LE-366 User’s Manual
Packing List
Please check the package before you starting setup the system.
LE-366 is the Mini-ITX motherboard with AMD Geode LX800 pl atform, with onboard VGA,
AC97 audio, GIGA LAN interface. Based on the AMD Geode LX800 processor, the board
provides many advanced features for reduced power consumption, fan-less design and
high cost/price rate of production.
Low Power Consumption
Based on the AMD Geode LX800@500MHz processor onboard, it only takes up to 3.8W at
maximum powering, and is completely suitable for fan-less design. Without any cooling f an
onboard, it can avoid the heat problem when the cooler failed in accidence.
Onboard TFT/LVDS LCD interface
Based on the AMD Geode LX800@500Mhz of integrated graphics and 18-bit LVDS
interfaces.
Embedded Component
Due to the low profile design, the board provides CF car d socket for flash disk with porting
embedded OS and up to DDR SDRAM.
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.

The motherboard uses the Award BIOS for the system configuration. The Award BIOS in
the single board computer is a customized version of the in dustrial 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 modif y 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 t he BIOS are current at th e 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> key i mmediately 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 4-1. You can use arrow keys to select your function, press <Enter>
key to accept the selection and enter the sub-menu.
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.
Any question about the BIOS re-flash please contact your distributors or visit the
