This warranty does not apply to any products which have been repaired or altered by persons other than repair personnel authorized by Advantech, or which have been subject to misuse, abuse, accident or improper installation. Advantech assumes no liability under the terms of this warranty as a consequence of such events. Because of Advantech’s high quality-control standards and rigorous testing, most of our customers never need to use our repair service. If an Advantech product is defective, it will be repaired or replaced at no charge during the warranty period. For outof-warranty repairs, you will be billed according to the cost of replacement materials, service time and freight. Please consult your dealer for more details. If you think you have a defective product, follow these steps: 1. Collect all the information about the problem encountered. (For example, CPU speed, Advantech products used, other hardware and software used, etc.) Note anything abnormal and list any onscreen messages you get when the problem occurs. 2. Call your dealer and describe the problem. Please have your manual, product, and any helpful information readily available. 3. If your product is diagnosed as defective, obtain an RMA (return merchandize authorization) number from your dealer. This allows us to process your return more quickly. 4. Carefully pack the defective product, a fully-completed Repair and Replacement Order Card and a photocopy proof of purchase date (such as your sales receipt) in a shippable container. A product returned without proof of the purchase date is not eligible for warranty service. 5. Write the RMA number visibly on the outside of the package and ship it prepaid to your dealer.

Always completely disconnect the power cord from your chassis whenever you work with the hardware. Do not make connections while the power is on. Sensitive electronic components can be damaged by sudden power surges. Only experienced electronics personnel should open the PC chassis. Caution! The computer is provided with a battery-powered Real-time Clock circuit. There is a danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Discard used batteries according to manufacturer's instructions. Caution! There is a danger of a new battery exploding if it is incorrectly installed. Do not attempt to recharge, force open, or heat the battery. Replace the battery only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Discard used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions. 7 GMB-945GC User Manual General Information Caution! Always ground yourself to remove any static charge before touching the motherboard. Modern electronic devices are very sensitive to static electric charges. As a safety precaution, use a grounding wrist strap at all times. Place all electronic components on a static-dissipative surface or in a static-shielded bag when they are not in the chassis. Chapter 1 1.7 Safety Precautions 1.8 Jumper Settings This section provides instructions on how to configure your motherboard by setting the jumpers. It also includes the motherboards's default settings and your options for each jumper. 1.8.1 How to set jumpers You can configure your motherboard to match the needs of your application by setting the jumpers. A jumper is a metal bridge that closes an electrical circuit. It consists of two metal pins and a small metal clip (often protected by a plastic cover) that slides over the pins to connect them. To “close” (or turn ON) a jumper, you connect the pins with the clip. To “open” (or turn OFF) a jumper, you remove the clip. Sometimes a jumper consists of a set of three pins, labeled 1, 2, and 3. In this case you connect either pins 1 and 2, or 2 and 3. A pair of needle-nose pliers may be useful when setting jumpers. 1.8.2 CMOS clear (CMOS1) The GMB-945GC motherboard contains a jumper that can erase CMOS data and reset the system BIOS information. Normally this jumper should be set with pins 1-2 closed. If you want to reset the CMOS data, set J1 to 2-3 closed for just a few seconds, and then move the jumper back to 1-2 closed. This procedure will reset the CMOS to its default setting. Table 1.3: CMOS1 Function Jumper Setting 1 *Keep CMOS data 1-2 closed 1 Clear CMOS data 2-3 closed * Default 1.9 System Memory The GMB-945GC has two sockets for 200-pin SODIMMx2. All these sockets use 1.8 V unbuffered double data rate synchronous DRAMs (DDR SDRAM). They are available in capacities of 256, 512 and 1024 MB. The sockets can be filled in any combination with DIMMs of any size, giving a total memory size between 256 MB and 2 GB. GMB-945GC does NOT support ECC (error correcting code). GMB-945GC User Manual 8 To install SODIMMs, first make sure the two handles of the SODIMM socket are in the “open” position. i.e. The handles lean outward. Slowly slide the SODIMM module along the plastic guides on both ends of the socket. Then press the SODIMM module right down into the socket, until you hear a click. This is when the two handles have automatically locked the memory module into the correct position of the SODIMM socket. To remove the memory module, just push both handles outward, and the memory module will be ejected by the mechanism in the socket. The GMB-945GC supports a CPU with one of the following built-in fullspeed L2 caches: 2048 MB for Intel Core 2 Duo CPU 1024 KB for Pentium dual core 1024 KB / 2048 KB for Pentium 4 CPUs 256 KB / 512 KB for Celeron D CPUs The built-in second-level cache in the processor yields much higher performance than conventional external cache memories. 1.12 Processor Installation The GMB-945GC is designed for LGA775, Intel Pentium 4, Intel Core 2 Duo, Celeron D and Intel Pentium dual core D processor. 9 GMB-945GC User Manual General Information 1.11 Cache Memory Chapter 1 1.10 Memory Installation Procedures GMB-945GC User Manual 10 Chapter 2 Connecting Peripherals 2 2.1 Introduction You can access most of the connectors from the top of the board as it is being installed in the chassis. If you have a number of cards installed or have a packed chassis, you may need to partially remove the card to make all the connections. 2.2 USB and LAN Ports (LAN1_USB12/ LAN2_USB34/USB56/USB7) The GMB-945GC provides up to seven ports of USB (Universal Serial Bus). The USB interface complies with USB Specification Rev. 2.0 supporting transmission rate up to 480 Mbps and is fuse protected. The USB interface can be disabled in the system BIOS setup.

GMB-945GC User Manual 50 Appendix A A Programming the Watchdog Timer A.1 Programming the Watchdog Timer The GMB-945GC's watchdog timer can be used to monitor system software operation and take corrective action if the software fails to function within the programmed period. This section describes the operation of the watchdog timer and how to program it. A.1.1 Watchdog timer overview The watchdog timer is built in to the super I/O controller W83627DHG. It provides the following functions for user programming: Can be enabled and disabled by user's program Timer can be set from 1 to 255 seconds or 1 to 255 minutes Generates an interrupt or resets signal if the software fails to reset the timer before time-out A.1.2 Programming the Watchdog Timer The I/O port address of the watchdog timer is 2E (hex) and 2F (hex). 2E (hex) is the address port. 2F(hex) is the data port. You must first assign the address of register by writing an address value into address port 2E (hex), then write/read data to/from the assigned register through data port 2F (hex).

Disabled is set as default. F5h Counting unit Set seconds or minutes as units for the timer. EFDR bit 3: Write 0 to set second as counting unit. Write 1 to set minutes as counting unit. [default] F6h Counts 0: stop timer [default] 01~FF (hex): The amount of the count, in seconds or minutes, depends on the value set in register F5h. This number decides how long the watchdog timer waits for strobe before generating an interrupt or reset signal. Writing a new value to this register can reset the timer to count with the new value. F7h WDT enabling/disabling and status monitoring EFDR Bit 7: Write 1 to enable mouse to reset the timer Write 0 to disable[default]. EFDR Bit 6: Write 1 to enable keyboard to reset the timer Write 0 to disable[default]. EFDR Bit 5: Write 1 to generate a timeout signal immediately and automatically return to 0. [default=0] EFDR Bit 4: Read status of watchdog timer, 1 means timer is “timeout”. AAh ----- Write AAh to I/O address port 2Eh to lock the Super I/O controller. Note! EFIR stands for Extended Function Index Register in Super I/O controller while EFDR stands for Extended Function Data Register. They coincide to each other so as to read and write the Data to its corresponding Index in Super I/O controller. GMB-945GC User Manual 54 1.
