1.1 Introduction
AQ7-LN is able to equip with Intel® AtomTM N455 processor and has
one DDR3 667/800 to support system memory up to 2 GB.
AQ7-LN adopts Intel® ICH8M chipset that implements serial
technologies with high performance. In addition, AQ7-LN
accommodates user-friendly expansion interfaces, ex: four
PCI-Express[x1], one LPC, and one SMBus interface.
For the display specifications, AQ7-LN integrates Intel® Atom™
N455 and integrates hardware MPEG2 decoder, and shared
system memory is up to 384MB/DVMT 4.0. The display of AQ7-LN
supports up to 18-bit single channel LVDS LCD.
The AQ7-LN equips rich I/O interfaces, such as eight USB2.0 and
ample storages of two SATA 2 and onboard SATA SSD for flexible
storage. If you are looking for an economic, time-saving and high
performance solution, AQ7-LN definitely is your first choice.

Always completely disconnect the power cord
from your board whenever you are working on
it. Do not make connections while the power is
on, because a sudden rush of power can
damage sensitive electronic components.
Always ground yourself to remove any static
charge before touching the board. Modern
electronic devices are very sensitive to static
electric charges. Use a grounding wrist strap at
all times. Place all electronic components on a
static-dissipative surface or in a static-shielded
bag when they are not in the chassis

3.1 System Test and Initialization
These routines test and initialize board hardware. If the routines
encounter an error during the tests, you will either hear a few short
beeps or see an error message on the screen. There are two kinds
of errors: fatal and non-fatal. The system can usually continue the
boot up sequence with non-fatal errors.
System configuration verification
These routines check the current system configuration against the
values stored in the CMOS memory. If they do not match, the
program outputs an error message. You will then need to run the
BIOS setup program to set the configuration information in memory.
There are three situations in which you will need to change the
CMOS settings:
1. You are starting your system for the first time
2. You have changed the hardware attached to your system
3. The CMOS memory has lost power and the configuration
information has been erased.
The AQ7-LN CMOS memory has an integral lithium battery backup
for data retention. However, you will need to replace the complete
unit when it finally runs down.

3.2 AMI BIOS Setup
AMI BIOS ROM has a built-in Setup program that allows users to
modify the basic system configuration. This type of information is
stored in battery-backed CMOS RAM so that it retains the Setup
information when the power is turned off.
Entering Setup
Power on the computer and press <Del> or <F2> immediately. This
will allow you to enter Setup.
Main
Set the date, use tab to switch between date elements.
Advanced
Enable disable boot option for legacy network devices.

A.1 Programming
AQ7-LN utilizes W83627DHG-P chipset as its watchdog timer
controller.
Below are the procedures to complete its configuration and the
AAEON intial watchdog timer program is also attached based on
which you can develop customized program to fit your application.
Configuring Sequence Description
Unlock W83627DHG
Select register of
watchdog timer
Enable the function of
the watchdog timer
Use the function of the
watchdog timer
Lock W83627DHG
There are three steps to complete the configuration setup:
(1) Enter the W83627DHG config Mode
(2) Modify the data of configuration registers
Appendix A Programming the Watchdog Timer A-2
Page 63
Qseven Module AQ7-LN
(3) Exit the W83627DHG config Mode. Undesired result may
occur if the config Mode is not exited normally.
(1) Enter the W83627DHG config Mode
To enter the W83627DHG config Mode, two special I/O write
operations are to be performed during Wait for Key state. To
ensure the initial state of the key-check logic, it is necessary to
perform two write operations to the Special Address port (2EH).
The different enter keys are provided to select configuration ports
(2Eh/2Fh) of the next step.
Address Port Data Port
87h,87h: 2Eh 2Fh
(2) Modify the Data of the Registers
All configuration registers can be accessed after entering the config
Mode. Before accessing a selected register, the content of Index
07h must be changed to the LDN to which the register belongs,
except some Global registers.
(3) Exit the W83627DHG config Mode
The exit key is provided to select configuration ports (2Eh/2Fh) of
the next step.
