Introduction
The ANTARES is a 5.25″ single board computer based on the new Mobile Intel® QM57 Express
Chipset. It is designed to offer high performance with low power dissipation. The ANTARES is
available with Intel
restricted ventilation.
Traditional embedded system requirements are well catered for with features such as:
• Watchdog.
• GPIO.
• Four serial ports
• An integrated SD/MMCFlash port for accessing storage cards.
• Mini PCIe expansion for wireless modules such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and cellular modems.
Newer features such as; virtualisation, hyperthreading, remote system management via Intel’s AMT
feature (available even if the operating system has crashed), and disk encryption capability using
Intel’s AT-d technology, provide solutions for many of the key issues being considered in newer
embedded designs. Coupled to a wide operating temperature range, options for fanless operation, and
long term chipset support from Intel’s embedded division, the ANTARES is ideal for applications in
commercial, industrial and transportation projects requiring high performance computing within a
rugged and reliable platform.

Installation
Installation considerations
The following installation notices and installation considerations should be read and understood before
the ANTARES is installed. All installation notices pertaining to the installation of the ANTARES should
be strictly adhered to. Failing to adhere to these precautions may lead to severe damage of the
ANTARES and injury to the person installing the motherboard.
Installation notices
The installation instructions described in this manual should be carefully followed in order to prevent
damage to the ANTARES, ANTARES components and injury to the user.
Before and during the installation please DO the following:
• Read the user manual. The user manual provides a complete description of the ANTARES
installation instructions and configuration options.
Installation
• Wear an electrostatic discharge (ESD) cuff. Electronic components are easily damaged by
ESD. Wearing an ESD cuff removes ESD from the body and helps prevent ESD damage.
• Place the ANTARES on an antistatic pad. When installing or configuring the motherboard,
place it on an antistatic pad. This helps to prevent potential ESD damage.
• Turn off all power to the ANTARES. When working with the ANTARES, make sure that it is
disconnected from all power supplies and that no electricity is being fed into the system.
Before and during the installation of the ANTARES DO NOT:
• Remove any of the stickers on the PCB board. These stickers are required for warranty
validation.
• Use the product before verifying all the cables and power connectors are properly connected.
• Allow screws to come in contact with the PCB circuit, connector pins, or its components.
Installation Checklist
The following checklist is provided to ensure the ANTARES is properly installed:
• A compatible memory module is properly inserted into the slot.
• The jumpers have been properly configured.
• The ANTARES is inserted into a chassis with adequate ventilation.
• The correct power supply is being used.
• The following devices are properly connected:
- SATA drives.
- Power supply.
- Display output.
- USB keyboard and mouse.
• Fan and heatsinks are properly installed.

ANTARES - user manual
Memory module installation
The ANTARES uses standard DDR3 DIMM ECC or non ECC memory modules. If only one memory
module is used, this can be plugged in to either memory slot 1 or 2.
To install a DIMM memory module into a DIMM socket, please follow the steps below:
1 Locate the DIMM sockets by placing the ANTARES on an anti-static pad with the solder side facing
up.
2 Align the DIMM module with the socket. The DIMM module must be oriented in such a way that the
notch in the middle of the DIMM module is aligned with the plastic bridge in the socket.
3 Insert the DIMM module by pushing it into the socket.
When the DIMM module is plugged in properly, the DIMM socket arms are closed, securing the
DIMM in the socket.
Jumper settings
Before the ANTARES is installed in the system, the jumpers must be set in accordance with the
desired configuration.
Information:
A jumper is a metal bridge used to close an electrical circuit. It consists of two or three metal pins and a
small metal clip (often protected by a plastic cover) that slides over the pins to connect them. To
CLOSE/SHORT a jumper means connecting the pins of the jumper with the plastic clip and to OPEN a
jumper means removing the plastic clip from a jumper.
Default jumper configuration: no jumpers fitted.
Clear CMOS Jumper
Jumper Label: JP1
If the ANTARES fails to boot due to improper BIOS settings, the clear CMOS jumper clears the CMOS
data and resets the system BIOS information. To do this, use the jumper cap to close pins 1 and 2 for
a few seconds then remove the jumper and place it back to pin 1.
If the “CMOS Settings Wrong” message is displayed during the boot up process, the fault may be
corrected by pressing the F1 button to enter the CMOS Setup menu. Do one of the following:
• Enter the correct CMOS setting.
• Load Optimal Defaults.
• Load Failsafe Defaults.
After having done one of the above, save the changes and exit the CMOS Setup menu.
The clear CMOS jumper settings (JP1) are shown in the following table.

Short 1 - 2 Clear CMOS setup.
Open 1 - 2 Keep CMOS setup (default).

Chassis installation
Airflow
Airflow is critical to the cooling of the CPU and other on-board components. The chassis used to house
the ANTARES must have air vents to allow cool air to move into the system and hot air to move out.
The ANTARES must be installed in a chassis with ventilation holes on the sides allowing airflow to
travel through the heat sink surface. In a system with an individual power supply unit, the cooling fan of
a power supply can also help generate airflow through the board surface.
Please contact a Eurotech sales representative or visit the Eurotech website to find out more about the
available enclosures. See Eurotech Group Worldwide Presence

Watchdog
Hardware watchdog
A MAX6369 hardware watchdog is fitted on the ANTARES board. The watchdog is disabled by default.
A watchdog timeout is selectable between 1ms and 60s and is control by QM57 GPIO pins.
The watchdog connections are as follows:
QM57 MAX6369 pin Description
GPIO14 SET0 Set Zero. Logic input for selecting startup delay and watchdog
timeout periods. See table below for timing details. (Pulled up by
default).
GPIO28 SET1 Set One. Logic input for selecting startup delay and watchdog
timeout periods. See table below for timing details. (Pulled up by
default).
GPIO57 SET2 Set Two. Logic input for selecting startup delay and watchdog timeout
periods. See table below for timing details. (Pulled down by default).
GPIO8 WDI Watchdog Input. If WDI remains either high or low for the duration of
the watchdog timeout period (tWD), WDO triggers a pulse. The
internal watchdog timer clears whenever a WDO is asserted or
whenever WDI sees a rising or falling edge. (Pulled up by default).
SYS_RESET# WDO Board Reset.
The watchdog timeout settings are as follows:
