Installation Guide for POC Bo a rd
2 Installation Guide for POC Board
2.1 Before You Begin
Table 2 shows the additi onal hardware that may be needed to set up the board.
Table 2. Additional Hardware
Component Description
VGA Monitor Standard VGA or greater resolution monitor.
Keyboard Keyboard with a PS/2 connec tor or adapter.
Mouse Mouse with a PS/2 connector or adapter.
IDE Devices Up t o two IDE devices can be connected to the POC board. One
cable is included i n this kit. The cable accommodat es the included
hard drive and one other IDE devic e, such as a CD-ROM drive or
another hard drive.
Network Adapter An Intel® 82551 QM Ethernet Controller is included in the
development kit. A CAT-5 cable with an RJ-45 connector is
required to c onnec t t his Et her net adapter to local area network.
AT Power Supply A n AT power supply is required in order t o power up the board. If
you are using an ATX po wer supply see Secti on 2.2 for detail s on
how to make ATX work.
Memory One module of 200-pin DDR2 400 MHz SODIMM (max 1 GByte) is
required.
Other Devices
and Adapters
Many PC-compati ble peripherals can be at tached and configur ed to
work with the POC board. For example, installing an additional
network adapter int o the mini PCI slot . Procuring and instal ling any
drivers requi r ed for additional devices will need to be done by user.
2.2 Setting up the Int e l® ECX POC Board
Gather the hardware described in section 2.1 and follow the steps below to set up the POC
board. This manual assumes the user is familiar wit h basic conc epts of installing and
configuring har dware for an x86 architecture platform.
1. Ensure a static free wo rk envi ron ment. Static-free procedures m ust be c om pleted
before removing any components from various anti-static packagi ng. The POC board
is susceptible to electrostatic discharge ( E S D) , which may cause product failure or
unpredictable operation.
Caution: Connecting the wrong cable or rever si ng a c able m ay damage the POC board and may
damage the device bei ng c onnec ted. Since the board is not in a protective chassis, use caution
when connecting c ables to this product.
Installation Guide for POC Board
2. Verify content s. Inspect the cont ents of your kit, and ensure that everything li sted in
Section 1.3 is incl uded. Check for damage that may hav e occurr ed dur ing shipment.
3. Check jumper settings. Verify that the following jumpers are set in t heir default state
(see Table 3).

4. Verify installed hardware. Make sure the following hardware is populated on your
POC board:
− One on-board Intel Intel® Celeron® M Processor Ultra Low Vol tage 373 processor in
the 479-ball µ FCBGA package
− BIOS FWH
− Battery
− Heatsink
Note: The above hardware should have been correctly installed at the factory. If they ar e not
installed correctly, DO NOT power on the board. Cor r ectly r e-i nstall the components bef or e
proceeding.
5. Install memory. Install the SODIMM in memory slot DIMM1. Insert the SODIMM
above the slot (the DI MM is keyed so that it only fits in the slot in one orientation).
Firmly, but car efully, insert the SODIMM into the slot until the tabs close.

Installation Guide for POC Board
6. Install storage devices. There is one IDE and one SATA connector on the POC
board, which support s up to 3 hard drives (two PATA I DE devices—a master and a
slave and one SATA IDE devi c e.
Note: Master/slave settings are determined by a jumper on each IDE device. Consult t he dev ic e
label/doc umentation to verify that the j umper is set correctly for the configuration you
choose. A CD-ROM drive or addit ional hard drive may be installed as a primary slave
device.
Warning: Failure to properly align the IDE cable may damage the POC board and/or the har d drive.
7. Install the CD-ROM drive
a) Verify that the j um per on the CD-ROM drive is set for slave.
b) Connect the unused end of the IDE cable you have already attached to the
POC board to the CD-ROM drive. Ensure that the cabl e tracer is aligned with
pin 1 of the CD-ROM drive connect or .
c) Connect the four -pin power connector f rom the power supply to the CD- ROM
drive.
8. Connect the monitor. Connect the monitor cable to the VGA port.
9. Connect the keybo ard and mou se. Connec t the KB/Mouse cable to the Mini-DIN
PS/2 connector CN13 on t he boar d. Then connect a PS/2 mouse and keyboard to t he
KB/Mouse cable. Alternatively, USB key boar d and a USB mouse may be plugged into
one or both of the USB connectors (CN12) on the board. Note that a legacy (PS/2)
keyboard is needed to f or entering BIOS setup mode.
Note: If you connect the USB keyboard and USB mouse to the front panel, you must connect the
USB cable from the front panel to the connector CN5 on the board first.
10. Connect the power supply. Make sure the power supply is turned off and unplugged.
Connect the AT 4P power supply cables to connector CN7 on the board. Next, plug the
power cord int o the power supply on t he wall.
11. Power up the system. Turn on the monitor and follow by the power supply. Please
refer to Table 19: CN7 for the power suppl y pin configuration and tap it from ATX
power supply.
Warning:A loose jumper wire could lead to intermi tt ent power which could damage the boar d or
cause an electrical short.

Installation Guide for POC Bo a rd
Notes: Powering up without all components install ed c or rectly could lead to a power-up fail ure that
could damage that board. Do not power up the board until the source of any loose
components is fixed and the component has been replaced on the board.
