Page 15: Chipset Overview
Chapter 1: Introduction Chipset Overview The Intel 82946GZ chipset, designed for use with the Intel Xeon 3000 Series/Core 2 Duo processor and Pentium D/Pentium 4 Processor in desktop platforms, contains two components: GMCH (North Bridge) and ICH7R (South Bridge). The GMCH is used for the host bridge, and the ICH7R, for the I/O subsystems.
Page 16: Pc Health Monitoring
PDSBM-LN1/PDSBM-LN2/PDSBM-LN2+ User’s Manual PC Health Monitoring This section describes the PC health monitoring features of the PDSBM-LN1/ PDSBM-LN2/PDSBM-LN2+. The motherboard has an onboard System Hardware Monitor chip that supports PC health monitoring. Recovery from AC Power Loss BIOS provides a setting for you to determine how the system will respond when AC power is lost and then restored to the system.
Page 17: Bios Support For Usb Keyboard
It is even more important for processors that have high CPU clock rates of 1 GHz and faster. PDSBM-LN1/PDSBM-LN2/PDSBM-LN2+ accommodates 12V ATX power supplies. Although most power supplies generally meet the speciﬁ cations required by the CPU, some are inadequate. A 2-Amp of current supply on a 5V Standby rail is strongly recommended.
Page 18: Super I/O
PDSBM-LN1/PDSBM-LN2/PDSBM-LN2+ User’s Manual Super I/O The disk drive adapter functions of the Super I/O chip include a ﬂ oppy disk drive controller that is compatible with industry standard 82077/765, a data separator, write pre-compensation circuitry, decode logic, data rate selection, a clock genera- tor, drive interface control logic and interrupt and DMA logic.
Page 19: Chapter 2 Installation
(Note: Be sure to mount the motherboard into the chassis before you install the CPU onto the motherboard.) All motherboards have standard mounting holes to ﬁ t different types of chassis. Make sure that the locations of all the mounting holes for both motherboard and chassis match.
Page 20: Processor And Heatsink Installation
PDSBM-LN1/PDSBM-LN2/PDSBM-LN2+ User's Manual Processor and Heatsink Installation When handling the processor package, avoid placing direct pressure on the label area of the fan. Notes: 1. Always connect the power cord last and always remove it before adding, removing or changing any hardware components. Make sure that you install the processor into the CPU LGA 775 socket before you install the CPU heatsink.

Page 36: Jumper Settings
PDSBM-LN1/PDSBM-LN2/PDSBM-LN2+ User's Manual Jumper Settings Explanation of Jumpers To modify the operation of the motherboard, jumpers can be used to choose between optional settings. Jumpers create shorts between two pins to change the function of the connector. Pin 1 is identiﬁ ed with a square solder pad on the printed circuit board.
Page 37: Cmos Clear
CMOS Clear JBT1 is used to clear CMOS. Instead of pins, this "jumper" consists of contact pads to prevent the accidental clearing of CMOS. To clear CMOS, use a metal object such as a small screwdriver to touch both pads at the same time to short the connection. Always remove the AC power cord from the system before clearing CMOS.
