1 Introduction Features Watchdog Timer The Watchdog Timer function allows your application to regularly “clear” the system at the set time interval. If the system hangs or fails to function, it will reset at the set time interval so that your system will continue to operate. CompactFlash The system board is equipped with the CompactFlashTM socket for inserting a CompactFlashTM card.
Introduction 1 LVDS The Low-Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS) interface allows the Intel Graphics Media Adapter to communicate directly to the flat-panel display. The LVDS interface supports pixel color depths of 18 bits. HDMI HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is a compact audio/video connector interface for transmitting uncompressed digital streams. It delivers multi-channel audio and uncompressed digital video signals for full HD 1080p visuals through a single cable.
1 Introduction Wake-On-LAN This feature allows the network to remotely wake up a Soft Power Down (SoftOff) PC. It is supported via the onboard LAN port or via a PCI LAN card that uses the PCI PME (Power Management Event) signal. However, if your system is in the Suspend mode, you can power-on the system only through an IRQ or DMA interrupt. Important: The 5V_standby power source of your power supply must support ≥720mA.
Introduction 1 ACPI STR The system board is designed to meet the ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) specification. ACPI has energy saving features that enables PCs to implement Power Management and Plug-and-Play with operating systems that support OS Direct Power Management. ACPI when enabled in the Power Management Setup will allow you to use the Suspend to RAM function.

D Troubleshooting The picture seems to be constantly moving. 1. The monitor has lost its vertical sync. Adjust the monitor’s vertical sync. 2. Move away any objects, such as another monitor or fan, that may be creating a magnetic field around the display. 3. Make sure your video card’s output frequencies are supported by this monitor. The screen seems to be constantly wavering. 1. If the monitor is close to another monitor, the adjacent monitor may need to be turned off.
Troubleshooting D Serial Port The serial device (modem, printer) doesn’t output anything or is outputting garbled characters. 1. Make sure that the serial device’s power is turned on and that the device is on-line. 2. Verify that the device is plugged into the correct serial port on the rear of the computer. 3. Verify that the attached serial device works by attaching it to a serial port that is working and configured correctly.
