Packing List

Before you begin installing your card, please make sure that the following materials have been shipped:

• 1 ETX-701 CPU Module

• 1 CD-ROM for manual (in PDF format) and drivers

If any of these items should be missing or damaged, please contact your distributor or sales representative immediately.

Application Notes

1. ISA IRQ resource: If you use the ISA card, you have to disable the COM3 and COM4 in the BIOS due to the IRQ resource limitation. It will release the IRQ to the ISA card.

2. VGA through PCI graphic add-on card: If you use a PCI graphic add-on card, you have to use the onboard VGA first. Then, adjust the PCI graphic add-on card to be the primary in the OS. After re-booting, you can use the VGA through PCI graphic add-on card normally.

For more details, please contact with AAEON Application Engineering Department for help.

ETX CPU Module ETX-701

1.1 Introduction

AAEON announced the new Embedded Technology eXtended (ETX) product – ETX-701, which is based on the AMD LX800/ LX900 processors combined with AMD CS5536 chipset.

ETX-701 provides common PC peripheral functions such as graphics, USB, serial, parallel port, keyboard/mouse, Ethernet, SATA and IDE. The baseboard designer can optimize exactly which and how these functions are implemented physically.

All of AAEON's ETX modules have a standard form factor and a standard connector layout that carry a specified set of signals. By adopting this standardization, the designers can create a single system of carrier board that can accept present and future ETX modules in terms of their needs. In another word, AAEON will have different ETX solutions so that customers can upgrade the module without having to change their carrier board.

The ETX-701 was designed specially to improve the quality and speed of your product development. AAEON ETX series represent features of scalability, reliability and qualified services. It provides more compact size and more flexibility for your various applications as well.

ETX CPU Module ETX-701

2.1 Safety Precautions

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
