Regulatory compliance
Products sold or transferred between companies or operated on company
premises (factory floor, laboratory) do not need CE, FCC or equivalent
certification. Boards or subsystems which cannot provide a useful function on
their own do not need certification.
Certification can only be granted to complete and operational systems. There
are authorized testing agencies, regulatory organizations and laboratories who
will issue certificates of compliance after system testing.
GE Intelligent Platforms designs and tests all their products for EMI/EMC
conformance. Where GE Intelligent Platforms supplies a complete/functional
system for use by end users a certificate will be cited in the manuals/documents
which are provided with the products.
Products manufactured by GE Intelligent Platforms should normally be suitable
for use in properly designed and produced customer equipment (system boxes
or operational systems) without any major redesign or additional filtering.
However, the systems might not conform to specific regulations once
assembled and used. The system integrator or installer must test for compliance
as required in his country or by the intended application and certify this to the
end user.
ESD/EMI issues
ESD (Electro-Static Discharge) and EMI (Electro-Magnetic Interference) issues
may show up in complete and operational systems. There are many ways to
avoid problems with these issues.
Any operational system with cables for I/O signals, connectivity or peripheral
devices provides an entry point for ESD and EMI. If GE Intelligent Platforms
does not manufacture the complete system, including enclosure and cables, it is
the responsibility of the system integrator and end user to protect their system
against potential problems. Filtering, optical isolation, ESD gaskets and other
measures might be required at the physical point of entry (enclosure wall of box
GE Intelligent Platforms – ASLP11 Hardware Reference Manual, Third Edition Page 4
Corporate addresses
or rack). For example it is state-of-the-art that protection can not be done at the
internal connector of an RTM if a cable is attached and routed outside the
enclosure. It has to be done at the physical entry point as specified above.
Products manufactured by GE Intelligent Platforms should normally be suitable
for use in properly designed and produced customer equipment (system boxes
or operational systems) without any major redesign. However, the systems
might be subject to problems and issues once assembled, cabled and used. The
end user, system integrator or installer must test for possible problems and in
some cases show compliance to local regulations as required in his country or
by the intended application.
Waste Disposal
The mark or symbol on any electrical or electronic product shows that this
product may not be disposed off in a trash bin. Such goods have to be returned
to the original vendor or to a properly authorized collection point.
Electric waste disposal symbol with black bar as explained below
The black bar underneath the waste bin symbol shows that the product was
placed on the market after 13 August 2005. Alternatively the date of ‘placed on
the market’ is shown in place of the bar symbol.

. Welcome
The TELUM ASLP11 AMC Single Board Computer is a fully IBM-AT
compatible stand-alone PC equipped with numerous functions and add-on
features on a minimized board size. This board is member of the GE Intelligent
Platforms TELUM family which includes a variety of different AMC type
boards, carriers and systems. This technical manual is designed to provide
information regarding the general use and application of the ASLP11 AMC
Single Board Computer, as well as detail the hardware design. Software
methods and programming information are also provided.
Chapter 1 gives a brief overview of the functions and features of the ASLP11.
Chapter 2 and 3 illustrate unpacking and installation procedures.
Chapter 4 describes all onboard and panel interfaces with pin assignments.
Chapter 5 contains notes on system resources.
Chapter 6 lists details of software interfaces.
Chapter 7 describes electrical and environmental specifications.
An appendix provides support and warranty information.
Please observe all safety instructions when handling GE Intelligent Platforms
products as outlined in the unpacking and installation chapters.
The following documents also cover items relevant to the ASLP11 AMC Single
Board Computer. All documents are included as files on the Technical Product
Information CD-ROM.
• ASLP11 User’s Manual for AMIBIOS8 Setup
• ASLP11 Board Specific Hardware Programmer’s Manual
• AMIBIOS8 Check Point and Beep Code List
• AMIBIOS8 Error Messages
• Intelligent Platform Management Interface for ASLP11 User’s Manual
Typographic Conventions
This manual uses the following notation conventions:
GE Intelligent Platforms – ASLP11 Hardware Reference Manual, Third Edition Page 7
Product Properties
• Italics (sometimes additional in blue color) emphasize words in text or
documentation or chapter titles or web addresses if underlined.
• Hexadecimal values (base 16) are represented as digits followed by “h”,
for example: 0Ch.
• Hexadecimal values (base 16) are represented as digits preceded by “H”,
for example: H0C.
• Hexadecimal values (base 16) are represented as digits preceded by “$”,
for example: $0C.
• Binary values (base 2) are represented as digits followed by “b”, for
example 01b
• The use of a “#” (hash) suffix to a signal name indicates an active low
signal. The signal is either true when it is at a logic zero level (voltage
close to 0 V) or the signal initiates actions on a high-to-low transition.
• The use of a “\” (backslash) prefix to a signal name indicates an active low
signal. The signal is either true when it is at a logic zero level (voltage
close to 0 V) or the signal initiates actions on a high-to-low transition.
• Text in Courier font indicates a command entry or output from an GE
Intelligent Platforms embedded PC product using the built-in character set.
• Notes, warning symbols and cautions call attention to essential
information.
Certification
The product or products described in this technical manual cannot be operated
by themselves. They are components for integration into operational systems or
add-ons to such systems. The products have been designed to meet relevant
regulatory standards like FCC and CE. As mandated by these standards
conformance to these standards can only be certified for complete operational
systems. This has to be done by the end-user or by the systems integrator in
their operational systems. GE Intelligent Platforms have tested some products
in their own systems. Upon request information is available which products
have been tested and about the specific environment under which GE
Intelligent Platforms has tested these components.
Altitude
Altitude, air pressure and ambient temperature influence the thermal operation
of the components described in this manual. They have been developed and
tested at about 500 m (1650 ft.) above sea level at a typical ambient
temperature of 20 °C (68 °F). Because of only marginal variations within a
limited range of altitudes these products operate as specified within altitudes
from sea level to 1000 m (3300 ft.). GE Intelligent Platforms can assist the user
of these components in planning operation outside this altitude range upon
request.
Options
This manual describes the basic product plus all options. Your product may not
have all options implemented. Please verify with your purchase contract which
options are implemented. Descriptions of options which are not implemented
obviously do not apply to your product.
