Processor
CAUTION
Failure to use an appropriate power supply and/or not connecting the 12 V (2 x 2)
power connector to the Desktop Board may result in damage to the board, or the
system may not function properly.
Desktop Board D945GCLF includes an Intel Atom processor 230. The processor is
soldered to the Desktop Board and is not customer upgradeable.
Main Memory
NOTE
To be fully compliant with all applicable Intel
®
SDRAM memory specifications, the
board should be populated with DIMMs that support the Serial Presence Detect (SPD)
data structure. If your DIMMs do not support SPD, you will see a notification to this
effect on the screen at power up. The BIOS will attempt to configure the memory
controller for normal operation.
The Desktop Board has one 240-pin Double Data Rate 2 (DDR2) SDRAM Dual Inline
Memory Module (DIMM) connector with gold-plated contacts. It supports:
• 533 MHz unbuffered, non-registered DDR2 DIMMs
• Serial Presence Detect (SPD) memory only
• Non-ECC memory
• Up to 2 GB of memory
