Safety Precautions
Warning!
Always completely disconnect the power cord from your chassis
whenever you work with the hardware. Do not make connections
while the power is on. Sensitive electronic components can be
damaged by sudden power surges. Only experienced electronic
personnel should open the PC chassis.
Caution!
Always ground yourself to remove any static charge before
touching the CPU card. Modern electronic devices are very
sensitive to static electric charges. As a safety precaution, use a
grounding wrist strap at all times. Place all electronic components
in a static-dissipative surface or static-shielded bag when they are
not in the chassis.

Chapter 2 Installations
2.1 Memory Module（SODIMM）Installation
The V270 Motherboard provides one 200-pin SODIMM slot. The socket
supports up to 2GB DDR2 533 SDRAM. When installing the Memory device,
please follow the steps below：
Step.1. Firmly inserts the SODIMM at an angle into its slot. Align the SODIMM
on the slot such that the notch on the SODIMM matches the break on the slot.
Step.2. Press downwards on SODIMM until the retaining clips at both ends fully
snap back in place and the SODIMM is properly seated.
¾
Caution!
The SODIMM only fits in one correct orientation. It will cause
permanent damage to the development board and the SODIMM if
the SODIMM is forced into the slot at the incorrect orientation.

2.2 I/O Equipment Installation
2.2.1 12V DC-IN
The Motherboard allows plugging 12V DC-IN jack on the board without another
power module converter under power consumption by VIA C7-M NanoBGA2
processor in VX700 chipset.
2.2.2 PS/2 Keyboard and PS/2 Mouse
The Motherboard provides one Mini-DIN connector supports PS/2 interface.
Mini-DIN connector supports Keyboard or Mouse. In other cases, especially in
embedded applications, a mouse is not used. Therefore, the BIOS standard setup
menu allows you to select* “All, But Keyboard” under the “Halt On”. This
allows no-keyboard operation in embedded system applications without the
system halting under POST.
2.2.3 Serial COM ports
One serial connector build in the rear I/O supports RS232/422/485 selection
through jumper setting and three internal RS-232 ports pin-header. When an
optional touch-screen is ordered with PPC, serial com port can connect to a serial
or an optional touch-screen.
2.2.4 Internal VGA
The Motherboard has one VGA port that can be connected to an external CRT/
LCD monitor. Use VGA cable to connect to an external CRT / LCD monitor, and
connect the power cable to the outlet. The VGA connector is a standard 15-pin
D-SUB connector.
2.2.5 Ethernet interface
The Motherboard is equipped with one Realtek RTL8110SC chipsets which is
fully compliant with the PCI 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet protocol compatible. It
is supported by major network operating systems. The Ethernet ports provide one
standard RJ-45 jacks.
2.2.6 USB ports
Six USB devices (four with pin headers) may be connected to the system though
an adapter cable. Various adapters may come with USB ports. USB usually
connect the external system to the system. The USB ports support hot plug-in
connection. Whatever, you should install the device driver before you use the
device.
2.2.7 Audio Jack ( Pin-header)
The Audio 7.1 channel capabilities are provided by a VIA VT1708A chipset
supporting digital audio outputs. The audio interface includes Mic-in, line-in and
line-out.

2.4 Jumper Setting
A pair of needle-nose pliers may be helpful when working with jumpers. If you
have any doubts about the best hardware configuration for your application,
contact your local distributor or sales representative before you make any
changes. Generally, you simply need a standard cable to make most connections.
The jumper setting diagram is as below. If a jumper shorts pin 1 and pin 2, the
setting diagram is shown as the right one.
The following tables list the function of each of the board's jumpers.

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.
The BIOS setup/utility uses a key-based navigation system called hot keys. Most of
the BIOS setup utility hot keys can be used at any time during the setup navigation
process. These keys include <F1>, <F10>, <Enter>, <ESC>, <Arrow> keys, and so
