Chapter 1 Chapter 1 - Introduction Specifications Processor Chipset • CD905-B2550: - Intel® AtomTM D2550, 1.86GHz, 2x 512K L2, 10W TDP, dual-core - Cooling option: heatsink with cooling fan • CD905-B2800: - Intel® AtomTM N2800, 1.86GHz, 2x 512K L2, 6.5W TDP, dual-core - Cooling option: heatsink (fanless solution) • CD905-B2600: - Intel® AtomTM N2600, 1.6GHz, 2x 512K L2, 3.
Chapter 1 Features • Watchdog Timer The Watchdog Timer function allows your application to regularly “clear” the system at the set time interval. If the system hangs or fails to function, it will reset at the set time interval so that your system will continue to operate. • DDR3 DDR3 delivers increased system bandwidth and improved performance. The advantages of DDR3 are its higher bandwidth and its increase in performance at a lower power than DDR2.

Chapter 3 Important: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage your board, processor, disk drives, add-in boards, and other components. Perform installation procedures at an ESD workstation only. If such a station is not available, you can provide some ESD protection by wearing an antistatic wrist strap and attaching it to a metal part of the system chassis. If a wrist strap is unavailable, establish and maintain contact with the system chassis throughout any procedures requiring ESD protection.
Chapter 3 Installing the DIM Module 5. Grasping the module by its edges, align the module into the socket at an approximately 30 degrees angle. Apply firm even pressure to each end of the module until it slips down into the socket. The contact fingers on the edge of the module will almost completely disappear inside the socket. Note: The system board used in the following illustrations may not resemble the actual one. These illustrations are for reference only. 1.
