LE-363 User’s Manual Introduction
Chapter 1 <Introduction>
1.1 <Product Overview>
LE-363 is the 3.5 inches embedded motherboard with AMD Geode GX533 platform, with
onboard VGA, AC97 audio, dual LAN and DC 12V input interface. Based on the AMD
Geode GX533 processor, the board provides many advanced features for reduced power
consumption, fanless design and high cost/price rate of production.
Low Power Consumption
Based on the AMD Geode GX533@400MHz process or onboard, it only takes up to 8.4W
at maximum powering, and is completely suitable for fanless design. Without a ny cooling
fan onboard, it can avoid the heat problem when the cooler failed in accidence.
Onboard TTL/LVDS LCD interface
Based on the AMD Geode GX533@400Mhz of integrated graphics, the board provides
onboard graphics with up to 4/8/12/16 MB of frame buffer, 18-bit/24-bit LVDS and 24-bit
TTL interfaces.
Embedded Component
Due to the low profile design, the board provides PCMICA card Bus, CF card socket for
flash disk with porting embedded OS and up to 512MB of DDR SO-DIMM.
Single Voltage Input
The board only requires DC 12V input; user’s can easily connect the board with an adapter
without the huge power supply.

LE-363 User’s Manual BIOS Setup
Chapter 3 <BIOS Setup>
The single board computer uses the Award BIOS for the system configuration. The
Award BIOS in the single board computer is a customized version of the industrial
standard BIOS for IBM PC AT-compatible computers. It supports Intel x86 and
compatible CPU architecture based processors and computers. The BIOS provides
critical low-level support for the system central processing, memory and I/O
sub-systems.
The BIOS setup program of the single board computer let the customers modify the
basic configuration setting. The settings are stored in a dedicated battery-backed
memory, NVRAM, retains the information when the power is turned off. If the battery
runs out of the power, then the settings of BIOS will come back to the default setting.
The BIOS section of the manual is subject to change without notice and is provided here
for reference purpose only. The settings and configurations of the BIOS are current at
the time of print, and therefore they may not be exactly the same as that displayed on
your screen.
To activate CMOS Setup program, press <DEL> ke y immediately after you turn on
the system. The following message “Press DEL to enter SETUP” should appear in the
lower left hand corner of your screen. When you enter the CMOS Setup Utility, the Main
Menu will be displayed as Figure 3-1. You can use arrow keys to select your function,
press <Enter> key to accept the selection and enter the sub-menu.
The board is based on Award BIOS and can be updated easily by the BIOS auto flash
tool. You can download the tool online at the address below:
http://www.award.com
File name of the tool is “awdflash.exe”, it’s the utility that can write the data into the
BIOS flash ship and update the BIOS.
B.2 Flash Method
1. Please make a bootable floppy disk.
2. Get the last .bin files you want to update and copy it into the disk.
3. Copy awardflash.exe to the disk.
4. Power on the system and flash the BIOS. (Example: C:/ awardflash XXX.bin)
5. Re-star the system.
