3.1. Safety Instructions for the Lithium Battery
The PCI-760 board is equipped with a Lithium battery. For the replacing of this battery please observe the instructions
described in the chapter
Caution!
Danger of explosion when replaced with wrong type of battery. Replace the battery only with UL recognized Lithium battery that has the same or equivalent type recommended by Kontron.
Do not dispose of lithium batteries in domestic waste. Dispose of the battery according to the local regulations dealing with the disposal of these special materials (e.g. to the collecting points for the disposal of batteries).
3.2. Basic Safety and EMC Compatibility
The PCI-760 board is a fixed component that shall be installed into a stationary system by applying good engineering
practices and respecting the information on the intended use of the components with a view to meeting the protection
requirements [refer to (a) and (b)].
9.1.5.1 ”Replacing the Lithium Battery”.
The PCI-760 board was designed and manufactured, having regard to the state of the art, as to ensure that:
(a) the electromagnetic disturbance generated does not exceed the level above which radio and telecommunications
equipment or other equipment cannot operate as intended;
(b) it has a level of immunity to the electromagnetic disturbance to be expected in its intended use which allows it to
operate without unacceptable degradation of its intended use.

The PCI-760 board supports four DDR2 DIMM sockets (240-pin) for up to a total memory of up to 8GB DDR2 SDRAM.
The single/double sided memory modules can be user-defined combined in sizes of 256MB, 512MB up to max. 2GB per
DDR2 DIMM-socket.
The majority of systems supporting dual-channel memory can be configured in either single-channel or
dual-channel memory mode.
The speed used in all channels is the speed of the slowest DIMM in the system.
Only around a memory of 3.5 GB is usable for most of 32 bit operating systems.
DIMM0 (nearest positioned to the CPU) must be fitted first for AMT and QST feature.
For the best dual-channel memory performance on boards with the Intel dual-channel DDR2 chipsets must be used
identically paired memory modules in channel A and B.
We recommend installing into the board DDR2 DIMM sockets a dual channel kit (identically manufacturer, capacity,
speed, number of chips and modules).
Prerequisites for dual-channel memory configuration:
1. Both modules are the same capacity (e.g. both are 256MB or 512MB)
2. Both modules are the same speed (e.g. both are PC2700 or PC3200)
3. Both have the same number of chips and module sides (e.g. both have the same number of chips on the module,
and both are either single-sided or double-sided).
If other memory configuration is used, the system will revert to the single-channel memory mode (lowerperforming mode).
The speed of the bus clock and the timing of the memory access for the whole main memory (RAM) are
given by the slowest DDR2 DIMM Module built-in the system.

A system chassis can be equipped with components, that provide acoustical or/and light indication of the computer
activities, and switches to change the computer status. J14 is a 16-pin box header that provides following connect i ons:
The multifunctional connector (J5) provides an interface:
❏ for a PS/2 keyboard and a PS/2 mouse connector
❏ to a speaker for audio tone generation
❏ to connect the Power LED
❏ to connect the hard drive activity LED
❏ to connect the reset button

10. AMI BIOS Configuration
This chapter describes the settings available in the optional AMI BIOS for the
PCI-760 board. The AMI BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) pre- installed in your computer system’s ROM supports
Intel® Pentium® M processor in a standard IBM AT compatible I/O system.
10.1. BIOS Setup
The AMI BIOS provides a Setup utility program for specifying the system configurations and settings. The BIOS ROM of
the system stores the Setup utility. When you turn on the computer, the AMI BIOS is activated.
Pressing the <Del> key immediately allows you to enter the Setup utility. If you are a little bit late pressing the <Del> key,
POST (Power On Self Test) will continue with its test routines, thus preventing you from invoking the Setup. If you still
wish to enter Setup, restart the system by pressing the ”Reset” button or simultaneously pressing the <Ctrl>, <Alt> and
<Delete> keys. You can also restart by turning the system Off and back On again. The following message will appear on
the screen:
Press <DEL> to Enter Setup
In general, you press the arrow keys to highlight items, <Enter> to select, the <PgUp> and <PgDn> keys to change
entries, <F1> for help and <Esc> to quit.
When you enter the Setup utility, the Main Menu screen will appear on the screen. The Main Menu allows you to select
from various Setup functions and exit choices.
The BIOS Setup screen has two main frames. The left frame displays all the options that can be configured. “Grayedout” options cannot be configured. Blue options can be select and configured.
The right frame displays the key legend. Above the key legend is an area reserved for a text message. When an option
is selected in the left frame, it is highlighted in white. Often a text message will accompany it.
10.1.1. Navigation
Hot Key Description
→← Left/Right The Left and Right <Arrow> keys allow you to select a BIOS
Setup screen.
For example: Main screen, Advanced screen, Chipset
screen, and so on.
↑↓ Up/Down The Up and Down <Arrow> keys allow you to select a BIOS
Setup item or sub-screen.
+ / - Plus/Minus The Plus and Minus <Keys> keys allow you to change the field
value of a particular BIOS Setup item.
For example: Date and Time.
Tab The <Tab> key allows you to select BIOS Setup fields.
The <F8> key on your keyboard is the Fail-Safe key. It is not displayed on the key
legend by default. To set the Fail-Safe settings of the BIOS, press the < F8> key on your
keyboard. The Fail-Safe settings allow the motherboard to boot up with the least
amount of options enabled. This can lessen the probability of conflicting settings.
The <F9> key on your keyboard is the Optimal-Default key. To set the Optimal-Default
settings of the BIOS, press the <F9> key on your keyboard.

10.8.1. Save Changes and Exit
This field saves the settings you have made and exits BIOS Setup.
10.8.2. Discard Changes and Exit
This field exits BIOS Setup without saving the new settings.
10.8.3. Discard Changes
This field resets all values to those that were active when the computer was turned on without exiting BI OS Setup.
10.8.4. Load Optimal Defaults
This option allows you to load the default values of your system configuration. These default settings (manufacturing
settings) are optimal and enable all high performance features.
10.8.5. Load Failsafe Defaults
By this option the system can reload all default settings, which are permanently stored in the BIOS-ROM.
These settings are not the optimized default settings (manufacturing defaults) for your system, but can be used, if after
changes, the system does not run reliably. The Fail-Safe settings are designed for maximum stability, but not maximum
performance.
