Integrated circuits on computer boards are sensitive to static electricity.
To avoid damaging chips from electrostatic discharge, observe the
following precautions:
Do not remove boards or integrated circuits from their anti-static
packaging until you are ready to install them.
Before handling a board or integrated circuit, touch an unpainted portion
of the system unit chassis for a few seconds. This helps to discharge any
static electricity on your body.
Wear a wrist-grounding strap, available from most electronic component
stores, when handling boards and components. Fasten the ALLIGATOR
clip of the strap to the end of the shielded wire lead from a grounded
object. Please wear and connect the strap before handle the HS-2601A
to ensure harmlessly discharge any static electricity through the strap.
Please use an anti-static pad when putting down any components or
parts or tools outside the computer. You may also use an anti-static bag
instead of the pad. Please inquire from your local supplier for additional
assistance in finding the necessary anti-static gadgets.
NOTE:
DO NOT TOUCH THE BOARD OR ANY OTHER SENSITIVE
COMPONENTS WITHOUT ALL NECESSARY ANTI-STATIC
ROTECTION.

General Description
The HS-2601A is a 100MHz Intel® BX chipset-based Mini PCI Bus Intel
Mobile board. With features such as enhanced I/O effects with
CRT/VGA, and LAN all combined, the HS-2601A is an ideal all-in-one
compact-size board for the demanding embedded applications and IA
platforms.
Its onboard DMA33 to IDE drive interface architecture allows the
HS-2601A to support data transfers of 33MB/sec with a maximum of
two IDE drives. Its Intel
board to support most Intel Mobile microprocessors in the market, The
C&T 69000 CRT/Panel display controller offers an on-chip 2MB
memory that supports up to 1280x1024x256 colors display resolution.
For suitable installation into any size system with 8/16/32bit ISA and/or
PCI slots operation, the board’s advanced PISA bus add-on feature
allows user to easily obtain both ISA's 16bit and PCI's 32bit full set
signals from a half size PISA slot. System memory is also sufficient
with the two DIMM sockets that can support up to 256MB.

Unpacking
2.1 Opening the Delivery Package
The HS-2601A is packed in an anti-static bag. The board has
components that are easily damaged by static electricity. Do not
remove the anti-static wrapping until proper precautions have been
taken. Safety Instructions in front of this manual describe anti-static
precautions and procedures.
2.2 Inspection
After unpacking the board, place it on a raised surface and carefully
inspect the board for any damage that might have occurred during
shipment. Ground the board and exercise extreme care to prevent
damage to the board from static electricity.
Integrated circuits will sometimes come out of their sockets during
shipment. Examine all integrated circuits, particularly the BIOS,
processor, memory modules, ROM-Disk, and keyboard controller chip
to ensure that they are firmly seated. The HS-2601A delivery package
contains the following items:
HS-2601A Industrial Single Board

Hardware Installation
This chapter provides the information on how to install the hardware
using the HS-2601A. This chapter also contains information related to
jumper settings of switch, watchdog timer, and the DiskOnChip
address selection etc.
3.1 Before Installation
After confirming your package contents, you are now ready to install
your hardware. The following are important reminders and steps to
take before you begin with your installation process.
1. Make sure that all jumper settings match their default settings
and CMOS setup correctly. Refer to the sections on this chapter
for the default settings of each jumper.
2. Go through the connections of all external devices and make
sure that they are installed properly and configured correctly
within the CMOS setup. Refer to the sections on this chapter
for the detailed information on the connectors.
3. Keep the manual and diskette in good condition for future
reference and use.

3.5 Configuring the CPU
The HS-2601A, with its onboard BGA processor, auto-detects the
features of the mounted microprocessor onboard. The HS-2601A
automatically identifies the frequency and clock speed of the installed
microprocessor chip, thereby eliminating the need for user to do
additional CPU configuration or hardware settings related to it.

3.6 System Memory
The HS-2601A provides one SO-DIMM socket at location U2. This
onboard memory socket can support 64MB, 128MB and 256MB
SO-DIMM modules. The system’s maximum memory capacity is
256MB.

SO-DIMM sockets out on the market these days have very fragile
NOTE:
contacts that attach to modules. We highly recommend you not to
regularly remove the installed SO-DIMM from its socket. Doing so
may wear out the contact between the socket and module.
3.7 DiskOnChip Address Setting
The DiskOnChip function allows the system to boot or operate
without a FDD or a HDD. DiskOnChip modules may be formatted as
drive C or A. With DiskOnChip, user may also execute DOS
commands such as FORMAT, SYS, COPY, XCOPY, DISCOPY and
DISKCOMP etc.
The U7 location onboard the HS-2601A is the DiskOnChip module
socket. The board circuitry assigns a LOCKED starting memory
address of the installed module at D000. If you have another memory
device that has a similar memory capacity with that of the DOC in your
system, please set both at different memory address mapping to avoid
the mapping area conflicts. Failing to do so will not make the HS-2601A
and the additional memory device function properly.
3.7.1 Installing DiskOnChip Modules
When installing a DiskOnChip module onto your board, please take
note of the following:
1. Orient yourself properly with the location of the DiskOnChip
socket. Try to locate the pin 1 location on your socket. Pin
numbers are usually printed on either the component side or the
solder side of your board.
2. Locate the Pin 1 location on your DiskOnChip module. More
often than not, Pin 1 can be found on the lower right corner of
the chip. Please refer to the diagram for the exact location.
10
3. Once you have figured out where the pin 1 locations are on both
chip and socket, align the module’s pins on an upright angle
against the socket. Using both thumbs, gently press the module
into the socket until all the pins are secured to their
designations.

for use.
NOTE:
If you encounter difficulty installing your DiskOnChip
module,
please consult a qualified technician or engineer to perform the
installation.
3.7.1 Removing DiskOnChip Modules
When removing a DiskOnChip module from its socket, please take
note of the following:
1. Loosen the contact of the module from its socket using a
screwdriver.
2. Insert the screwdriver’s flat head into a gap on either end of the
socket. Do not insert the screwdriver head on either side where
the pins are located. Doing so might damage the pins in the
process.
3. Slowly lift the screwdriver handle upwards. This will disengage
the module from its socket.
NOTE:
If you encounter difficulty removing your DiskOnChip
please consult a qualified technician or engineer to remove it for
you.

3.8 VGA Controller
The HS-2601A has an onboard jumper that selects the working voltage
of the flat panel connected to the system. Jumper JP2 offers two
voltage settings for the user.
JP2: Panel Voltage Select
Options Settings
5.0 V (default) Short 1-2
3.3 V Short 2-3
WARNING: Please contact the supplier of your panel and make sure of
the correct voltage it uses. Incorrect settings on JP8 may
cause internal damage to your panel.
The built-in C&T 69000 CRT/Panel display controller, onboard
HS-2601A, uses 2MB memory to support resolutions up to
1280x1024x256 colors.
The HS-2601A provides two connection methods of a VGA device.
CN20 offers a single standard CRT connector (DB15) while CN16 is
the 50-pin panel connector onboard reserved for flat panel installation.
The HS-2601A uses a standard 34-pin header connector, CN11, for
floppy disk drive connection. A total of two FDD drives may be
connected to CN11 at any given time.
