1.1 Introduction
NOVA-PV-D5251/D4251 5.25" SBC
Figure 1-1: NOVA-PV-D5251/D4251
The NOVA-PV-D5251/D4251 is a 5.25” SBC with a Intel® Atom D525 or D425 CPU.
Up to two 2.0 GB 800 MHz DDR3 SDRAM SO-DIMMs are supported by the
NOVA-PV-D5251/D4251 (system max. 4 GB). The NOVA-PV-D5251/D4251 is designed
for fanless operation. The low power CPUs don't require active cooling and stay within
specified heat range using the included heatsink.
Storage on the board is handled by two SATA 3Gb/s ports for connecting hard drives,
optical drive or SSD. The CompactFlash® slot allows a Type II CompactFlash® card to be
installed.
The board has two graphics outputs. A VGA output connects to a traditional VGA monitor.
Two LVDS connectors support 24-bit dual-channel and 18-bit single-channel displays.
Eight USB 2.0 channels, one PCI socket, two PCIe Mini sockets and one PCI-104 slot
provide flexible expansion options. High Definition Audio (HDA) support ensures HDA
Page 2
devices can be easily implemented on the NOVA-PV-D5251/D4251. Serial device
connectivity is provided by four internal RS-232 and one internal RS-232/422/485
connectors.

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: T ouch a grounded conductor every few minute s to discharge
any excess static buildup.
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 NOVA-PV-D5251/D4251 is unpacked, please do the following:
Follow the antistatic guidelines above.
Make sure the packing box is facing upwards when opening.
Make sure all the packing list items are present.

The following diagrams show the NOVA-PV-D5251/D4251 external peripheral interface
connector (EPIC) panel. The NOVA-PV-D5251/D4251 EPIC panel consists of the
following:
2 x Ethernet connectors (G2L2 models)
4 x Ethernet connectors (G4 model)
1 x RS-232 serial port connector (G4 model)
The NOVA-PV-D5251/D4251 is equipped with two or four RJ-45 Ethernet controllers.
Each controller can connect to the LAN through one RJ-45 LAN connector.
The RJ-45 Ethernet connector has two status LEDs, one green and one yello w. The green
LED indicates activity on the port and the yellow LED indicates the speed. See

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 NOVA-PV-D5251/D4251. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It
is therefore critical to strictly adhere to the following anti-static precautions whenever the
NOVA-PV-D5251/D4251, 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.
NOVA-PV-D5251/D4251 5.25" SBC
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 NOVA-PV-D5251/D4251, place
it on an antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the
NOVA-PV-D5251/D4251.
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 NOVA-PV-D5251/D4251 is
installed. All installation notices pertaining to the installation of
NOVA-PV-D5251/D4251 should be strictly adhered to. Failing to
adhere to these precautions may lead to severe damage of the
NOVA-PV-D5251/D4251 and injury to the person installing the
motherboard.
WARNING:
The installation instructions described in this manual should be
carefully followed in order to prevent damage to the
NOVA-PV-D5251/D4251, NOVA-PV-D5251/D4251 components and
injury to the user.
Before and during the installation please DO the following:
Read the user manual:
oThe user manual provides a complete description of the installation
instructions and configuration options.
Wear an electrostatic discharge cuff (ESD):
oElectronic components are easily damaged by ESD. Wearing an ESD cuff
removes ESD from the body and helps prevent ESD damage.
Place on an antistatic pad:
oWhen installing or configuring the motherboard, place it on an antistatic
pad. This helps to prevent potential ESD damage.
Turn all power off:
oMake sure the product is disconnected from all power supplies and that
no electricity is being fed into the system.

4.5 Jumper Settings
NOTE:
A 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.
Before the NOVA-PV-D5251/D4251 is installed in the system, the jumpers must be set in
Figure 4-3: Jumper Locations

4.6 Chassis Installation
4.6.1 Airflow
WARNING:
Airflow is critical to the cooling of the CPU and other onboard
components. The chassis in which the NOVA-PV-D5251/D4251 must
have air vents to allow cool air to move into the system and hot air to
move out.
The NOVA-PV-D5251/D4251 must be installed in a chassis with ventilation holes on the
sides allowing airflow to travel 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
NOVA-PV-D5251/D4251 5.25" SBC
through the board surface.
