Introduction
Overview
PlatiniX 1D series mainboard utilizes Intel® 845DDR chipset, 845DDR consists of two
components: the 82845 Memory Controller Hub(MCH) and the 82801BA I/O Controller
Hub2(ICH2), providing a fully compatible, high performance and cost-effective mATX
platform. The mainboard provides 400 MHz system bus to support Intel®
Pentium 4 socket
478 processors and it supports PC200/PC266DDR SDRAM with the largest memory size
up to 2GB.The new integrated technologies, together with AGP 4X support, AC97 Audio,
4 USB ports, and Ultra DMA100/66/33, give customers an advanced, multimedia solution
at an reasonable price. It also provides advanced features such as Wake up by USB
devices, Wake-on- AN, Wake-on-Modem and ACPI functions. Suspend to RAM, the opti-
mal implementation of the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) specifica-
tion, makes the PCs power consumption drop to the lowest possible level and enable
quick wakeup. ManageEasy, our system management application is also supplied to en-
able remote monitoring and configuration of the system.BootEasy, lets the PC boot freely
and rapidly.

The ACPI ED is a dual-color light with three pins. Pin1and Pin2 drive different color lights.
If Pin1 drives the orange light , then, Pin2 drives the green light, the following status will
come out. When the system is in S0 status, the ED is green on. When the system is in S1
status, the ED is green blink. When the system is in S3 status, the ED is orange on.
When the system is in S4, S5 status, the ED is off.

Infrared Header (IrDA)
This connector supports wireless transmitting and receiving. Before using this function,
configure the settings for IR Address, IR Mode and IR IRQ from the INTEGRATED PERIPH-
ERA S section of the BIOS.
Audio Connectors (CD_IN1, CD_IN2, MODEM)
(Available on P1D-A/AL)
CD_IN1 and CD_IN2 are Sony standard CD audio connectors, they both can be con-
nected to a CD-ROM drive through a CD audio cable. The MODEM connector allows the
onboard audio to interface with a voice modem card with a similar connector. It allows
connecting the mono_in (such as a phone) or mono_out (such as a speaker) between the
onboard audio and the voice modem card.

The SCR Interface Connector is the interface between the motherboard and the Smart Card.
The SCR includes a standard UART to control Smart Card interface handshaking and then
performs data transfers. The SCR can be used for a broad range of applications in GSM, ID,
pay TV, banking and so forth. It also provides a Smart Card clock divider for those ICC
(Integrated Circuit Card) without internal clocks. If use this function, set UART Mode Select

Wake-Up On Internal Modem (WOM)
Through this function, the system which is in the suspend or soft-off status can be
waked up by a ring signal received from the internal modem. When this function is used,
be sure an internal modem card which supports this function is used. Then connect this
header to the relevant connector on the modem card, set Wake-Up by Ring/ AN as
Enabled in the Power Management Setup section of the BIOS. Save and exit, then boot
the operating system once to make sure this function takes effect.
Wake-Up On LAN (WOL)
Through the Wake-Up On AN function, a wake event occurring from the network can
wake up the system. If this function is to be used, please be sure an ATX12V power, and
a AN adapter which supports this function is used. Then connect this header to the
relevant connector on the AN adapter, set Wake-Up by Ring/ AN as Enabled in the
POWER MANAGEMENT SETUP section of the BIOS. Save and exit, then boot the operat-
ing system once to make sure this function takes effect.

4 Pin SMBus Connector(SMBUS)
This connector allows you to connect SMBus devices. SMBus devices communicate
through the SMBus with an SMBus host and/or other SMBus devices. The SMBus or
System Management Bus is a specific implementation of I2C bus, which is a multi-master
bus, that is, multiple chips can be connected to the same bus and each one can act as a
master by initiating data transfer.
Communication and Networking Riser Interface Connector(CNR)
The mainboard provides this Communication and Networking Riser(CNR) interface which can
support audio and/or modem functions . Furthermore, it provides a AN interface for network-
ing functions. What its superiority compared with AMR is being able to support plug-and-play
function. Mechanically the CNR shares a PCI slot, thus when you insert the CNR card, the
neighboring PCI slot cannot be used.
By using an audio codec, the AC97 digital link providing by CNR allows for cost-effective,
high-quality, integrated audio on the platform. AC97 digital link also allows several external
codecs to be connected to the ICH2. The digital link is expanded to support twoor three
audio codecs for up to 6 channels of PCM audio output (full AC-3 decode) or a combination
of an audio and modem codec.
