2.4 Memory Support
Up to 1GB of DDR 333 MHz SO-DIMM SDRAM is supported.
2.5 PCI Bus Interface Support
The GeodeLink PCI South Bridge (GLPCI_SB) provides a PCI interface for the Geode
CS5536 system chipset. The GLPCI_SB acts as a PCI master or PCI slave in providing
PCI transactions to and from the Geode CS5536 system chipset and the PCI bus. A
special serial interface to the Geode LX processor, the CPU Interface Serial (CIS) assists
in the transfer of information between the Geode CS5536 companion device and the
Geode LX processor.
PM-LX-800 CPU Card
The interface is compliant to PCI specification v2.2 and may operate at up to 66 MHz.
Within a PCI burst, zero wait state operation is achieved. The PCI interface supports
programmable IDSEL selection, and can handle inbound transactions immediately after
system reset.
2.6 Ethernet
The Realtek RTL8100C(L) is a single-chip Fast Ethernet controller. It is enhanced with an
ACPI (Advanced Configuration Power Interface) management function for PCI in order to
provide efficient power management for advanced operating systems with OSPM
(Operating System Directed Power Management). Realtek RTL8100C features are listed

CPU and board temperatures (by the corresponding embedded sensors)
2.11 BIOS
The PM-LX-800 uses a licensed copy of Phoenix Award BIOS. The features of the flash
BIOS used are listed below:
SMIBIOS (DMI) compliant
PM-LX-800 CPU Card
Console redirection function support
PXE (Pre-Boot Execution Environment ) support
USB booting support
2.12 Operating Temperature and Temperature Control
The maximum and minimum operating temperatures for the PM-LX-800 motherboard are
listed below.
Minimum Operating Temperature: 0ºC (32°F)

3.2.4 Battery Connector
CN Label: BT1
CN Type: 2-pin header
CN Pinouts: See Table 3-6
CN Location: See Figure 3-6
This battery connector connects to an externally mounted 3V, Lithium, cell coin battery
(VARTA CR2032). The life expectancy of the battery is approximately 7 years. Depending
on the working condition, the life expectancy may be shorter.
Replacing the battery is not a user operation.
If the battery starts to weaken and lose voltage, contact a vendor or IEI for a replacement
module. Dispose of the used battery properly. Contact the local waste disposal agency for
disposal instructions. Do not dispose of a used battery with normal household waste.
Page 39
WARNING!
1. Keep batteries away from children.
2. There is a danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced.
3. Only a certified module from IEI can be used as a replacement.
4. Do not expose the battery to excessive heat or fire.
5. If the battery shows signs of leakage, contact a local vendor or IEI immediately.

3.3 Onboard Jumpers
NOTE:
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.

The PM-LX-800 CPU Board has one onboard jumper (Table 3-2).

NOTE:
The PM-LX-800 does not provide a “Clear CMOS” configuration jumper. If the system
fails to boot due to improper BIOS settings, reset the CMOS contents by
disconnecting and reconnecting the BT1 battery connector. Use small-sized needle
nose pliers to carefully disconnect and reconnect the BT1 battery connector.

read and understood before the motherboard is installed. All installation
notices pertaining to the installation of the motherboard should be strictly
adhered to. Failing to adhere to these precautions may lead to severe
damage of the motherboard and injury to the person installing the
motherboard.
4.1.1 Installation Notices
Before and during the installation of the PM-LX-800 motherboard:
Read the user manual
o The user manual provides a complete description of the PM-LX-800
motherboard, installation instructions and configuration options.
Wear an electrostatic discharge cuff (ESD)
o Electronic components are easily damaged by ESD. Wearing an ESD cuff
will remove ESD from your body and help to prevent ESD damage.
Place the motherboard on an antistatic pad
o When installing or configuring the motherboard, place it on an antistatic
pad. This will help to prevent potential ESD damage.
Turn off all power to the PM-LX-800 motherboard
Before and during the installation of the PM-LX-800 motherboard, DO NOT:
Page 66
o When working with the motherboard, make sure that it is disconnected
from all power supplies and that no electricity is being fed into the system.
Remove any of the stickers from the PCB. These stickers are required for
warranty validation.
Use the product before you have verified that all cables and power connectors
are properly connected.
Allow screws to contact the PCB, connector pins, or its components.
IEI® Technology, Corp.
4.2 Unpacking
NOTE:
If any of the items listed below are missing when the PM-LX-800 motherboard
is unpacked, do not proceed with the installation and contact the reseller or
PM-LX-800 CPU Card
vendor from whom the motherboard was purchased.
4.2.1 Unpacking Precautions
Unpack the PM-LX-800 motherboard before installing it. Some components on the
PM-LX-800 are very sensitive to static electricity and can be damaged by a sudden rush of
power. Follow these precautions to protect the motherboard from damage:
Ground yourself to remove any static charge before touching the motherboard
by wearing a grounded wrist strap at all times or by frequently touching any
conducting material that is connected to the ground.
Handle the motherboard by its edges. Do not touch the IC chips, leads, or
circuitry if not necessary.
Do not place a PCB on top of an anti-static bag. Only the inside of the bag is safe from
static discharge.

4.3.17 Airflow Consideration
Although the embedded board can operate without active cooling, it is still necessary to
install the board in a chassis with ventilation holes on the sides allowing airflow to travel
Page 75
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.
4.4 Jumper Configuration
The PM-LX-800 motherboard has one onboard jumpers:
COM3 RS422/RS485 Select (JP1)
Make sure the jumper settings are properly configured before the PM-LX-800

configurations, refer to Section 3.3.
4.5 Chassis Installation
The motherboard can be mounted into a chassis only after the CPU and the SO-DIMM
module has been installed, the internal peripheral connectors have been connected to the
peripheral devices and the jumpers have been configured.
