1.1 Introduction
Figure 1-1: WAFER-US15WP2
The WAFER-US15WP2 is a 3.5" SBC with a 1.1 GHz Intel® Atom™ Z510P or 1.6 GHz
Intel® Atom™ Z530P CPU.
WAFER-US15WP2 3.5" SBC
The WAFER-US15WP2 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 a SATA port for connecting a hard drive, optical drive
or SSD. The CompactFlash® slot on the underside allows a Type I CompactFlash® card
to be installed.
The board has three graphics outputs. A VGA output connects to a traditional VGA
monitor and two LVDS connectors can be connected to LCD panels.
Other slots and connectors include a PCIe Mini cards slot, RS-232, RS-232/422/485,
Gigabit Ethernet, USB ports, 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-US15WP2. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is
therefore critical to strictly adhere to the following anti-static precautions whenever the
WAFER-US15WP2, 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 WAFER-US15WP2, place it on
an antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the
WAFER-US15WP2.
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-US15WP2 is installed. All
installation notices pertaining to the installation of WAFER-US15WP2
should be strictly adhered to. Failing to adhere to these precautions
may lead to severe damage of the WAFER-US15WP2 and injury to the
person installing the motherboard.
Page 43
Page 56
WAFER-US15WP2 3.5" SBC
WARNING:
The installation instructions described in this manual should be
carefully followed in order to prevent damage to the
WAFER-US15WP2, WAFER-US15WP2 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.
Before and during the installation of the WAFER-US15WP2 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.

WAFER-US15WP2 3.5" SBC
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.
Before the WAFER-US15WP2 is installed in the system, the jumpers must be set in
accordance with the desired configuration. The jumpers on the WAFER-US15WP2 are
listed in
If the WAFER-US15WP2 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:
Enter the correct CMOS setting
Load Optimal Defaults
Load Failsafe Defaults.
Table 4-2
Figure 4-1
See
WAFER-US15WP2 3.5" SBC
After having done one of the above, save the changes and exit the CMOS Setup menu.
Set both of the jumpers select AT or ATX power mode for the WAFER-US15WP2. AT
power mode limits the system to on/off. ATX allows the system to use various power
saving states and enter a standby state, so the system can be turned on remotely over a
network. The settings on both jumpers should be the same.

Auto-Detected Drive Parameters
The “grayed-out” items in the left frame are IDE disk drive parameters automatically
detected from the firmware of the selected IDE disk drive. The drive parameters are listed
as follows:
Device: Lists the device type (e.g. hard disk, CD-ROM etc.)
Type: Indicates the type of devices a user can manually select
Vendor: Lists the device manufacturer
Size: List the storage capacity of the device.
LBA Mode: Indicates whether the LBA (L ogical Block Addressing) is a method
of addressing data on a disk drive is supported or not.
Block Mode: Block mode boosts IDE drive performance by increasing the
amount of data transferred. Only 512 bytes of data can be transferred per
interrupt if block mode is not used. Block mode allows transfers of up to 64 KB
per interrupt.
PIO Mode: Indicates the PIO mode of the installed device.
