1.1 Introduction

Figure 1-1: WAFER-US15WP

WAFER-US15WP 3.5" SBC

The WAFER-US15WP is a 3.5" SBC with a 1.1 GHz Intel® Atom™ Z510P or 1.6 GHz
Intel® Atom™ Z530P CPU.

The WAFER-US15WP is designed for fanless operation. The low power CPUs don't
require active cooling and stay within specified heat range using the included cooling
solution.

Storage on the board is handled by an IDE port for connecting a hard drive, optical drive or
SSD. The CompactFlash® slot on the underside allows a Type I/II CompactFlash® card to
be installed.

The board has two graphics outputs. A VGA output connects to a traditional VGA monitor
and the LVDS connector is for an LCD panel.

Other slots and connectors include a PCIe Mini cards slot, RS-232, RS-232/422/485,
Gigabit Ethernet, audio input and output and digital I/O.

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 WAFER-US15WP. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is
therefore critical to strictly adhere to the following anti-static precautions whenever the
WAFER-US15WP, 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.

WAFER-US15WP 3.5" 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 WAFER-US15WP, place it on

an antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the
WAFER-US15WP .

 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 WAFER-US15WP is installed. All
installation notices pertaining to the installation of WAFER-US15WP

Page 34

should be strictly adhered to. Failing to adhere to these precautions
may lead to severe damage of the WAFER-US15WP and injury to the
person installing the motherboard.

WAFER-US15WP 3.5" SBC

WARNING:

The installation instructions described in this manual should be
carefully followed in order to prevent damage to the WAFER-US15WP,
WAFER-US15WP 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.

Before and during the installation of the WAFER-US15WP 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.

Page 35

4.3 Jumper Settings

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 jumper.

WAFER-US15WP 3.5" SBC

Before the WAFER-US15WP is installed in the system, the jumpers must be set in
accordance with the desired configuration. The jumpers on the WAFER-US15WP are
listed in
