EPM-CPU-10 Reference Manual Introduction – 1

Description

The high reliability design and construction of this board also features latching I/O connectors, watchdog timer, voltage sensing reset circuit, and self-resetting fuse on the 5V supply to the keyboard, mouse, and USB 1.1 ports. An onboard programmable CPU temperature sensor is included for use in difficult thermal situations. The sensor output can be used to turn on additional fans, create local or remote warnings, or take other action through software triggers.

The EPM-CPU-10 socket 370 compliant 2-board computer will accept Intel Flip-Chip Pentium and Intel Flip-Chip Celeron Chips. Processors speeds up to 850 MHz are available.

This exceptional processor card was designed from the ground up for OEM applications with longevity and reliability as the focus. It is fully supported by the VersaLogic design team. Both hardware and software (BIOS) customization are available. Please contact a VersaLogic Applications Support Specialist to discuss these requirements. Each board is subjected to a 48hour burn-in and 100% functional testing and backed by a limited two-year warranty.

grounded, static-free surface, component side up. Use an anti-static foam pad if available.

The board should also be protected during shipment or storage by keeping inside a closed metallic anti-static envelope.

Note! The exterior coating on some metallic anti-static bags is sufficiently conductive to

cause excessive battery drain if the bag comes in contact with the bottom side of the EPM-CPU-10.

ITHIUM BATTERY

Warning! To prevent shorting, premature failure, or damage to the lithium battery, do not

place the board on a conductive surface such as metal, black conductive foam, or the outside surface of a metalized ESD protective pouch. The lithium battery may explode if mistreated. Do not recharge, disassemble, or dispose of in fire. Dispose of used batteries promptly.
