1.7 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 electronics personnel should open the PC chassis. Caution! Always ground yourself to remove any static charge before touching the motherboard. Modern electronic devices are very sensitive to static electric charges.
1.8 Jumper Settings This section provides instructions on how to configure your motherboard by setting the jumpers. It also includes the motherboard’s default settings and your options for each jumper. 1.8.1 How to set jumpers You can configure your motherboard to match the needs of your application by setting the jumpers. A jumper is a metal bridge that closes an electrical circuit.
1.8.3 Watchdog timer output (JWDT1) The AIMB-556 contains a watchdog timer that will reset the CPU or send a signal to IRQ11 in the event the CPU stops processing. This feature means the AIMB-764 will recover from a software failure or an EMI problem. The J2 jumper settings control the outcome of what the computer will do in the event the watchdog timer is tripped. Table 1.
1.8.4 COM2 RS-232/422/485 mode selector (JESTCOM2) Users can use JESTCOM2 to select among RS-232/422/485 modes for COM2. The default setting is RS-232. Figure 1.4: COM2 RS-232/422/485 Jumper setting Table 1.
1.9 System Memory The AIMB-556 has four sockets for 240-pin dual inline memory modules (DIMMs) in two memory channels. All these sockets use 1.8 V unbuffered double data rate synchronous DRAMs (DDR SDRAM). They are available in capacities of 256 MB, 512 MB, 1024 MB and 2 GB. The sockets can be filled in any combination with DIMMs of any size, giving a total memory size between 256 MB and 4 GB. 1.9.1 CPU FSB and memory speed The AIMB-556 can accept DDR2 SDRAM memory chips without parity.
1.12 Processor Installation Warning! Without a fan or heat sink, the CPU will overheat and cause damage to both the CPU and the single board computer. To install a CPU, first turn off your system. The AIMB-556 is designed for Intel Core 2 Duo / Core Solo (socket 478) up to 2.6 GHz. Follow these steps to install the processor: 1. Turn the screw to loosen the processor socket. 2. Align the triangular marking on the processor with the small arrow on the corner of the socket. 3.
CHAPTER 2 Connecting Peripherals 17 Chapter 2
Chapter 2 Connecting Peripherals 2.1 Introduction You can access most of the connectors from the top of the board as it is being installed in the chassis. If you have a number of cards installed, you may need to partially remove the card to make all the connections. 2.
Unlike floppy drives, IDE hard drives can connect in either position on the cable. If you install two drives to a single connector, you will need to set one as the master and the other as the slave. You do this by setting the jumpers on the drives. If you use just one drive on the connector, you should set the drive as the master. See the documentation that came with your drive for more information. Connect the first hard drive to the other end of the cable.
2.
2.5 USB Ports (LAN1_USB12, LAN2_USB34, USB56 & USB78) The AIMB-556 provides up to eight USB (Universal Serial Bus) ports with complete Plug & Play and hot swap support for up to 127 external devices. These USB ports comply with USB Specification Rev. 2.0, support transmission rates up to 480 Mbps and are fuse protected. The USB interface can be disabled in the system BIOS setup.

2.11 Front Panel Connectors (JFP1, JFP2 & JFP3) There are several external switches to monitor and control the AIMB556.
2.11.2 External Speaker (JFP2) JFP2 is a 4-pin connector for an external speaker. The AIMB-556 provides an onboard buzzer as an alternative to an external speaker. To enable the buzzer, set pins 5 and 7 as closed. 2.11.3 Reset Connector (JFP1) Many computer cases offer the convenience of a reset button. Connect the wire from the reset button. 2.11.4 HDD LED Connector (JFP2) You can connect an LED to connector JFP2 to indicate when the HDD is active. 2.11.

CHAPTER 3 AMI BIOS Setup 45 Chapter 3
Chapter 3 AMI BIOS Setup AMIBIOS has been integrated into many motherboards for over a decade. In the past, people often referred to the AMIBIOS setup menu as BIOS, BIOS setup or CMOS setup. With the AMIBIOS Setup program, you can modify BIOS settings and control the special features of your computer. The Setup program uses a number of menus for making changes and turning the special features on or off. This chapter describes the basic navigation of the AIMB-556 setup screens. Figure 3.
3.1 Entering Setup Turn on the computer and check for the “patch” code. If there is a number assigned to the patch code, it means that the BIOS supports your CPU. If there is no number assigned to the patch code, please contact an Advantech application engineer to obtain an up-to-date patch code file. This will ensure that your CPU’s system status is valid. After ensuring that you have a number assigned to the patch code, press and you will immediately be allowed to enter Setup. Figure 3.
