1.2 A200 Motherboard Connectors
1.2.1 A200 Overview
The A200 single board computer (SBC) comes with both a motherboard and an expansion
daughterboard the POM-121IB. The POM-121IB is mounted on the motherboard, over the
PCMCIA flash card slot. The connectors on both these boards are described completely
below.
1.2.2 A200 Motherboard Connectors
Figure 1-1 shows the connectors on the front side of the A200 motherboard.

3.4 Onboard Jumpers
NOTE:
A jumper is a metal bridge that is used to
close an electrical circuit. 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/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

4.1 Installation Considerations
NOTE:
The following installation notices and installation considerations should be
read and understood before the CPU card is installed. All installation
notices pertaining to the installation of the CPU card should be strictly
adhered to. Failing to adhere to these precautions may lead to severe
damage of the CPU card and injury to the person installing the CPU card.
4.1.1 Installation Notices
Before and during the installation of the A200 motherboard, please do the following:
Read the user manual
o The user manual provides a complete description of the A200
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 CPU Card on an antistatic pad
o When you install or configure the CPU Card, place it on an antistatic pad.
This will help to prevent potential ESD damage.
Turn off all power to the A200 motherboard
o When working with the CPU card, 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 A200 motherboard DO NOT:
remove any of the stickers on the PCB board. These stickers are required for
warranty validation.
use the product before you have verified that all cables and power connectors
78

are properly connected.
allow screws to come in contact with the PCB circuit, connector pins, or its
components.
4.2 Unpacking
NOTE:
If any of the items listed below are missing when you unpack the A200
CPU card, do not proceed with the installation and contact the reseller or
vendor you purchased the CPU card from.
A200C-800Z-R10 Motherboard
4.2.1 Unpacking Precautions
Some components on A200 are very sensitive to static electricity and can be damaged by
a sudden rush of power. To protect it from being damaged during the unpacking process,
follow these precautions:
Ground yourself to remove any static charge before touching your A200 . You
can do so by wearing a grounded wrist strap at all times or by frequently
touching any conducting materials that is connected to the ground.
Handle your A200 by its edges. Do not touch the IC chips, leads or circuitry
unneccessarily.
Do not place a PCB on top of an anti-static bag. Only the inside of the bag is safe from
static discharge.
4.2.2 Checklist
When you unpack the A200 , please make sure that your package contains the following
items.
1x A200 single board computer
1x mini jumper pack
1x ATA33 HDD cable
1x Power cable
1-79

If one or more of these items are missing, please contact the reseller or vendor you
purchased the A200 CPU card from and do not proceed any further with the installation.
4.3 A200 Motherboard Installation
WARNING!
Never run the A200 without an appropriate heatsink and cooler that can be
ordered from IEI Technology or purchased separately.
WARNING!
Please note that the installation instructions described in this manual should
be carefully followed in order to avoid damage to the A200 components and
injury to you.
WARNING!
When installing electronic components onto the A200 always take the following
anti-static precautions in order to prevent ESD damage to your A200 and other
electronic components like the CPU and DIMM modules
4.3.1 Preinstalled Components
The components listed below are preinstalled on the A200.

To install the A200, the following components must be installed or connected to the A200
DIMM modules
Peripheral devices
4.3.3 DIMM Module Installation
4.3.3.1 Purchasing the Memory Module
When you purchase your DIMM modules, the following considerations should be taken
into account:
Each DIMM module can support a memory chip with a maximum size of 1GB
Each DIMM module can have a maximum speed of 333MHz
A200C-800Z-R10 Motherboard
It is recommended that you use memory modules of identical brand, size,
chips, and speed.
DIMMs must use the same density memory chips
Both DIMMs must use the same DRAM bus width
Both DIMMs must be either single-sided or dual-sided.
4.3.3.2 DIMM Module Installation
The A200 motherboard has two DDR SDRAM DIMM sockets. To install the DIMM
modules, follow the instructions below.
Step 1: Pull the two white handles on either side of the DIMM socket down.
Step 2: Align the DIMM module with the DIMM socket making sure the matching pins
are correctly aligned.
Step 3: Insert the DIMM module slowly. Once you are sure it is correctly inserted, push
down firmly. The white handles on either side of the socket will move back up
and lock the module into the socket. Step 0:
4.3.4 Peripheral Device Connection
Cables provided by IEI that connect peripheral devices to the board are listed in Table 4-1.
Cables not included in the kit must be separately purchased.

4.3.4.1 IDE Disk Drive Connector (IDE1)
The cable used to connect the A200 to the IDE HDD is a standard 44-pin ATA33 flat cable.
To connect an IDE device to the A200 follow the instructions below.
Step 1: Find the ATA33 flat cable in the kit that came with the A200.
Step 2: Connect one end of the cable to the IDE1 connector on the A200. A keyed pin
on the IDE connectors prevents it from being connected incorrectly.
Step 3: Locate the red wire on the other side of the cable that corresponds to the pin 1
connector.
Step 4: Connect the other side of the cable to the IDE device making sure that the pin 1
cable corresponds to pin 1 on the connector.Step 0:
NOTE:
When two EIDE disk drives are connected together, back-end jumpers on
the drives must be used to configure one drive as a master and the other as
a slave.
4.3.4.2 Compact Flash Connector
The compact flash connector is located on the bottom of the daughter expansion board. If
a user wishes to implement the CF connector for CD drive connectivity, please follow
these instructions.

Step 2: Connect the other end of the same ribbon cable in Step 1 to the IDE1 connector
on the expansion daughterboard. Step 0:
4.4 Chassis Installation
After the DIMM modules have been installed and after the internal peripheral connectors
have been connected to the peripheral devices and the jumpers have been configured,
the A200 can be mounted into chassis.
To mount a board into a chassis, please refer to the chassis user guide that came with the
product.

5.1 Introduction
A licensed copy of AMI BIOS is preprogrammed into the ROM BIOS. The BIOS setup
program allows users to modify the basic system configuration. This chapter describes
how to access the BIOS setup program and the configuration options you may change.
5.1.1 Starting Setup
The AMI BIOS is activated when you turn on the computer. The setup program can be
activated in one of two ways.
1. Press the D
2. Press the D
