Product Warranty

Avalue warrants to you, the original purchaser, that each of its products will be free from defects in materials and workmanship for two years from the date of purchase.

This warranty does not apply to any products which have been repaired or altered by persons other than repair personnel authorized by Avalue, or which have been subject to misuse, abuse, accident or improper installation. Avalue assumes no liability under the

terms of this warranty as a consequence of such events. Because of Avalue’s high

quality-control standards and rigorous testing, most of our customers never need to use our

repair service. If any of Avalue’s products is defective, it will be repaired or replaced at no

charge during the warranty period. For out-of-warranty repairs, you will be billed according to the cost of replacement materials, service time, and freight. Please consult your dealer for more details. If you think you have a defective product, follow these steps:

1. Collect all the information about the problem encountered. (For example,

CPU type and speed, Avalue’s products model name, hardware & BIOS

revision number, other hardware and software used, etc.) Note anything abnormal and list any on-screen messages you get when the problem occurs.

2. Call your dealer and describe the problem. Please have your manual, product,

and any helpful information available.

3. If your product is diagnosed as defective, obtain an RMA (return material

authorization) number from your dealer. This allows us to process your good return more quickly.

4. Carefully pack the defective product, a complete Repair and Replacement

Order Card and a photocopy proof of purchase date (such as your sales receipt) in a shippable container. A product returned without proof of the purchase date is not eligible for warranty service.

5. Write the RMA number visibly on the outside of the package and ship it

prepaid to your dealer.

1. Getting Started

1.1 Safety Precautions

Warning!

Always completely disconnect the power cord from your chassis whenever 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 CPU card. 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 in a static-dissipative surface or static-shielded bag when they are not in the chassis.

1.2 Packing List

Before you begin installing your single board, please make sure that the following materials have been shipped:

 1 x EBM-APL Intel® Pentium®/Celeron®/Atom™ SoC Processor 5.25”

Mini Module

 1 x DVD-ROM or CD-ROM contains the followings:

1.4 Manual Objectives

This manual describes in details Avalue Technology EBM-APL Single Board.

We have tried to include as much information as possible but we have not duplicated information that is provided in the standard IBM Technical References, unless it proved to be necessary to aid in the understanding of this board.

We strongly recommend that you study this manual carefully before attempting to set up EBM-APL series or change the standard configurations. Whilst all the necessary information is available in this manual we would recommend that unless you are confident, you contact your supplier for guidance.

Please be aware that it is possible to create configurations within the CMOS RAM that make booting impossible. If this should happen, clear the CMOS settings, (see the description of the Jumper Settings for details).

If you have any suggestions or find any errors regarding this manual and want to inform us of these, please contact our Customer Service department with the relevant details.

2.2 Jumper and Connector List

You can configure your board to match the needs of your application by setting jumpers. A jumper is the simplest kind of electric switch. 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” a jumper you connect the pins with the clip.

To “open” a jumper you remove the clip. Sometimes a jumper will have three pins, labeled 1,

2, and 3. In this case, you would connect either two pins.

The jumper settings are schematically depicted in this manual as follows:

A pair of needle-nose pliers may be helpful when working with jumpers. Connectors on the board are linked to external devices such as hard disk drives, a keyboard, or floppy drives. In addition, the board has a number of jumpers that allow you to configure your system to suit your application. If you have any doubts about the best hardware configuration for your application, contact your local distributor or sales representative before you make any changes.

The following tables list the function of each of the board’s jumpers and connectors.

32 EBM-APL User’s Manual

User’s Manual

3.1 Introduction

The BIOS setup program allows users to modify the basic system configuration. In this following chapter will describe how to access the BIOS setup program and the configuration options that may be changed.

3.2 Starting Setup

The AMI BIOS™ is immediately activated when you first power on the computer. The BIOS

reads the system information contained in the NVRAM and begins the process of checking out the system and configuring it. When it finishes, the BIOS will seek an operating system on one of the disks and then launch and turn control over to the operating system.

While the BIOS is in control, the Setup program can be activated in one of two ways: By pressing <Del> or <F2> immediately after switching the system on, or By pressing the <Del> or <F2> key when the following message appears briefly at the left-top of the screen during the POST (Power On Self Test).

Press <Del> or <F2> to enter SETUP

If the message disappears before you respond and you still wish to enter Setup, restart the system to try again by turning it OFF then ON or pressing the "RESET" button on the system case. You may also restart by simultaneously pressing <Ctrl>, <Alt>, and <Delete> keys. If you do not press the keys at the correct time and the system does not boot, an error message will be displayed and you will again be asked to.

Press F1 to Continue, DEL to enter SETUP

3.3 Using Setup

In general, you use the arrow keys to highlight items, press <Enter> to select, use the PageUp and PageDown keys to change entries, press <F1> for help and press <Esc> to quit. The following table provides more detail about how to navigate in the Setup program using the keyboard.

 Navigating Through The Menu Bar

Use the left and right arrow keys to choose the menu you want to be in.

Note: Some of the navigation keys differ from one screen to another.

 To Display a Sub Menu

Use the arrow keys to move the cursor to the sub menu you want. Then press <Enter>. A “” pointer marks all sub menus.

3.4 Getting Help

Press F1 to pop up a small help window that describes the appropriate keys to use and the possible selections for the highlighted item. To exit the Help Window press <Esc>.

3.5 In Case of Problems

If, after making and saving system changes with Setup, you discover that your computer no longer is able to boot, the AMI BIOS supports an override to the NVRAM settings which resets your system to its defaults.

The best advice is to only alter settings which you thoroughly understand. To this end, we strongly recommend that you avoid making any changes to the chipset defaults. These defaults have been carefully chosen by both BIOS Vendor and your systems manufacturer to provide the absolute maximum performance and reliability. Even a seemingly small change to the chipset setup has the potential for causing you to use the override.
