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

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.

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 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.

NOVA-PV-D5251/D4251 5.25" SBC

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:
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 antistatic pad:
o When installing or configuring the motherboard, place it on an antistatic
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.
Page 63
Page 80
Before and during the installation of the NOVA-PV-D5251/D4251 DO NOT:
DO NOT remove any of the stickers on the PCB board. These stickers are
required for warranty validation.
DO NOT use the product before verifying all the cables and power connectors
are properly connected.
DO NOT allow screws to come in contact with the PCB circuit, connector pins,
or its components.

4.3 SO-DIMM Installation

To install an SO-DIMM, please follow the steps below and refer to Figure 4-1.
NOVA-PV-D5251/D4251 5.25" SBC
Page 64
Figure 4-1: SO-DIMM Installation
Step 1: Open the SO-DIMM socket handles. Open the two handles outwards as far as
they can. See
Step 2: Align the SO-DIMM with the socket. Al ign the SO-DIMM so the notch on the
memory lines up with the notch on the memory socket. See
Step 3: Insert the SO-DIMM. Once aligned, press down until the SO-DIMM is properly
seated. Clip the two handles into place. See
Figure 4-1.
Figure 4-1.
Figure 4-1.
Page 81
NOVA-PV-D5251/D4251 5.25" SBC
Step 4: Removing a SO-DIMM. To remove a SO-DIMM, push both handles outward.
The memory module is ejected by a mechanism in the socket.Step 0:

4.4 CompactFlash® Installation

NOTE:
Both CompactFlash® Type I and Type II cards are supported.
To install the CompactFlash® card, please follow the steps below.
Step 1: Locate the CF card slot.
Step 2: Align the CF card. Align the CompactFlash® card. The label side should be
facing away from the board. The grooves on the CompactFlash® slot ensure that the card cannot be inserted the wrong way.
Step 3: Insert the CF card. Push until the CompactFlash® card is firmly seated in the
slot. See
Figure 4-2.

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
Page 66
accordance with the desired configuration. The jumpers on the NOVA-PV-D5251/D4251 are listed in

Jumper Location:
If the NOVA-PV-D5251/D4251 fails to boot due to improper BIOS settings, the clear CMOS jumper clears the CMOS data and resets the system BIOS information. To do this, use the jumper cap to close pins 2 and 3 for a few seconds then reinstall the jumper clip back to pins 1 and 2.
If the “CMOS Settings Wrong” message is displayed during the boot up process, the fault may be corrected by pressing the F1 to enter the CMOS Setup menu. Do one of the following:

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.

4.6.2 Motherboard Installation

To install the NOVA-PV-D5251/D4251 motherboard into the chassis please refer to the reference material that came with the chassis.
