1-2 Chipset Overview
Intel’s Mukilteo (E7230) chipset, designed for use with the Pentium 4 Processor
in the 90nm Process in the LGA 775 Land Grid Array Package, is comprised of
two primary components: the Memory Controller Hub (MCH) and the I/O Control-
ler Hub (ICH7R). In addition, Intel's PCI-X (PXH) is used for added functionality.
The PDSMP-8/PDSMP-i provides the performance and feature-set required for
the high-end desktop and the UP workstation market. The PDSMP-8/i provides
the performance and feature-set required for the high-end desktop and the UP
workstation market.
Memory Controller Hub (MCH)
The function of the MCH is to manage the data flow between four interfaces: the
CPU interface, DDR2 System Memory Interface, PCI Express Interface, and the
Direct Media Interface (DMI). The MCH is optimized for the Pentium 4 processor
in the 90nm process in the LGA775 Land Grid Array Package. It supports one or
two channels of DDR2 SDRAMa, x8 PCI-Express.
The I/O Controller (ICH7R) provides the data buffering and interface arbitration re-
quired for the system to operate efficiently. It also provides the bandwidth needed
for the system to maintain its peak performance. The Direct Media Interface (DMI)
provides the connection between the MCH and the ICH7R. The ICH7R supports
up to six PCI-Express slots, four Serial ATA ports, six USB 2.0 ports and two IDE
devices. In addition, the ICH7R offers the Intel Matrix Storage Technology which
provides various RAID options for data protection and rapid data access. It also
supports the next generation of client management through the use of PROActive
technology in conjunction with Intel's next generation Gigabit Ethernet controller.
Intel ICH7R System Features
The I/O Controller Hub provides the I/O subsystem with access to the rest of the
system. Functions and capabilities include:
*Advanced Configuration and Power Interface, Version 2.0 (ACPI)
*Intel IIO External Design Specification (EDS)
*Mukilteo Memory Controller Hub (MCH) External Design Specification (EDS)
*Intel I/O Controller Hub 7R (ICH7R) Thermal Design Guideline
*Low Pin Count (LPC) Interface

PDSMP-8/PDSMP-i User’s Manual
1-3 PC Health Monitoring
This section describes the PC health monitoring features of the PDSMP-8/PDSMP-
i. The motherboard has an onboard System Hardware Monitor chip that supports
PC health monitoring.
Onboard Voltage Monitors for the CPU Core, 1.5V, +3.3V, +5V,
+5V standby, +12V and −12V
The onboard voltage monitor will scan these voltages continuously. Once a volt-
age becomes unstable, it will give a warning or send an error message to the
screen. Users can adjust the voltage thresholds to define the sensitivity of the
voltage monitor.
Fan Status Monitor with Firmware Speed Control
The PC health monitor can check the RPM status of the cooling fans. The onboard
fans are controlled by Thermal Management via BIOS.
CPU Overheat LED and Control
This feature is available when the user enables the CPU overheat warning function
in the BIOS. This allows the user to define an overheat temperature. When this
temperature reaches the threshold, the CPU thermal trip feature will be activated
and it will send a signal to the Speaker LED and, at the same time, the CPU speed
will be decreased.
1-4 Power Configuration Settings
This section describes features of your motherboard that deal with power and
power settings.
Slow Blinking LED for Suspend-State Indicator
When the CPU goes into a suspend state, the chassis power LED will start blinking
to indicate that the CPU is in suspend mode. When the user presses any key, the
CPU will wake-up and the LED will automatically stop blinking and remain on.
BIOS Support for USB Keyboard
If the USB keyboard is the only keyboard in the system, it keyboard will function
like a normal keyboard during system boot-up.
Main Switch Override Mechanism
When an ATX power supply is used, the power button can function as a system
suspend button. When the user depresses the power button, the system will enter
a SoftOff state. The monitor will be suspended and the hard drive will spin down.

Chapter 1: Introduction
1-11
Depressing the power button again will cause the whole system to wake-up. Dur-
ing the SoftOff state, the ATX power supply provides power to keep the required
circuitry in the system alive. In case the system malfunctions and you want to turn
off the power, just depress and hold the power button for 4 seconds. The power
will turn off and no power will be provided to the motherboard.
Wake Ring-On (WOR)
Wake-up events can be triggered by a device such as the external modem ringing
when the system is in the SoftOff state. Note that external modem ring-on can only
be used with an ATX 2.01 (or above) compliant power supply.
Wake-On-LAN (WOL)
Wake-On-LAN is defined as the ability of a management application to remotely
power up a computer that is powered off. Remote PC setup, up-dates and asset
tracking can occur after hours and on weekends so that daily LAN traffic is kept to
a minimum and users are not interrupted. The motherboard has a 3-pin header
(WOL) to connect to the 3-pin header on a Network Interface Card (NIC) that has
WOL capability. Wake-On-LAN must be enabled in BIOS. Note that Wake-On-LAN
can only be used with an ATX 2.01 (or above) compliant power supply.
1-5 ACPI Features
ACPI stands for Advanced Configuration and Power Interface. The ACPI specifi-
cation defines a flexible and abstract hardware interface that provides a standard
way to integrate power management features throughout a PC system, including its
hardware, operating system and application software. This enables the system to
automatically turn on and off peripherals such as CD-ROMs, network cards, hard
disk drives and printers. This also includes consumer devices connected to the PC
such as VCRs, TVs, telephones and stereos.
In addition to enabling operating system-directed power management, ACPI pro-
vides a generic system event mechanism for Plug and Play and an operating
system-independent interface for configuration control. ACPI leverages the Plug
and Play BIOS data structures while providing a processor architecture-independent
implementation that is compatible with both Windows and Linux Operating Sys-
tems.

PDSMP-8/PDSMP-i User’s Manual
1-6 Power Supply
As with all computer products, a stable power source is necessary for proper and
reliable operation. It is even more important for processors that have high CPU
clock rates of 1 GHz and faster.
The PDSMP-8/PDSMP-i accommodates 12V ATX power supplies. Al-
though most power supplies generally meet the specifications required by the CPU,
some are inadequate. A 2 amps of current supply on a 5V Standby rail is strongly
recommended.
The PDSMP-8/PDSMP-i accommodates ATX power supplies. It is strongly recom-
mended that you use a high quality power supply that meets ATX power supply
Specification 2.02 or above. You should use one that will supply at least 350W
of power. Also your power supply must supply 1.5A for the Ethernet ports. It must
also be SSI compliant (info at http://www.ssiforum.org/). Additionally, in areas
where noisy power transmission is present, you may choose to install a line filter
to shield the computer from noise. It is recommended that you also install a power
surge protector to help avoid problems caused by power surges. Please note that
the 9-pin 12V power connection (J15) is also required to provide adequate power
to you system.
1-7 Important Safety and Regulatory Information
Important! All electronic equipment and batteries must not be
disposed along with household waste. You must dispose of it prop-
erly by taking it to a collection point set up for taking such types of
waste. Contact your local waste disposal agency for information
on the nearest collection/deposit site.

damage to your system board, it is important to handle it very carefully. The following
measures are generally sufficient to protect your equipment from ESD.
Precautions
• Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.
• Touch a grounded metal object before removing the board from the antistatic
bag.
• Handle the board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral
chips, memory modules or gold contacts.
• When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.
• Put the motherboard and peripherals back into their antistatic bags when not in
use.
• For grounding purposes, make sure your computer chassis provides excellent
conductivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners and
the motherboard.
• Use only the correct type of onboard CMOS battery. Do not install the onboard
upside down battery to avoid possible explosion.
Unpacking
The motherboard is shipped in antistatic packaging to avoid static damage. When
unpacking the board, make sure the person handling it is static protected.
