1.1 Introduction

AIS-E1-H61A adopts the 2nd generation Intel® CoreTM i7/ i5/
Celeron® processor up to 35W. The chipset is equipped with Intel®
H61. Moreover, the system memory features two DDR3 1066/1333
MHz SODIMM up to 16 GB. It deploys two LAN ports that consist
of 10/100/1000Base-TX Ethernet RJ-45 ports. AIS-E1-H61A
condensed appearance features desktop and wallmount form factor
that fits nicely into a space-limited environment.

This AIS-E1-H61A supports up to two 2.5” HDD/SSD or up to one

3.5” Hard Disk Drive and one 2.5” HDD/SSD. Moreover, the

flexible expansion interfaces feature one PCI-Express[x4], one
Mini PCIe, and one CF-SATA. In addition, this model supports
one RS-232/422/485 port, optional five RS-232 ports, and eight
USB2.0 (two ports on the front panel, six with USB2.0
connectors). Furthermore, the Realtek ALC887 supports HD
audio codec and the AIS-E1-H61A can support dual displays with
VGA, DVI-D, and HDMI.

With the increasing demands of high performance in audio and
video, AAEON released the specific Advanced System Controller
to fulfill the needs of the applications, such as Factory Automation,
Building Automation, and etc.

2.5 Setting Jumpers

You configure your card to match the needs of your application by
setting jumpers. A jumper is the simplest kind of electric switch. It
consists of two metal pins and a small metal clip (often protected by

a plastic cover) that slides over the pins to connect them. To “close”

a jumper you connect the pins with the clip.

To “open” a jumper you remove the clip. Sometimes a jumper will

have three pins, labeled 1, 2 and 3. In this case you would connect
either pins 1 and 2 or 2 and 3.

A pair of needle-nose pliers may be helpful when working with
jumpers.

If you have any doubts about the best hardware configuration for
your application, contact your local distributor or sales
representative before you make any change.

Generally, you simply need a standard cable to make most
connections.
