Static Electricity Precautions

It is quite easy to inadvertently dam age the system board, components or devices even before installing them in your system unit. Static electrical discharge can damage computer components wi thout causing any signs of physical damage. You must take extra care in handling them to ensure against electrostatic build up.

1. To prevent electrostatic build up, le ave the system board in its anti-static bag until you are ready to install it.

2. Wear an antistatic wrist st rap.

3. Do all preparation work on a static-free surface.

4. Hold the device only by its edges. Be careful not to touch any of the components, contacts or connections.

5. Avoid touching the pins or contacting all modules and connectors. Hold modules or connectors by their ends.

Important:

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage your p rocessor, disk drive and other components. Perform the upgrade instruction

procedures described at an ESD wor kstation only. If such a station is not available, you can provide some ESD protection by

wearing an antistatic wrist strap and attaching it to a metal part of the system chassis. If a wrist strap is unavailable, es tablish

and maintain contact with the system chassis throughout any procedures requiring ESD protection.

FES2217

Safety Measures

To avoid damage to the system:

• Use the correct AC input voltage range to reduce the risk of electric shock.

• Unplug the power cord before removing the system chassis cover for installation or servicing. After installation or servicing, cover the system chassis before plugging the power cord.

Battery:

• Danger of explosion if battery incorrectly replaced.

• Replace only w ith the same or equivalent type recommend by the manufacturer.

• Dispose o f used batteries according to local ordinance.

Warranty

1. Warranty does not cover damages or failures caused b y misuse of th e p roduct, inability to use the product, unauthorized replacem ent or any kind of alterations of components an d product specifications.

2. The warranty is voided if the product has been exposed to physical abuse, improper installation, a ny kind of modification, acc idents or unauthorized repair of the p roduct.

3. Unless otherwise instructed in this user manual, the user m ay not, under any circumstances, attempt to perform service, adjustm ents or repairs on the product himself, whether the product is still covered by warranty or not. It must be returned to the place it was purchased at, the fa ctory or an au thorized service agency for any repair work.

Chapter 1: Introduction

1-1 Overview

Acnodes’ FES 2 21 7 is an outstanding and reliable embedded system w i t h high performance and low pow er consumpt ion remained.

FES2217 pro vides customer a choice of Atom D525 1.86 GHz low power pr ocessor. The advantage of

the Atom™Processor D525 Dual-core 1.86 GHz Pr ocessor offers decent power and performance while

asenabling easier r outing and heat flow. It provides to reach the maximum

memor y size up to 4 GB DDR 3- 800. Along wit h the Graphics Media Accelerator 3150, it

occupied with two processor cores clocked at 200 MHz, and the FES2217 supports for the high

resoluti on 2048 x 1536 VGA display.

In order to meet the networ k stability, the FES2217 uses two Realtek 81xx 100/ 1000 Mbps LAN with

Wake-On LAN & DMI to support and maintain Ethernet function. The system designed wi t h three DB-9

suppor ts for RS-232/ 422/ 485 in terface along w ith optional expansion for three of DB-9 for RS-

232. It also provides a softw ar e pr ogramming Watchdog (WDT) with timer range fro m 1 t o 255

seconds. For t he audio output, there hasoccupied with an ALC662 for speaker.

The power supply is capable for DC pow er i nput of 12V or 24V. The power consumpti on is able to

reach u p to 28W in maximum. The system is valuable for all th e embedded applications, and also well

sup port wit h the W i ndow 7, Window s XPand Linux Operati on system.

The new FES2217 considered w it h t he marvelous privilege in significant low power consumption

based on its integrated graphic suppor t to Atom CPU while as the cost-competit ive advantage make i t
