Packing List
Before you begin installing your card, please make sure that the
following materials have been shipped:
• 1 ETX-701 CPU Module
• 1 CD-ROM for manual (in PDF format) and drivers
If any of these items should be missing or damaged, please
contact your distributor or sales representative immediately.

Application Notes
1. ISA IRQ resource:
If you use the ISA card, you have to disable the COM3 and COM4 in
the BIOS due to the IRQ resource limitation. It will release the IRQ to
the ISA card.
2. VGA through PCI graphic add-on card:
If you use a PCI graphic add-on card, you have to use the onboard
VGA first. Then, adjust the PCI graphic add-on card to be the
primary in the OS. After re-booting, you can use the VGA through
PCI graphic add-on card normally.
For more details, please contact with AAEON Application Engineering
Department for help.

1.1 Introduction
AAEON announced the new Embedded Technology eXtended
(ETX) product – ETX-701, which is based on the AMD LX800/
LX900 processors combined with AMD CS5536 chipset.
ETX-701 provides common PC peripheral functions such as
graphics, USB, serial, parallel port, keyboard/mouse, Ethernet,
SATA and IDE. The baseboard designer can optimize exactly which
and how these functions are implemented physically.
All of AAEON's ETX modules have a standard form factor and a
standard connector layout that carry a specified set of signals. By
adopting this standardization, the designers can create a single
system of carrier board that can accept present and future ETX
modules in terms of their needs. In another word, AAEON will have
different ETX solutions so that customers can upgrade the module
without having to change their carrier board.
The ETX-701 was designed specially to improve the quality and
speed of your product development. AAEON ETX series represent
features of scalability, reliability and qualified services. It provides
more compact size and more flexibility for your various applications
as well.

2.1 Safety Precautions
Always completely disconnect the power cord
from your board whenever you are working on it.
Do not make connections while the power is on,
because a sudden rush of power can damage
sensitive electronic components.
Always ground yourself to remove any static
charge before touching the board. Modern
electronic devices are very sensitive to static
electric charges. Use a grounding wrist strap at
all times. Place all electronic components on a
static-dissipative surface or in a static-shielded
bag when they are not in the chassis

Caution:
In order to properly clear the CMOS when using this ETX module with
ECB-901A, please ensure to turn off the main switch on the power supply
before taking actions. That should include both AT and ATX power supply.
Fail to turn off the main switch of power supply might result in unsuccessful
CLEAR CMOS action.
