3. GETTING STARTED This section of the ETX-945 User Manual covers basic hardware setup, power connection, system boot-up, and initial software configuration. First-time ETX-945 users normally receive the product as part of one of Diamond’s Development Kits, which provide everything needed to ensure rapid application development. Important Safe-Handling Information WARNING: ESD-Sensitive Electronic Equipment! Observe ESD-safe handling procedures when working with this produc

3.1 ETX Development Kits To facilitate evaluation and development, the ETX-945 is normally supplied pre-integrated into one of Diamond’s ETX development kits (pictured below). This approach increases project efficiency and reduces risks by providing a known good environment for rapid application development. Diamond’s ETX development kits feature baseboards with I/O connectors for quick and easy access to nearly all system interfaces, a CompactFlash socket, and modular PC/104-Plus expan

Using the four long screws provided with the heat-spreader (or heatsink), secure the heat-spreader (or heatsink) to the corresponding standoffs located in the four corners of the top of the ETX-945 module. If the ETX module is to being installed in an enclosure, align the heat-spreader’s (or heatsink’s) corner mounting holes with corresponding hole-pattern on the enclosure before inserting and tightening the four mounting screws. Depending on the thickness of the enclosure or chassis mate

3.4.3 Advanced Chipset Features From this setup page you can configure the size of the video controller’s on-chip frame buffer, set up the controller’s DVMT (Dynamic Video Memory Technology) mode and memory size, and specify what type of display will be used as the system’s boot-up console output device. DVMT is an advanced video controller function that dynamically allocates system memory to be used as video memory in order to efficiently use of available resources to maximize grap

3.4.6 PnP/PCI Configuration This section of Setup provides options for configuration of devices connected to the ETX-945’s PCI bus, including the choice between automatic “plug-and-play” (PnP) configuration of IRQ and DMA channel settings. If PnP is disabled, you can specific desired IRQ and DMA channels for PCI devices here. 3.4.7 Other Settings and Utilities A few additional status and control functions are available from Setup’s main menu. These include: CPU temperature status
