Introduction

Product Description

The AR-B1760 Pentium

®

advanced 855GME Chipset that supports processors from

Intel
600MHz to 2.0MHz in both 478 or 479-ball Micro-FCBGA package
with a front size bus of 400MHz.

Graphics display functionality is provided by the integr ated-chipset
VGA controller that supports CRT display and LVDS interface with
24-bit panel specifications. Ethernet connectivity comes from the
ICH4-integrated Ethernet 10/100 Ethernet controller and a secondary
LAN using an Intel 82541GI Gigabit Ethernet.

Two DDR DIMM sockets supports up to 2GB of memory. Four COM
ports are supported, with COM3 and COM4 wit h a Fintek F81216D I/ O
controller. There are two IDE connectors – IDE1 supporting
UDMA33/66/100 and IDE2 with UDMA33 while supporting a CF Type
II socket for its slave channel.

Other I/O features include two Serial ATA ports, 4-in 4-oout digital I/O
and four USB ports using pin headers. Expansion slots composed of one
PCI and one Mini PCI slot. The 5.25” disk-size board uses a 20-pin ATX
power.

This board represents the perfect choice for those who want superior
performance for various low-power embedded applications.

INSTALLATIONS

Installing the CPU

The AR-B1760 embedded board supports a Socket 479 processor socket
for Intel

The processor socket comes with a screw to secure the processor. As
shown in the left picture below, loosen the screw first before inserting
the processor. Place the processor into the socket by making sure the
notch on the corner of the CPU corresponds with the notch on the inside
of the socket. Once the processor has slide into the socket, fasten the
screw. Refer to the figures below.

®

Pentium® M or Celeron® M processors.

After you have installed the processor into the socket, check if the
jumpers for the CPU type and speed are correct.

INSTALLATIONS

Installing the Memory

The AR-B1760 embedded board supports two DDR memory sockets for
a maximum to tal memo ry of 2 GB in D DR memor y type. The memo ry
module capacities supported are 64MB, 128MB, 256MB, 512MB and
1GB. The following table lists the supported DDR DIMM
configurations. Intel 855GME supports configurations defined in the
JEDEC DDR DIMM specification only (A,B,C). Non-JEDEC standard
DIMMs such as double-sided x16 DDR SDRAM DIMMs are not
supported.

1. Hold the DDR module so that the key of the DDR module align with

those on the memory slot.

2. Gently push the DDR module in an upright position until the clips of

the slot close to hold the DDR module in place when the DDR module
touches the bottom of the slot.

3. To remove the DDR module, press the clips with both hands.
