1 Hardware

Configuration

1.1 Introduction

The AIMB-221 is the most advanced AMD M690T/M690E series industrial motherboard for industrial applications that require high-performance computing. The motherboard supports the mobile and desktop Socket S1g1 Athlon 64/Athlon 64FX/Athlon X2/AMD Sempron/AMD Turion 64 processors with 200, 400, 600, 800, and 1,000 MHz HyperTransport (HT) interface speeds and DDR2 533/667/800 MHz memory up to 4 GB.

The AIMB-221 incorporates the AMD M690T/M690E chipset to offer cost-effective integrated graphics. The M690T/M690E chipset features ATI Radeon

graphics core to maximize VGA performance with up to 512 MB of shared system memory. In addition, the AIMB-221 has a single/dual Gigabit Ethernet LAN via a dedicated PCIe x1 bus, which offers bandwidth of up to 500 MB/s, eliminating network bottlenecks. High reliability and outstanding performance make the the AIMB-221 the ideal platform for industrial networking applications.

By using the ATI SB600 chipset, the AIMB-221 offers one 32-bit, 33-MHz PCI and a variety of features such as 4 on-board SATA II interfaces (bandwidth = 300 MB/s), 8 USB 2.0 connections; 1 ATA 100/66/33 port; and HD Audio. These powerful I/O capabilities ensure even more reliable data storage capabilities and high-speed I/O peripheral connectivity. When accompanied by Advantech's SNMP-1000 intelligent SNMP/HTTP system manager module, the AIMB-221 permits users to monitor and manage the system remotely. This is particularly crucial for mission-critical applications.

The AIMB-221 also adopts Advantech's unique patented "Sleep Mode Control Circuit" for AT Power Mode.

X1250 3D

1.2 Features

! High Performance I/O Capability: Dual/single Gigabit LAN via PCIe x1 bus, 1

PCI 32-bit/33 MHz PCI slots, 4 SATA2 connectors and 8 USB 2.0 ports.

! Standard Mini-ITX form factor with industrial features: AIMB-221 provides

industrial features like long product life, reliable operation under wide temperature range, watchdog timer, CMOS backup functions, etc.

! Health status monitoring and remote management: System voltage levels,

fan speed and CPU temperature are monitored to ensure stable operation. The remote management interface allows the system to be managed through Ethernet when it is connected to the SNMP-1000 Remote HTTP/SNMP System Manager.

! BIOS CMOS backup and restore: When BIOS CMOS setup has been com-

pleted, data in the CMOS RAM is automatically backed up to the Flash ROM. This is particularly useful in harsh environments which may cause setup data loss such as battery failure. Upon such an error occurring, the BIOS will check the data, and automatically restore the original data for booting.

! Automatically power on after power failure: It is often required to have an

unattended system come back to operation when power resumes after a power failure. Advantech's industrial motherboard allows users to set the system to power on automatically without pushing the power on button.

1.8 Safety Precautions

Warning! Always completely disconnect the power cord from your chassis when-

ever you work with the hardware. Do not make connections while the power is on. Sensitive electronic components can be damaged by sudden power surges. Only experienced electronics personnel should open the PC chassis.

Caution! Always ground yourself to remove any static charge before touching the

motherboard. Modern electronic devices are very sensitive to static electric charges. As a safety precaution, 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.

Caution! The computer is provided with a battery-powered Real-time Clock cir-

cuit. There is a danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Discard used batteries according to manufacturer's instructions.

Caution! There is a danger of a new battery exploding if it is incorrectly installed.

1.9 Jumper Settings

This section provides instructions on how to configure your motherboard by setting the jumpers. It also includes the motherboard default settings and your options for each jumper.

1.9.1 How to set jumpers

You can configure your motherboard to match the needs of your application by setting the jumpers. A jumper is a metal bridge that closes an electrical circuit. 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" (or turn on) a jumper, you connect the pins with the clip. To "open" (or turn off) a jumper, you remove the clip. Sometimes a jumper consists of a set of three pins, labeled 1, 2, and 3. In this case you connect either pins 1 and 2, or 2 and 3. A pair of needle-nose pliers may be useful when setting jumpers.

AMB-221 User Manual 8

1.9.2 CMOS clear (JCMOS1)

The AIMB-221 motherboard contains a jumper that can erase CMOS data and reset the system BIOS information. Normally this jumper should be set with pins 1-2 closed. If you want to reset the CMOS data, set JCMOS1 to 2-3 closed for just a few seconds, and then move the jumper back to 1-2 closed. This procedure will reset the CMOS to its default setting.

1.9.3 Watchdog timer output (JWDT1)

The AIMB-221 contains a watchdog timer that will reset the CPU or send a signal to IRQ11 in the event the CPU stops processing. This feature means the AIMB-221 will recover from a software failure or an EMI problem. The JWDT1 jumper settings control the outcome of what the computer will do in the event the watchdog timer is tripped.

1.10 System Memory

The AIMB-221 has two sockets for 200-pin dual inline memory modules (SODIMMs) in two memory channels.

All these sockets use 1.8 V unbuffered double data rate synchronous DRAMs (DDR SDRAM). They are available in capacities of 256, 512 1024 and 2048 MB. The sockets can be filled in any combination with DIMMs of any size, giving a total memory size between 256 MB and 4 GB.

1.10.1 CPU FSB and memory speed

The AIMB-221 can accept DDR2 SDRAM memory chips without parity. Also note that the AIMB-221 accepts DDR2 533/667/800 MHz SDRAM. The AIMB-221 does not support ECC (error checking and correction).

1.11 Memory Installation Procedures

To install DIMMs, first make sure the two handles of the DIMM socket are in the "open" position. i.e. The handles lean outward. Slowly slide the DIMM module along the plastic guides on both ends of the socket, and then press the DIMM module right down into the socket, until you hear a click. This is when the two handles have automatically locked the memory module into the correct position of the DIMM socket. To remove the memory module, just push both handles outward, and the memory module will be ejected by the mechanism in the socket.

Chapter 1 Hardware Configuration

1.12 Cache Memory

The AIMB-221 supports a CPU with one of the following built-in full-speed L2 caches:

! 1 MB for AMD Turion 64X2 TL-62 and TL56 CPUs, ! 512 KB for Mobile AMD Sempron 3700 + CPUs, and ! 256 KB for Mobile AMD Sempron 2100 + CPUs.

The built-in second-level cache in the processor yields much higher performance than conventional external cache memories.

1.13 Processor Installation

Warning! Without a fan or heat sink, the CPU will overheat and cause damage to

both the CPU and the single board computer. To install a CPU, first turn off your system.

AIMB-221 User Manual 18

The TFP410 is a DVI-compliant digital transmitter that is used in digital host monitor systems to T.M.D.S. encode and serialize RGB pixel data streams. TFP410 supports resolutions from VGA to UXGA and can be controlled in two ways:

1. Configuration and state pins or

2. The programmable I2C serial interface (see the terminal functions section).

The host in a digital display system, usually a PC or consumer electronics device, contains a DVI-compatible transmitter such as the TI TFP410 that receives 24-bit pixel data along with appropriate control signals. The TFP410 encodes the signals into a high speed, low voltage, differential serial bit stream optimized for transmission over a twisted-pair cable to a display device. The display device, usually a flat-panel monitor, requires a DVI compatible receiver like the TI TFP401 to decode the serial bit stream back to the same 24-bit pixel data and control signals that originated at the host. This decoded data can then be applied directly to the flat panel drive circuitry to produce an image on the display. Since the host and display can be separated by distances up to 5 meters or more, serial transmission of the pixel data is preferred (see the T.M.D.S. pixel data and control signal encoding, pixel data and control signal encoding, universal graphics control interface voltage signal levels, and universal graphics controller interface clock inputs sections).

The TFP410 integrates a high-speed digital interface, a T.M.D.S. encoder, and three differential T.M.D.S. drivers. Data is driven to the TFP410 encoder across 12 or 24 data lines, along with differential clock pair and sync signals. The flexibility of the TFP410 allows for multiple clock and data formats that enhance system performance.

The TFP410 also has enhanced PLL noise immunity, an enhancement accomplished with on-chip regulators and bypass capacitors.

The TFP410 is versatile and highly programmable to provide maximum flexibility for the user. An I2C host interface is provided to allow enhanced configurations in addition to power-on default settings programmed by pin-strapping resistors.
