2.4.2 <Memory installation>
FS-A71 has two 240-pin DDR2 DIMM support up to 3GB of memory capacity. The memory
frequency supports 533/667MHz. Only Non-ECC supported unbuffered memory is
supported only. Supports interleaved addressing in dual-channel memory configurations
even when the two channels have unequal amounts of memory populated. This is calle d
®
Intel
Flex Memory Technology. Flex memory provides higher performance with different
sized channel populations than “Asymmetric” mode (where no interleaving is used) by
allowing some interleaving.

To setup the LCD, you need the component below:
1. A panel with LVDS interfaces.
2. An inverter for panel’s backlight power.
3. A LCD cable and an inverter cable.
For the cables, please follow the pin assignm ent of the connector to make a cable, because
every panel has its own pin assignment, so we do not provide a standard cable; please find a
local cable manufacture to make cables.
LCD Installation Guide:
1. Preparing the FS-A71, LCD panel and the backlight inverter.
2. Please check the datasheet of the panel to see the voltage of the panel, and set the
jumper JVLCD to +12V or +5V or +3.3V.
3. You would need a LVDS type cable.

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
