THE MB899 MINI ITX MOTHERBOARD

INTRODUCTION

MB899 User’s Manual 1

Introduction

Product Description

The MB899 Mini ITX board incorporates the Mobile Intel® 945GM Express

Chipset for Embedded Computing, consisting of the Intel® 945GM Graphic

Memory Controller Hub (GMCH) and Intel® I/O Controller Hub 7-M

(ICH7-M), an optimized integrated graphics solution with a 533MHz and

667MHz front-side bus. Dimensions of the board are 170mm x 170mm.

The integrated powerful 3D graphics engine, based on Intel® Graphics Media

Accelerator 950 (Intel® GMA 950) architecture, operates at core speeds of up to

400 MHz. It features a low-power design, is validated with the Intel® Core Duo

and Intel® Core Solo processors on 65nm process. With dual channel DDR2

667MHz two DIMM socket on board, the board supports up to 4GB of DDR2

system memory.

Intel® Graphics supports a unique intelligent memory management scheme

called Dynamic Video Memory Technology (DVMT). DVMT handles diverse

applications by providing the maximum (224MB) availability of system

memory for general computer usage, while supplying additional graphics

memory when a 3D-intensive application requests it. The Intel GMA 950

graphics architecture also takes advantage of the high-performance Intel

processor. Intel GMA 950 graphics supports Dual Independent Display

technology.

The main features of the board are:

 Supports Intel® CoreTM 2 Duo(Merom-Napa Refresh),

Intel® CoreTM Duo/Solo mobile processors

 Supports up to 2.33GHz, 533MHz/667MHz FSB

 Two DDR2 SDRAM DIMM, Max. 4GB memory

 Onboard 10/100 BaseT and Marvell PCI-Express Gigabit LAN

 Intel® 945GM Express VGA for CRT / LVDS

 2x SATA, 6x USB 2.0, 2x COM, Watchdog timer, 1394

 1x MiniPCI, 1x MiniPCI-E, 1x PCI, 1xPCI-E(x1) slots, optional DVI

Optional daughter cards:

ID390: Chrontel 7308, supports 24 bit single or dual LVDS channel

ID390C: Chrontel, 7021, supports CRT

ID391: Chrontel 7307C, single DVI (connector on cable)

Installing the CPU

The MB899 board supports a Socket 478MT (Napa) processor socket

for Intel® CoreTM 2 Duo , Intel® CoreTM Duo and Intel® CoreTM Solo

mobile processors.

The processor socket comes with a screw to secure the processor. As

shown in the left picture below, loosen the screw first before inserting

the processor. Place the processor into the socket by making sure the

notch on the corner of the CPU corresponds with the notch on the inside

of the socket. Once the processor has slide into the socket, fasten the

screw. Refer to the figures below.

NOTE: Ensure that the CPU heat sink and the CPU top surface are in

total contact to avoid CPU overheating problem that would

cause your system to hang or be unstable.

MB899 User’s Manual 7

Installing the Memory

The MB899 board supports two DDR2 memory socket for a maximum

total memory of GB in DDR2 memory type.

Installing and Removing Memory Modules

To install the DDR2 modules, locate the memory slot on the board and

perform the following steps:

1. Hold the DDR2 module so that the key of the DDR2 module align

with those on the memory slot.

2. Gently push the DDR2 module in an upright position until the clips of

the slot close to hold the DDR2 module in place when the DDR2

module touches the bottom of the slot.

3. To remove the DDR2 module, press the clips with both hands.
