1.0: Introduction to the Ciara Enterprise/Discovery 945GTP
This is the User's Guide for the Ciara Enterprise/Discovery 945GTP family of microcomputers. The Ciara
Enterprise/Discovery 945GTP is a series of PCI and PCI Express bus computers that use Intel Pentium D at front
side bus speeds of 533, 800 or 1066 MHz, Pentium 4 at front side bus speeds of 533 or 800 MHz and the Intel
Celeron D processors at front side bus speeds of 533 MHz both in the LGA775 package. All versions have one PCI
Express x16 video slot, one PCI Express x1 expansion slot and two conventional PCI bus slots.
All Ciara Enterprise/Discovery 945GTP versions use a Intel/AMI BIOS, a 1 Mb secondary external cache memory
on the CPU (256 Kb on Celeron processors) and up to 4 GB of main memory DDR2 type, PC400, PC533 or PC667.
Any version is configurable with processors ranging in speed from 2.53 to 3.8 GHz. The Set-Up and Configuration
procedures for all versions are identical.
While supplied as standard in a mini tower case, Ciara Technologies Inc. can supply the Ciara Enterprise/Discovery
945GTP in a full range of cases that include smaller desktop ones as well as larger towers that are suitable for
applications that require a greater expansion capacity.
The Ciara Enterprise/Discovery 945GTP computer version is determined by the particular CPU installed and
currently the following versions are offered. These are:
Celeron D 256 KB 533 MHz 2,53 GHz
Celeron D 256 KB 533 MHz 2,66 GHz
Celeron D 256 KB 533 MHz 2,8 GHz
Celeron D 256 KB 533 MHz 2,93 GHz
Celeron D 256 KB 533 MHz 3,06 GHz
Celeron D 256 KB 533 MHz 3,2 GHz
Pentium 4 1 MB 800 MHz 2,8 GHz
Pentium 4 1 or 2 MB 800 MHz 3,0 GHz
Pentium 4 1 or 2 MB 800 MHz 3,2 GHz
Pentium 4 1 or 2 MB 800 MHz 3,4 GHz
Pentium 4 1 or 2 MB 800 MHz 3,6 GHz
Pentium 4 1 or 2 MB 800 MHz 3,8 GHz
Pentium D 2 x1 MB 800 MHz 2,8 GHz
Pentium D 2 x1 MB 800 MHz 3,0 GHz
Pentium D 2 x1 MB 800 MHz 3,2 GHz

All versions utilize essentially the same Set-Up and configuration procedures and the same Intel/AMI BIOS.
Make a note that your new Ciara Enterprise/Discovery 945GTP computer supports the Intel Pentium 4 Hyper-
Threading (HT) technology enabling the motherboard to see two logical processing units although only one is
installed. This technology was for a while reserved for Intel server motherboards and has now been implemented in
Intel desktop motherboards. This enhancement will allow considerably more data to be treated for a same CPU
cycle.
With care and proper operating procedure, all Ciara Enterprise/Discovery 945GTP computers will give many years
of trouble-free service. The Ciara Enterprise/Discovery 945GTP can be configured for a wide range of special
purpose, business, industrial and scientific applications.
The information provided in this guide is all
that you should need to set up and use your Ciara Enterprise/Discovery
945GTP computer. We offer Technical Reference Manuals for sale to knowledgeable users.
