2.2 LED indicators

The onboard LED indicators provide a convenient way to check the board’s statuses. The boot success, power

status, IDE accesses, Watchdog and Ethernet accesses are all visible.

The LED indicators are located on bottom of the board, near the LVDS connector.

STATUS Yellow LED shows error codes in terms of failures.

PWR MODE Yellow LED is constantly lit if the boot process is complete and the board is running normally.

LED flashes when board goes in suspend to ram mode.

MAIN PSU Yellow LED lights up when Main Power is supplied.

WD Red LED lights up when Watchdog is triggered. Can only be reset by a power off sequence.

LIVE Red LED is on at startup while the board executes the BIOS power on self test (POST). After

that, it is freely usable by application programs. Chapter 4.3 shows a small sample program on how to control it.

SATA Yellow LED flashes when SATA activity is recognized.

LINK Green LED shows the Ethernet Link status.

ACT Green LED flashes at Ethernet activity.

2.3 Hardware Setup

Caution Be sure to observe the EMC security measures. Make sure you are always at

the same potential as the module.

Caution Never connect or disconnect peripherals like HDDs or PCI and ISA boards

while the board's power supply is connected and switched on.

Note

The 5-amp value is the minimum you should have for the standard peripherals mentioned. If you want to use additional peripherals, please plan your power budget first. The system will not work without enough supply current for all your devices.

Use the cable set provided by ADLINK Technology GmbH to connect the CMx-GF to a VGA monitor. Connect either PS/2 or USB keyboard or mouse, respectively. Use the SATA cable to connect the hard disk. Make sure that the pins match their counterparts correctly and are not twisted. If you plan to use additional peripherals, now is the time to connect them, too.

Connect a 5-volt, 5-amp power supply to the power connector and switch the power on.

The display shows the BIOS messages. If you want to change the standard BIOS settings, press the <F2> key to enter the BIOS menu. See chapter 4.1 for setup details.

If you need to load the BIOS default values, they can be automatically loaded at boot time. See chapter 3.8, "Load Bios defaults", about loading BIOS defaults.

The CMx-GF boots from CD drives, USB floppies, USB sticks, hard disks, and CFast or Ethernet (PXE) devices. Provided that any of these is connected and contains a valid operating system image, the display will show the boot screen of your operating system.

The CMx-GF requires adequate cooling depending on the operating temperature range. Using the board without cooling could damage the board permanently.

3.2 Chipset

The AMD A55E (Hudson-E1) is AMD’s first generation Fusion Controller Hub (FCH) designed to deliver the quality and performance needed for everyday computing, multitasking, and multimedia functionality. Supporting AMD's Fusion Accelerated Processor Units (APUs), Hudson-E1 FCH replaces the traditional two-chip approach with a new, single-chip architecture, reducing power consumption and improving system performance while reducing the overall chipset footprint. The AMD Hudson-E1 FCH provides expanded I/O connectivity for advanced usage models to take advantage of modern peripheral devices.
