Embedded Controller AEC-6710 Chapter 1 General Information Chapter 1 General Information 1- 1
Embedded Controller AEC-6710 1.1 Introduction AAEON is pleased to introduce the world’s first IP-67 certified embedded communication controller — AEC-6710 of BOXER G series. AEC-6710 obtained five international patents (Germany, Japan, America, Taiwan and China) for its finned, fanless chassis design. Exceptional heat conduction without any moving components allows AEC-6710 to withstand temperatures up to 60oC. The curved shape creates the biggest area of heat release.
Embedded Controller AEC-6710 storage temperature from -40 oC to 85 oC (-40oF to 185 oF). IP-67 is a rating of total protection from dust ingress and immersion in water up to 1m, whereby the controller can be located in extremely harsh environments such as outdoor, heavy industrial and military applications. A powerful communication gateway, BOXER G, AEC-6710 can be used as a front-end device, connected to multiple back-end devices for 24/7 operational requirements.

Embedded Controller AEC-6710 Note 1: To insert cables you must first unscrew the connector’s protective caps. Note 2: Please pay attention on the key of the cable connector when you connect the cable connector to AEC-6710. The notch of the cable connector should be in the upper position. Another way to connect properly is to identify the characters of “LTW” on the cable connectors. (See Photo below) The “LTW” should be on the top of the connector.
Embedded Controller AEC-6710 2.3 Connecting Audio Cable to AEC-6710 (C2 port) Step 1: Take the C2 Cable from the accessory kit and twist the cap of C2 port onto AEC-6710 Step 2: Insert the cable connector of C2 Cable (Audio cable) to C2 port of AEC-6710 and twist it to lock 2.

Embedded Controller AEC-6710 Chapter 3 Award BIOS Setup Chapter 3 Award BIOS Setup 3-1
Embedded Controller 3.1 AEC-6710 System Test and Initialization These routines test and initialize board hardware. If the routines encounter an error during the tests, you will either hear a few short beeps or see an error message on the screen. There are two kinds of errors: fatal and non-fatal. The system can usually continue the boot up sequence with non-fatal errors.
Embedded Controller 3.2 AEC-6710 Award BIOS Setup Awards BIOS ROM has a built-in Setup program that allows users to modify the basic system configuration. This type of information is stored in battery-backed CMOS RAM so that it retains the Setup information when the power is turned off. Entering Setup Power on the computer and press immediately. This will allow you to enter Setup. Standard CMOS Features Use this menu for basic system configuration. (Date, time, IDE, etc.
Embedded Controller AEC-6710 Advanced Chipset Features Use this menu to change the values in the chipset registers and optimize your system performance. Integrated Peripherals Use this menu to specify your settings for integrated peripherals. (Primary slave, secondary slave, keyboard, mouse etc.) Power Management Setup Use this menu to specify your settings for power management. (HDD power down, power on by ring, KB wake up, etc.
Embedded Controller AEC-6710 Load Optimized Defaults Use this menu to load the BIOS default values that are factory settings for optimal performance system operations. While AWARD has designated the custom BIOS to maximize performance, the factory has the right to change these defaults to meet their needs. Set Supervisor/User Password Use this menu to set Supervisor/User Passwords. Save and Exit Setup Save CMOS value changes to CMOS and exit setup.

Embedded Controller AEC-6710 Appendix A Programming the Watchdog Timer Appendix A Programming the Watchdog Timer A-1
Embedded Controller AEC-6710 A.1 Programming An onboard watchdog timer reduces the chance of disruptions which CPLD (Compact Programmable Logical Device) interface can cause. This is an invaluable protective device for standalone or punmanned applications. When the watchdog timer activates (CPU processing has come to a halt), it can reset the system, or generate an interrupt on IRQ10, IRQ11, IRQ15, and NM1.
