Hardware Reference Power supply Q35 motherboards support soft-switched and hard-switched ATX power supplies. The standard 24-pin ATX power connector provides +12V, -12V, +5V standby, +5V, +3.3V power rails and an extra 4-pin ATX power connector provides +12V for CPU use only. A 20-pin ATX power connector can also be used.
Q35 motherboards support Intel Celeron, Pentium Dual-Core, and Core 2 Duo processors in a socketable LGA775 package. For support of other processors, refer to the Procelerant Endura Q35 Supported Processors List on the RadiSys Web site. Table 20. Supported processors Clock...

This support includes: One PCI Express x16 graphics slot on the PL35Q motherboard, electrically x16 interface PCI Express frequency of 1.25 GHz resulting in 2.5 Gb/s each direction per lane Raw bit-rate of 2.5Gb/s on each lane while employing 8b/10b encoding to transmit data...
Video Q35 motherboards provide a standard DA15F VGA connector on the rear I/O panel. The integrated Intel GMA 3100 video controller supports: 350MHz integrated 24-bit RAMDAC Resolution up to 2048x1536 pixels at 75Hz refresh DDC2B Compliant Interface Dual DVI MEC Use this procedure to set up dual DVI monitors using a dual DVI MEC.
I/O header to hear the beep signals. Network The PL35Q motherboard has a single Gigabit Ethernet controller. Ethernet port 0 uses the Intel 82566DM PHY controller, which connects to the ICH9/ICH9DO LAN (the MAC integrated on the ICH9/ICH9DO chipset) through a dedicated interconnect.
SATA The PL35Q motherboards provide four SATA headers to attach SATA disk drives via the SATA controller on the ICH9/ICH9DO chipset. The blue SATA connector supports eSATA for use with external devices at a distance of up to 2m. Note: SATA interface transfer rates are independent of Ultra DMA mode settings in the BIOS setup utility.
PCI slots are compliant with the PCI Local Bus Specification Version 2.3. The PL35Q motherboard has one 32-bit, 33MHz, 3.3V PCI slot. PCI Express All PCI Express interfaces on the PL35Q motherboard are compliant with the PCI Express Base Specification Version 1.1. One PCI Express x16 graphics interface One PCI Express x4 interface One PCI Express x1 interface.
CMOS RAM and RTC CMOS RAM and RTC The chipset integrates real-time clock (RTC) and 256 bytes of CMOS RAM that is used by the BIOS to store configuration information. A replaceable lithium cell battery (type CR2032) backs up both the RTC and the CMOS RAM, and provides approximately 5 years of un-powered backup.

System management System management The Q35 motherboard includes hardware system management functions using the Winbond W83627DHG chipset. These functions include monitoring system voltages, monitoring temperatures, and monitoring and controlling the system fan. Voltage monitoring Table 23 identifies the motherboard voltage rails that are monitored and explains how they are used.
Hardware Reference Fan control The Q35 motherboards support three fan monitors that check the fan tachometer signals to determine the fan’s rotational speed. The three monitors are assigned to the processor fan, system fan 1, and system fan 2. Fan speed modes are controlled in the BIOS setup utility, Advanced Features > Hardware Monitor menu.
Front panel connections and indicators Hard disk LED To indicate disk activity on any of the SATA or ATA channels, connect a single-color LED between pins 13 (anode) and 14. Overheat/fan failure LED To indicate an overheat of the CPU or a fan failure, connect a single-color LED between pins 7 (anode) and 8.
