Introduction
Overview
PlatiniX 2D series of mainboards utilize Intel® 845DDR chipset consisting of two compo-
nents: the Intel® i845DDR Memory Controller Hub(Brookdale MCH) and the 82801BA I/O
Controller Hub2(ICH2), providing a fully compatible, high performance and cost-effective
PC/ATX platform. The new integrated technologies, together with AGP 4X support, AC97
audio, integrated AN(optional), 4 USB ports, and ATA66/100/33, give customers an
advanced, multimedia solution at reasonable price. It provides 400MHz host bus speed to
support Intel®
Pentium 4 socket 478 processors and the largest DDR memory capacity is
up to 2GB. It also provides advanced features such as Wake up by USB devices, Wake-
on- AN, Wake-on-Modem, ACPI and Keyboard Password Power-on functions. Suspend
to RAM, the optimal implementation of the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface
(ACPI) specification, makes the PCs power consumption drop to the lowest possible level
and enable quick wakeup. BootEasy, QDI innovation, lets the PC boot freely and rapidly.
StepEasyII, our new innovation is also supplied to enable you to adjust CPU frequency
step by step easily to utilize CPUs potential ability.

New Feature
#"CPU,AGP,DDR Voltage adjusting function
Adjusting CPU core voltage in BIOS to improve system stability and overclocking ability.
Adjusting AGP voltage in BIOS to improve system stability and overclock ability.
Adjusting DDR voltage in BIOS to improve system stability and overclock ability.
#" Diagnosis LED
The mainboard provides Diagnosis ED function to indicate CPU, chipset, memory,
PCI device, clockgen and Video status during system booting up.This function may
make maintance of your computer more convenient and simple.During POST, if CPU is
burned out or the BIOS chip is damaged or CPU is absent, ED1 will blink at a frequency
of 1Hz, when the POST comes to CPU checking and chipset initializing, memory testing,
PCI detecting, clockgen initializing and Video initializing, the EDs will light up in turn.
When the POST finishes all the 5 EDs will turn off. Otherwise the coresponding ED
will remain light up to indicate a problem occurs.
#" Po er supply flexibility
Users are strongly recommanded to use an ATX12V power supply. However, the
PlatiniX 2D mainboard can also work with a legacy ATX power supply as long as its
+12V rail can deliver enough current(at least 8 Amperes).
NOTE: System stability with an ATX power supply is not guaranteed here and we are
not responsible for any damage caused.

Installation Instructions
This section covers External Connectors and Jumper Settings. Refer to the mainboard
layout chart for locations of all jumpers, external connectors, slots and I/O ports.
Furthermore, this section lists all necessary connector pin assignments for your refer-
ence. The particular state of the jumpers, connectors and ports are illustrated in the
following figures. Before setting the jumpers or inserting these connectors, please
pay attention to the direction.
External Connectors
PS/2 Keyboard/Mou e Connector
PS/2 keyboard connector is for the usage of PS/2 keyboard. If using a standard AT size
keyboard, an adapter should be used to fit this connector. PS/2 mouse connector is for
the usage of PS/2 mouse.
USB1, USB2 and LAN Connector
( AN connector is only available on PlatiniX 2D- /-A , PlatiniX 2DI- /-A )
Two USB ports are for connecting USB devices. The RJ-45 connector is for onboard AN.
Be sure to unplug the AC po er supply before adding or removing expansion
cards or other system peripherals, other ise your mainboard and expansion
cards might be seriously damaged.

Cha i Security Switch (CHSSEC)
The connector connects to the chassis security switch on the case. The system can
detect the chassis intrusion through the status of this connector. If the connector has
been closed once, the system will record the status and indicate the chassis has been
opened. You can monitor or check this information from QDI ManageEasy(optional) soft-
ware.
