Overall assembly dimensions
For overall assembly heights of CE945GM2A modules with each thermal solution, see Chapter
4, ”Thermal Solutions” on page 37.
Module receptacle
The CE945GM2A board-to-board interconnectors use a PICMG-compliant 440-pin module
receptacle (part number: AMP/Tyco 3-1827231-6), comprising two 220-pin, 0.5mm pitch
receptacles.
For pinout definitions of the board-to-board interconnectors and required/optional features for
the corresponding COM Express pinout type, see Appendix A, ”COM Express Module Pinout
Definitions” on page 49.

Electrical
Stack-up heights
Parts mounted on the bottom surface of the module (between the module and the carrier
board) have a maximum height of 3.8mm. This affects the maximum allowable height of carrier
board components underneath the module.
If the carrier board has module-to-carrier interconnectors 5mm in height, the clearance
between the carrier board and the bottom surface of the module’s PCB is 5mm. This limits
the height of carrier board components underneath the module to 1mm.
If the carrier board has module-to-carrier interconnectors 8mm in height, the clearance
between the carrier board and the bottom surface of the module’s PCB is 8mm. This allows
the use of carrier board components underneath the module up to 4mm in height.
Electrical
Module power consumption
The amount of power consumed by CE945GM modules is highly dependent on the processor,
memory, attached devices, running software, and power state that the module is in. The
following sample measurements were based on the CR100 carrier board and these hardware
configurations:
Power consumption of CE945GM modules includes the power dissipation of CPU and
memory.
Power consumption of the CR100 carrier board includes the power dissipation of the
CR100 carrier board itself, hard disk, PCI-based POST 80 card, USB attachments, and
monitor.
The total system power consumption includes CE945GM modules, CR100 carrier board,
and devices attached onto the CR100 carrier board.

Power requirements
The active heatsink assemblies require an extra +7.0V — +13.2V power supply (+12V
recommended).
Passive heatsink
The CE945GM2-PHS passive heatsink supports up to 15W thermal dissipation when the
ambient temperature reaches 60ºC. This heatsink is capable of working with CE945GM2A-423-
0, CE945GM2A-L24-0, and CE945GM2A-U25-0 modules in a forced-air cooled chassis that is
at least one rack mount unit (1U) in height.
The forced air must flow across the top of the passive heatsink at a minimum rate of 1.5m/s.
The air must flow in the direction of the heatsink’s fins, as shown in Figure 11.

BIOS CONFIGURATION AND OS SUPPORT 5
The CE945GM BIOS is based on the Phoenix TrustedCore BIOS with RadiSys extensions. BIOS
features include:
Multi-core processing
ACPI 3.0 wake up events from S3, S4, and S5 states, including power button, RTC, Wake On
LAN, and PME wake up
CMOS saving and restoration via system setup utility
Pre-boot Execution Environment (PXE) boot
Port80 Power On Self Test (POST) output to LPC bus or PCI bus
Console redirection to a serial port
USB 2.0 Debug Port on any of eight USB ports
Intel Virtualization Technology
High-resolution, GUI-based, customizable splash screen
Using the BIOS setup utility, you can display and modify the system configurations. The BIOS
configuration is stored in non-volatile CMOS RAM, and is used to initialize the system.
Boot devices
The CE945GM2A BIOS allows you to boot your operating system from any of the following
interfaces and devices:
IDE/ATA
IDE hard disk drive
CompactFlash card
IDE CD-ROM/DVD-ROM
SATA
SATA hard disk drive
SATA CD-ROM/DVD-ROM
USB
USB hard disk drive
USB flash drive
USB floppy drive
USB CD-ROM/DVD-ROM

BIOS Configuration and OS Support
PXE/Ethernet
To determine the boot device priority:
1. During system startup, press to enter the BIOS setup utility.
2. In the Boot > Boot order menu, select initialization and boot priority for all devices and
actions.
3. In the Exit menu, save settings and reboot.
POST and boot process
The system BIOS performs a Power On Self Test (POST) upon power-on or reset, which tests
and initializes the hardware and programs the chipset and other peripheral components.
When the hardware fails to respond as expected, POST may not be able to continue. For
example, if the memory controller or memory itself cannot be configured, the system cannot
continue to initialize the graphics display because the BIOS-level display driver (also known as
Video BIOS) requires memory to work properly.
The POST attempts to determine whether further operation is possible. Failures during POST
can be indicated by POST checkpoint codes on the BIOS setup screen or POST card that is
installed on the carrier board’s LPC connector. For detailed information, see POST checkpoint
codes on page 60.
After POST completes, the system BIOS performs these steps:
1. Determine whether all boot devices listed in the boot device priority list are operational.
2. Steps through the boot devices and actions in the configured boot order until the system
either loads an operating system successfully. At that point, the system BIOS plays no
further part in the boot process except to provide run-time services to the operating system.
Console redirection
Console redirection is useful especially when your carrier board does not provide a valid video
interface.
To extend video display during system startup, you can use console redirection on a USB port or
on one of the two serial ports if your carrier board includes a Winbond® WPC8374L or
W83627EHG Super I/O chip. Two BIOS release packages are available on the RadiSys Web site
to support these two Super I/O chips correspondingly, so be sure to select the correct BIOS to
support your Super I/O chip.
To set up console redirection:
1. Connect a null modem cable from your host computer to a serial port on your carrier board.
2. During system startup, press to enter the BIOS setup utility.
3. In the Configuration > Advanced Configuration > Legacy Device Configuration menu, set
Console Redirection to the desired serial port.
4. Make sure that Baud Rate, Console Type, Flow Control, and Console Connection are the
same with your host terminal settings.
46
5
BIOS setup
5. Optional. If you need to use console redirection after entering the operating system, set
Continue After POST to [Enabled].
6. In the Exit menu, save settings and reboot.
7. Use a terminal emulation program, such as Windows HyperTerminal, to emulate the video
display.
BIOS setup
To enter the BIOS setup utility, press during system startup. Use the up, down, left, and
right arrow keys on your keyboard to navigate through BIOS items in a menu. Online help is
provided in the system setup screens to explain options.
After you have completed the BIOS settings, press or use the commands on the Exit
menu to save changes. Press to go immediately to the Exit menu.
For detailed instructions on BIOS configuration, refer to the Procelerant CE945GM2A COM
Express Module System Setup utility Specification.
BIOS Update and recovery
BIOS release packages are periodically available on the RadiSys Web site to address known
issues or to add new features. The release packages include detailed instructions for updating
the BIOS.
Note: Two BIOS release packages are available on the RadiSys Web site to support these two
Super I/O chips correspondingly, so be sure to find the correct BIOS update packages.
WARNING! BIOS updates should be undertaken with care and only when necessary. If the BIOS
update is interrupted by a loss of power before it is complete, the BIOS can be corrupted. Recovery
of a corrupted BIOS requires a BIOS recovery diskette. Use the instructions provided with the BIOS
update to make sure the BIOS update is successful.
CMOS save and restore configuration
When you save your settings in the BIOS setup utility, BIOS configurations are saved into the
BIOS CMOS RAM. You can also save the current BIOS settings into the BIOS flash ROM, so that
you can do one of the following later on:
Restore these settings manually as needed
Restore these settings automatically upon CMOS corruption
Restore these settings automatically upon system boot
To save and restore CMOS RAM settings into and from the BIOS flash ROM:
1. Make sure the system is able to boot successfully.
2. During system startup, press to enter the BIOS setup utility.
3. If desired, you can make changes to BIOS settings at this point.

BIOS Configuration and OS Support
4. In the Exit menu, to save current CMOS items to nonvolatile BIOS flash ROM, move your
cursor to Save CMOS to Flash and press . It will allow you to restore the saved BIOS
configuration after system reboot.
Tip: To erase all previously-stored CMOS data from flash ROM, move your cursor to Erase
CMOS from Flash and press .
5. Optional. To restore the saved BIOS configuration manually, move your cursor to Restore
CMOS from Flash and press .
6. Optional. To restore the saved BIOS configuration automatically upon CMOS corruption or
upon system reboot, set CMOS Restore Condition to [CMOS Corruption] or [Always]
respectively.
7. In the Exit menu, save settings and reboot.

module in a reset condition if low.
Power management
Thermal protection 0/1 This port provides thermal signaling to protect critical
components on the module and the carrier board.
Battery-low alarm 0/1 This port provides a battery-low signal to the module for
orderly transition to power saving or power cut-off ACPI
modes.
Suspend 0/1 This port defines the signaling to indicate that the module has
entered the ACPI power-saving mode S3 (Suspend-To-RAM or
STR), S4 (Suspend-To-Disk or STD), or S5 (Soft-Off).
Wake 0/2 This port defines the signaling to wake up the module from a
power saving mode.
Most prevalent choices for these signals are RING# and LID#,
although other choices can be implemented.

POST checkpoint codes
POST 80 codes
This section lists the POST checkpoint codes that the system BIOS may send to I/O port 80h
during POST. They are presented in an alphabetically ascending order and are not necessarily in
order of execution.
If an error occurs at any of the listed checkpoints, the system attempts to generate beeps to
indicate where the error occurred. To hear the beeps, connect a speaker (not included) to the
speaker pin on the front panel I/O header. Beep codes are derived from the checkpoint code in
the following way:
1. The 8-bit hexadecimal checkpoint code is converted to binary, then the binary number is
divided into four 2-bit groups. For example:
Checkpoint code 20h = 00100000 = 00-10-00-00
2. Each 2-bit group is converted to a one-based number, and 1 is added to indicate the
number of beeps:
3. 00 10 00 00 = 1-3-1-1 beeps
Note: Only standard Phoenix TrustedCore BIOS POST 80 codes are listed in the tables below. If
you encounter other POST 80 codes, contact RadiSys for further assistance.
