2.2 Unpacking Precautions
Some components of ETX-DB-ATX are very sensitive to static
electric charges and can be damaged by a sudden rush of
power. To protect it from unintended damage, be sure to note
these precautions:
Ground yourself to remove any static charge before touching
the ETX-DB-ATX. You can do it by using a grounded wrist
strap at all times or by frequently touching any conducting
materials that is connected to the ground.
Handle your ETX-DB-ATX by its edges. Don’t touch IC chips,
leads or circuitry if not necessary.
Do not plug any connector or jumper while the power is on.
2.3 LCD Vcc Voltage Selector
The LCD interface connector CN1, CN2, CN6 can provide 5V
or 3.3V power supply by selecting the JP4 to meet the different
LCD requirement.

2.4 Clear CMOS Setup
If you need to clear the CMOS Setup (for example, forgot the
password, you should clear the setup and then set the
password again.), you should close the JP6 about 3 seconds,
then open it again. Set back to normal operation mode by open
JP6.

2.5 WatchDog Timeout Active Selector
Reading I/O port 443H enables the WatchDog Timer. It should
be triggered before the time-out period ends, otherwise it will
assume the program operation is abnormal and will issue a
reset signal or an interrupt signal. The Watch-Dog Timer is
disabled by reading port 043/843H.detail information on
WatchDog Timer Refer to Appendix A
For IDE HDD connection, The ETX-DB-ATX was designed
with two 2.54mm standard IDE connector (CN13, CN14)
CN13: 40-pin Primary IDE Interface Connector
CN14: 40-pin Secondly IDE Interface Connector
3.7 Parallel Port
This port is usually connected to a printer, The ETX-DB-ATX
includes an on-board parallel port (CN11), accessed through a
25 pin D-sub connector.

The ETX-DB-ATX built-in RJ45 LAN connector is for
10/100Mbps Ethernet. The onboard LAN Chip is Intel
82551QM or RealTek RTL8100BL.(IDSEL# = AD26, INTx# =
INTA#, REQx# = REQ1#, GNTx# = GNT1#)
A 6-pin mini DIN connector (CN6) is located on the mounting
bracket for easy connection to a keyboard or PS/2 mouse. The
card comes with a cable to convert from the 6-pin mini-DIN
connector to two 6-pin mini-DIN connector for keyboard and
mouse connection
