Technical Specifications
Technical Summary
The Quanta Shasta (NZ2) DVT141 motherboard is an AMD AM3 socket platform supporting Athlon II processors, paired with an AMD RS880M North Bridge and AMD SB820M South Bridge. Graphics are handled by an AMD CEDAR PRO dGPU in a 631FCBGA 64-bit package, with 512MB of DDR3 VRAM configured as DDR3 BGA96. System memory consists of two DDRIII SODIMM slots supporting DDR3 1066/1333 MT/s. The embedded controller is an ITE 8512NX with a dedicated 1MB EC flash ROM. The main BIOS is stored on a 2MB SPI ROM, with a separate 1MB VBIOS ROM. Audio is provided by a Realtek ALC269 VB5 codec, and networking by a Realtek RTL8111 Gigabit LAN controller. A Realtek RTS5159 card reader is also integrated. Power management includes an NCP5293 CPU core regulator, along with RT8209A, RT8206B, TPS51116, RT8208, and NCP1589A power ICs for various system rails.
Technician FAQ
Q: What BIOS IC configuration is used on this motherboard?
A: The motherboard uses a 2MB SPI ROM for the main system BIOS and a separate 1MB VBIOS ROM for the discrete graphics.
Q: What EC/KBC chip is used and is it programmable?
A: The embedded controller is an ITE 8512NX. The schematic shows a dedicated 1MB EC flash ROM, indicating the EC firmware is stored externally and is programmable via the EC flash interface.
Q: What is the dGPU configuration on this platform?
A: The discrete GPU is an AMD CEDAR PRO in a 631FCBGA 64-bit package, with 512MB of dedicated DDR3 VRAM configured as DDR3 BGA96.
Q: What is the memory architecture of this motherboard?
A: The motherboard supports two DDRIII SODIMM slots for DDR3 1066/1333 MT/s memory modules.
