Desktop Board D945PWM Specification Update
ERRATA
1. The placement of capacitors behind PCI Express* x1
connector slot 1 may prohibit some PCI Express x1 add
-
in cards from properly connecting to the motherboard
PROBLEM: Due to the design and placement of the audio circuitry on this motherboard, it was necessary to
position capacitors in the keep-out zone behind PCI Express* x1 connector slot 1.
IMPLICATION: Some PCI Express x1 add-in cards may not fully connect to PCI Express x1 connector slot 1,
due to interference between capacitors in the keep-out zone and I/O connectors on the add-in card that are
located on the I/O bracket, in line with the edge fingers on the card.
WORKAROUND: None
STATUS: MAY BE FIXED IN A LATER HARDWARE REVISION.
2. Design for the rear-panel MIC bias circuitry will not
correctly amplify rear-panel microphone recording
PROBLEM: Due to the transistor design for the rear-panel microphone circuitry, there is no audible recording
level.
IMPLICATION: The rear-panel microphone will not record at correct volume levels
WORKAROUND: The front panel audio connector may be used as it is not affected by this issue and will
produce an amplified microphone recording.
STATUS: Fixed.
