1. Introduction
1.1 Description
The leading WADE-8156 Mini-ITX adopts Intel®energy-efficient dual-core processing to fit
a high performance Intel®CoreTM 2 Duo Desktop based in the LGA775 package processors
and compatible for high-end computing applications with PCI-E bus architecture to adapt to
today’s demands and keep complete compatibility with hardware and software designed.
The onboard devices support one PCI Express x16 slot for flexible expansibility of graphics
interfaces, integrated graphics, and onboard dual Marvell Gigabit Ethernet controllers. It’s
beneficial to build up a high performance and fast transmission availability system for VARs,
or system integrators.
The WADE-8156 supports Intel®LGA775 CoreTM 2 Duo Desktop processors in E6000, 600,
500, 400, and 300 sequences via Intel®Q965 and ICH8 chipset integrated GMA3000
graphics with DVMT 4.0 display memory up to 256 MB for optional dual display function by
VGA/LVDS and VGA/DVI through optional ADD2 card. The board supports two DIMMs up
to 4 GB SDRAM with dual channel DDR2 533/667/800, enhanced onboard four SATA
high-speed data transferring at up to 300 MB/s, integrated Realtek ALC883 7.1 + 2 CH high
definition audio codec. The onboard Super I/O Winbond W83627DHG chipset supports two
RS-232 serial port interfaces, Hardware Monitor function, eight Hi-speed USB 2.0 ports,
and two 6-pin Mini-DIN connectors for PS/2 mouse and keyboard. Besides, one 24-pin
standard connector designed to support ATX power function, and a feature of CPU
overheat protection will provide user more security and stability.
Combing with these outstanding features in the Mini-ITX form factor, WADE-8156 is
definitely the most excellent choice for embedded applications like Network, Point of Sales
(POS), automated KIOSKs, security products, medical instruments, and gaming machines.

2. Hardware Configuration Setting
This chapter gives the definitions and shows the positions of jumpers, headers and
connectors. All of the configuration jumpers on WADE-8156 board are in the proper position.
The default settings shipped from factory are marked with an asterisk ().
In general, jumpers on the Mini ITX are used to select options for certain features. Some of
the jumpers are designed to be user-configurable, allowing for system enhancement. The
others are for testing purpose only and should not be altered. To select any option, cover
the jumper cap over (SHORT) or remove (NC) it from the jumper pins according to the
following instructions. Here, NC stands for “Not Connect”.
