ 3 “ printed on the circuit
board to identify these pins. And also, there is a second way of indication –
one of the lines surrounding jumpers is thick, which indicates pin NO.1.
To move a jumper from one position to another, use needle-nose pliers
or tweezers to pull the pin cap off the pins and move it to the desired position.
