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 that have been repaired or altered by people
other than repair personnel authorized by Avalue, or that have been subject of 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

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:

1.4 Manual Objectives

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

We have tried to include as much information as possible but we have not duplicated
information that is already being 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 interface
with EBM-PNV 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 concerning this manual and want to inform
us of these, please contact our Customer Service department with the relevant details.

2.2 Installation Procedure

This chapter provides you the instructions on how to setup your system.

1. Turn off the power supply.

2. Insert the SODIMM module (be careful with the orientation).

3. Insert all external cables for hard disk, floppy, keyboard, mouse, USB etc. except for flat
panel. A CRT monitor must be connected in order to change CMOS settings to support
flat panel.

4. Connect power supply to the board via the ATXPWR.

5. Turn on the power.

6. Enter the BIOS setup by pressing the delete key during boot up. Use the “LOAD BIOS
DEFAULTS” feature. The Integrated Peripheral Setup and the Standard CMOS Setup
Window must be entered and configured correctly to match the particular system
configuration.

7. If TFT panel display is to be utilized, make sure the panel voltage is correctly set before
connecting the display cable and turning on the power.

Note: Make sure the heat sink and the CPU top surface are in total contact to

avoid CPU overheating problem that would cause the system to hang or
show instability.

 Align the notch key on the module with the rib on the slot.
 Firmly press the modules into the socket which automatically snaps into the mounting

notch. Do not force the SODIMM module in with extra force as the SODIMM module
only fits in one direction.

 To remove SODIMM modules, simultaneously push the two ejector tabs outward,

then pull out the SODIMM module.

Note:

(1) Please do not change any DDR3 SDRAM parameter in BIOS setup to increase

your system‟s performance without acquiring technical information in advance.

(2) Static electricity can damage the electronic components of the computer or

optional boards. Before proceeding, ensure that you are discharged of static
electricity by briefly touching a grounded metal object.

2.3 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.

User’s Manual

EBM-PNV 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 CMOS 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> immediately after switching the system on, or
By pressing the <Del> key when the following message appears briefly at the bottom of the
screen during the POST (Power On Self Test).

Press DEL 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.

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> or the F1
key again.

3.5 In Case of Problems

If, after making and saving system changes with Setup, you discover that your computer is
no longer able to boot, the AMI BIOS supports an override to the CMOS 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 Award 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.
