1.1 Introduction
Figure 1-1: eKINO-BT
The eKINO-BT is a Mini-ITX SBC that supports AUPS sub-system. It has an on-board
22nm Intel® Atom™ or Celeron® SoC, and supports one or two 204-pin 1333/1066 MHz
unbuffered DDR3L SDRAM SO-DIMMs.
eKINO-BT Mini-ITX SBC
The eKINO-BT provides two GbE interfaces through the Realtek RTL8111E PCIe GbE
controllers. In addition, the eKINO-BT comes with one VGA and two 18-bit/24-bit
dual-channel LVDS connectors for dual independent display.
Expansion and I/O include two USB 3.0 and two USB 2.0 on the rear panel, two USB 2.0
by pin header, two SATA 3Gb/s, four RS-232, one RS-422/485, one CFast card slot, one
PCIe Mini card slot and one PCIe x1 slot. High Definition Audio (HDA) support ensures
HDA devices can be easily implemented on the eKINO-BT.

2.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING!
Static electricity can destroy certain electronics. Make sure to follow the
ESD precautions to prevent damage to the product, and injury to the
user.
Make sure to adhere to the following guidelines:
Wear an anti-static wristband: Wearing an anti-static wristband can prevent
electrostatic discharge.
Self-grounding: Touch a grounded conductor every few minutes to discharge
any excess static buildup.
eKINO-BT Mini-ITX SBC
Use an anti-static pad: When configuring any circuit board, place it on an
anti-static mat.
Only handle the edges of the PCB: Don't touch the surface of the
motherboard. Hold the motherboard by the edges when handling.
2.2 Unpacking Precautions
When the eKINO-BT is unpacked, please do the following:
Follow the anti-static guidelines above.
Make sure the packing box is facing upwards when opening.
Make sure all the packing list items are present.

NOTE:
After installing Intel® graphics driver, the two LVDS ports will be set to
the primary display output ports and the VGA port will be disabled. The
reason for this is the eKINO-BT uses two CH7511B chips to convert
DP to LVDS and Intel® graphics driver recognizes the chips and the
two LVDS ports as two devices. In addition, the on-board processor
only supports dual display output, therefore, the display devices can
only be connected to the two LVDS ports, not the VGA port.
If there is a need to change the display output port or set to VGA port
only, please contact IEI for BIOS customization.

4.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during installation may result in
permanent damage to the product and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the eKINO-BT. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is therefore
critical to strictly adhere to the following anti-static precautions whenever the eKINO-BT,
or any other electrical component, is handled.
Wear an anti-static wristband: - Wearing a simple anti-static wristband can
help to prevent ESD from damaging the board.
Self-grounding:- Before handling the board touch any grounded conducting
material. During the time the board is handled, frequently touch any
conducting materials that are connected to the ground.
Use an anti-static pad: When configuring the eKINO-BT, place it on an
anti-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the eKINO-BT.
Only handle the edges of the PCB:-: When handling the PCB, hold it by the
edges.
4.2 Installation Considerations
NOTE:
The following installation notices and installation considerations should
be read and understood before the eKINO-BT is installed. All
installation notices pertaining to the installation of eKINO-BT should be
strictly adhered to. Failing to adhere to these precautions may lead to
severe damage of the eKINO-BT and injury to the person installing the
motherboard.
Page 57
eKINO-BT Mini-ITX SBC
WARNING:
The installation instructions described in this manual should be
carefully followed in order to prevent damage to the eKINO-BT,
eKINO-BT components and injury to the user.
Before and during the installation please DO the following:
Read the user manual:
o The user manual provides a complete description of the installation
instructions and configuration options.
Wear an electrostatic discharge cuff (ESD):
o Electronic components are easily damaged by ESD. Wearing an ESD cuff
removes ESD from the body and helps prevent ESD damage.
Place on an anti-static pad:
o When installing or configuring the motherboard, place it on an anti-static
pad. This helps to prevent potential ESD damage.
Turn all power off:
o Make sure the product is disconnected from all power supplies and that
no electricity is being fed into the system.
Before and during the installation of the eKINO-BT, DO NOT:
Remove any of the stickers on the PCB board. These stickers are required for
warranty validation.
Use the product before verifying all the cables and power connectors are
properly connected.
Allow screws to come in contact with the PCB circuit, connector pins, or its
components.
