ProductWarranty
AAEON warrants to you, the original purchaser, that each of its
products will be free from defects in materials and workmanship for
two years from the date of purchase.
This warranty does not apply to any products which have been
repaired or altered by persons other than repair personnel autho-
rized by AAEON, or which have been subject to misuse, abuse,
accident or improper installation. AAEON assumes no liability
under the terms of this warranty as a consequence of such events.
Because of AAEON high quality-control standards and rigorous
testing, most of our customers never need to use our repair service.
If an AAEON product is defective, it will be repaired or replaced at
no charge during the warranty period. For out-of-warranty repairs,
you will be billed according to the cost of replacement materials,
service time, and freight. Please consult your dealer for more
details.
If you think you have a defective product, follow these steps:
1. Collect all the information about the problem encountered. (For
example, CPU type and speed, AAEON products used, other
hardware and software used, etc.) Note anything abnormal and
list any on-screen messages you get when the problem occurs.
2. Call your dealer and describe the problem. Please have your
manual, product, and any helpful information readily available.
3. If your product is diagnosed as defective, obtain an RMA
(returnmaterialauthorization)numberfrom your dealer. This
allows us to process your return more quickly.
4. Carefully pack the defective product, a fully-completed Repair
and Replacement Order Card and a photocopy proof of pur-
chase date (such as your sales receipt) in a shippable container.
A product returned without proof of the purchase date is not
eligible for warranty service.
5. Write the RMA number visibly on the outside of the package
and ship it prepaid to your dealer.

1.1 Introduction
ThisnewHalf-sizeCPU Card SBC-657withonboardVIAEden 667 orEzra
800MHz (fan required), offers great value in an embedded computing
platformforlowpower,lowprofile,fanless,mobileindustrialapplied
computing applications based using the PCISA CPU card / Slot PC
standard.
With its superior computing capacity using low power, embedded, x86-
compliant architecture for industrial embedded computers, the SBC-657
enables flexible system designs, including low profile and silent fanless
devices(667MHzonly).TheVIAEdenPlatformisdesignedforoptimal
heat dissipation and power consumption, allowing quiet-running fanless
device designs and saving on energy costs and battery life. With this
ultimate feature onboard SBC-657 saves energy in mobile designs.
Features onboard included: Integrated 4X 2D/3D Graphic Controller,
a 10/100Base-T Fast Ethernet port, and 18/36-bit LCD Panel support. Its
design is based on the half-size CPU card form factor and supports ISA
bus, PC/104 expansion. Other on-board features include 4 COMs / 1
Parallel / 4 USBs / 1 IrDA Port. The SSD solution supports
CompactFlash cards. Power management can be flexible with its ATX or
AT power support.
This product uses a VIA Twister-T chip VT8606 with Integrated 2D/3D/
Video Accelerator. The VGA/LCD interface has a frame buffer of up to 32
MB using system memory. It can display both CRT and Flat Panel (TFT)
simutaneously. The SBC-657 supports single 10/100Mbps Ethernet
connections through RJ-45 connectors. The SBC-657 can be the best
fanless solution if Eden 667MHz CPU is chosen. This is perfect for target
market segments such as modern gateway devices, VPNs, firewalls,
or machine controllers, especially for *Always on* devices.
