answer, gather all the information or questions that apply to your
problem, and with the product close at hand, call your dealer. Our
dealers are well trained and ready to give you the support you need
to get the most from your AAEON products. In fact, most problems
reported are minor and are able to be easily solved over the phone.

In addition, free technical support is available from AAEON
engineers every business day. We are always ready to give advice
on application requirements or specific information on the installa­tion and operation of any of our products.

Product Warranty

AAEON 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 shipment.

This warranty does not apply to any products which have been
repaired or altered by persons other than repair personnel autho­rized by AAEON, or which have been subject to misuse, abuse,
accident or improper installation. AAEON assumes no liability
under the terms of this warranty as a consequence of such events.

Because of AAEON's high quality-control standards and rigorous
testing, most of our customers never need to use our repair service.

CHAPTER

Chapter 1 General Information 1

Introduction

If your requirements for a single board computer consist of a half-sized
footprint, dual Ethernet, PISA interface and Intel quality logic chipset,
then SBC-659P is the solution. This half-sized single board computer is
ideal for internet data access server.

The dual Ethernet socket ensures consistent high server throughput
and transparent backup connections in corporate servers. Two RJ-45
connectors controlled by two Intel 82559GD chipsets offering 10/
100Base Ethernet interface.

The processors used on this single board computer may vary, however
to acquire the full potential of this embedded computer we suggest
Intel Celeron 533~766MHz or Pentium III offering 300~766MHz (With
system bus frequencies of 66 MHz), Celeron 800MHz-1.2GHz or
Pentium III 500-900MHz(With system bus frequencies of 100MHz), or
Pentium III 533MHz-1.26GHz (With system bus frequencies of
133MHz)and Tualatin CPU up to 1.26GHz . W e strongly recommand

using thermal grease when you add on an over 1GHz processors.The

logic chipset onboard is entirely Intel, controlling the LCD, LAN and
audio functions.

This half-sized board features an audio interface, supporting micro­phone in, line in/out, and CD in capabilities. Codec job tasking are
performed by ALC 200 chip. The VGA has a display memory size of
4MB, supporting non-interlaced CR T and up to 18/24/36/48-bit LCD

through panel link or L VDS module.

On the solder side we offer a 144-pin SODIMM socket providing a
maximum of 256MB of memory . A compact flash connector is provided
onboard. For expansion modules a PC/104 connector is integrated into
this half-sized card.

SBC-659P supports one IDE channel, dual floppy disk, four USB ports
onboard, two RS-232 serial ports and of which one can be configured
as RS-232/422/485. The single bi-directional parallel ports can support
SPP, ECP and EPP modes. The standard A T/ATXpower connector
enables this half sized SBC to be operated without a backplane if
necessary.

CHAPTER

Installation

This chapter describes how to set up the
main board hardware, including instruc­tions on setting jumpers and connecting
peripherals, switches, and indicators. Be
sure to read all the safety precautions
before you begin the installation proce­dure.

Chapter2 Installation 9

SBC-659P

Safety precautions

Warning! Always completely disconnect the power cord from

your chassis whenever you are working on it. Do
not make connections while the power is on
because sensitive electronic components can be
damaged by the sudden rush of power . 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. Use
a grounding wrist strap at all times. Place all electronic
components on a static-dissipative surface or in a static­ shielded bag when they are not in the chassis.

Removing the CPU

The SBC-659P all-in-one CPU module supports most Pentium III/
Celeron CPUs. The system's performance depends on the CPU you
choose. You can install or upgrade the CPU in the board's PGA
socket by following the procedures outlined below. If your system
has an existing CPU, you need to remove it before installing the
new CPU.

Removing a CPU

1. Disconnect power from the chassis, and unplug all connections
to the CPU card. Then, remove the CPU card from the chassis
by following the instructions in the user's manual for your
chassis.

2 . Lift the CPU out of the PGA socket. The old chip may be

difficult to remove. Y ou may find spray chip lubricant, designed
for pin-grid-array (PGA) devices, and a chip puller helpful.
These are available at electronics hobbyists' supply stores.

10 SBC-659P Installation GuideBC-599/596

Installing A CPU

T o install the CPU, follow the instructions that came with it. If no
documentation was provided, the general procedures for installing
a CPU are outlined below:

1 . Lubricate the pins on the CPU with lubricant for PGA devices.

This makes the CPU slide in much easier and greatly reduces
the chance of damaging the pins and other components.

2 . Carefully align the CPU so that it is parallel to the socket. Make

sure that the notch on the corner of the CPU matches the notch
on the inside of the socket.

3 . Gently push the CPU into the socket. There will probably be a

small gap between the CPU and the socket even when it is fully
seated. DO NOT USE EXCESSIVE FORCE!

When you install a new CPU, you may have to adjust other
settings on the board, such as CPU type, CPU clock, and PCI
speed, to accommodate it. Make sure that the settings are correct
for your CPU. Improper settings may damage the CPU.

Chapter2 Installation 11

SBC-659P

Setting jumpers

You configure your card 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 pins
1 and 2 or 2 and 3.

Open Closed Closed 2-3

The jumper settings are schematically depicted in this manual as
follows:

Open Closed Closed 2-3

A pair of needle-nose pliers may be helpful when working with
jumpers.

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.

Generally , you simply need a jumper to make most connections.

12 SBC-659P Installation GuideBC-599/596

Installing SODIMM

Supplementary information about DIMM

Y our SBC-659P can accept both regular and PC-100/133 SDRAM
DIMM Module. Onboard one 144-pin SODIMM socket supports
up to 256MB of memory .

Single-sided modules are typically 16 or 128MB; double-sided
modules are usually 32 or 256 MB.

Memory Installation Procedures

T o install SODIMM, first make sure you are holding the SODIMM
memory module at a 45 degree angle. Slowly slide the SODIMM
module along the plastic guides on both ends of the socket. Then
press the module right down into the socket, until you hear a click.
This is when the two handles have automatically locked the
memory module into the correct position of the SODIMM socket.
T o remove the memory module, just push both handles outward,
and the memory module will be ejected by the mechanism in the
socket.
