Notes:
1. As the operating temperature provided in the specifications is a result of the test performed in VIA’s
chamber, a number of variables can influence this result. Please note that the working temperature may vary depending on the actual situation and environment. It is highly suggested to execute a solid testing and take all the variables into consideration when building the system. Please ensure that the system runs well under the operating temperature in terms of application.
2. Please note that the lifespan of the onboard eMMC memory chip may vary depending on the amount of
access. More frequent and larger data access on eMMC memory makes its lifespan shorter. Therefore, it is highly recommended to use a replaceable external storage (e.g., Micro SD card) for large data access.

3. Jumpers
Jumper Description
A jumper consists of pair conductive pins used to close in or bypass an electronic circuit to set up or configure particular feature using a jumper cap. The jumper cap is a small metal clip covered by plastic. It performs like a connecting bridge to short (connect) the pair of pins. The usual colors of the jumper cap are black/red/blue/white/yellow.
Jumper Setting
There are two settings of the jumper pin: “Short and Open”. The pins are “Short” when a jumper cap is placed on the pair of pins. The pins are ”Open” if the jumper cap is removed.
In addition, there are jumpers that have three or more pins, and some pins are arranged in series. In case of a jumper with three pins, place the jumper cap on pin 1 and pin 2 or pin 2 and 3 to Short it.
Some jumper size is small or mounted on the crowded location of the board that makes it difficult to access. Therefore, using long-nose pliers in installing and removing the jumper cap is very helpful.
Figure 22: Jumper settings example
Caution:
Make sure to install the jumper cap on the correct pins. Installing it in the wrong pin might cause damage and malfunction.

3.3. Clear CMOS Jumper
The onboard CMOS RAM stores system configuration data and has an onboard battery power supply. To reset the CMOS settings, set the jumper on pins 2 and 3 while the system is off. Return the jumper to pins 1 and 2 afterwards. Setting the jumper while the system is on will damage the mainboard. The jumper is labeled as “JM1”. The default setting is on pins 1 and 2.
Figure 25: Clear CMOS jumper diagram
Settings Pin 1 Pin 2 Pin 3 Normal (default) Short Short Open Clear CMOS Open Short Short
Table 23: Clear CMOS jumper settings
Note:
Except when clearing the CMOS RAM, never remove the cap from the JM1 (Clear CMOS) jumper default position. Removing the cap will cause system boot failure. Avoid clearing the CMOS while the system is on; it will damage the mainboard.

4. Hardware Installation
4.1. Installing into a Chassis
The VAB-1000 board can be fitted into any chassis that has the mounting holes for compatible with the standard Pico-ITX mounting hole locations. Additionally, the chassis must meet the minimum height requirements for specified areas of the board. If the VAB-1000-T I/O card is being used, the chassis will need to accommodate the additional space requirements.
4.1.1. Suggested minimum chassis dimensions
The figure below shows the suggested minimum space requirements that a chassis should have in order to work well with the VAB-1000 board.
Figure 28: Suggested minimum chassis dimensions
Each side of the board should have a buffer zone from the internal wall of the chassis. The side of the board that accommodates the I/O coastline should have a buffer of 1.5mm. The side on the opposite end of the I/O coastline that has SATA connector and board-to-board pin headers should have a buffer of at least 12mm, or 27mm if the VAB-1000-T I/O card will be used. The two sides adjacent to the I/O coastline should have at least a 2mm buffer.

4.1.2. Suggested minimum chassis height
The figure below shows the suggested minimum height requirements for the internal space of the chassis. It is not necessary for the internal ceiling to be evenly flat. What is required is that the internal ceiling height must be strictly observed for each section that is highlighted.
Figure 29: Suggested minimum internal chassis ceiling height
Note: In getting the minimum height requirements for internal space of the chassis, it is required to consider the heights of the onboard connectors (such as JTAG connector and miniPCIe slot) on the bottom side of the VAB­1000 board.

Appendix C. Installing I/O Expansion Card
C.1. Installing the VAB-1000-T I/O Card
The VAB-1000 board comes with a VAB-1000-T I/O card. The VAB-1000-T I/O card is an extender card, which adds multiple I/O interfaces, including audio jacks, USB 2.0 ports, LED indicators, power on/off button and COM pin header for one COM port (TX/RX support only) as well as board-to-board connectors.
Step 1
Align the Audio and Front panel, USB 2.0 and COM board-to-board connectors on the VAB-1000-T I/O card with the CN6 and CN7 pin header block on the VAB-1000 board.
Figure 47: Installing the VAB-1000-T I/O card
Step 2
Gently apply even pressure until the pins on the VAB-1000 board have been fully inserted into the Audio and Front panel, USB 2.0, and COM board-to-board connectors of the VAB-1000-T I/O card.
