Asynchronous Access to Two Data Registers and One status Register
Software compatibility with the 8042
Support PS/2 mouse
Support both interrupt and polling modes
Fast Gate A20 and Hardware Keyboard Reset
6 MHz, 8 MHz, 12 MHz, or 16 MHz operating frequency
2.6.4.7 Super I/O Infrared
The Super I/O has dedicated infrared (IrDA) pins that are interfaced to an IrDA connector.
The IrDA connector supports IrDA version 1.0 SIR protocol with maximum baud rate up to
115.2K bps.
2.6.5 Serial Port Chipset
An onboard Fintek F81216DG chipset provides access to four additional UART serial
ports (COM3, COM4, COM5 and COM6). UART includes 16-byte send/receive FIFO. The
Fintek serial port chipset is interfaced to the Southbridge chipset through the LPC bus.
Some of the features of the Fintek chipset are listed below:
A cooling fan and heat sink must be installed on the CPU. Thermal paste must be
Page 32
smeared on the lower side of the heat sink before it is mounted on the CPU. Heat sinks
are also mounted on the Northbridge and Southbridge chipsets to ensure the operating
temperature of these chips remain low.

3.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the
IMBA-690AM2 may result in permanent damage to the IMBA-690AM2
and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the IMBA-690AM2. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is therefo re
critical that whenever the IMBA-690AM2, or any other electrical component is handled, the
following anti-static precautions are strictly adhered to.
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 IMBA-690AM2, place it on an
antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the
IMBA-690AM2.
Only handle the edges of the PCB: When handling the PCB, hold the PCB
by the edges.
3.2 Unpacking
3.2.1 Unpacking Precautions
When the IMBA-690AM2 is unpacked, please do the following:
Follow the anti-static precautions outlined in Section 3.1.
Make sure the packing box is facing upwards so the IMBA-690AM2 does not
fall out of the box.
Make sure all the components shown in Section 3.3 are present.
