1.1 Introduction
TheGENE-6310 is an all-in-one VIA EdenSeries processor based
single board computer (SBC) with an Integrated AGP 4X 2D/3D
Graphics Accelerator, an audio controller, a 10/100 Base-T Ethernet
Controller, Dual channel LVDS interface, and PC/104 plus
expansion capability. This compact (only 5.75”x 4”) unit offers all
the functions of a single board computer, but still fits in the space of
a FDD drive.
Onboard features include two serial ports (one RS-232, one
RS-232/422/485), one multi-mode parallel (ECP/EPP/SPP) port,
pin header for 4 USB (Universal Serial Bus) ports, a floppy drive
controller, and a keyboard/PS/2 mouse interface. The built-in high
speed IDE controller supports Ultra DMA-33 master mode. Up to
two IDE devices can be connected, including large hard disks,
CD-ROM drives, and tape backup drives, etc.
The GENE-6310 also features power management to minimize
power consumption. It complies with the APM standard and
supports three types of power saving features: HDD power down,
Doze mode, and Suspend mode. In addition, the board’s watchdog
timer can be programmed to reset the system or generate an interrupt
in case the system stops due to a program bug or SMI.
Highly Integrated Multi-media SBC
The GENE-6310 is a highly integrated multi-media SBC that
combines audio, video, and network functions on a FDD drive size
single board computer. It provides an AC-97 audio interface 2.0
version. Major onboard devices adopt PCI technology to achieve
outstanding computing performance when used with VIA Eden
(PentiumIII level) processors, making the GENE-6310 one of the
world’s smallest and most powerful all-in-one multimedia boards

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 astatic-shielded bag when they are not in the
chassis
