1.1 Introduction
The GENE-8315 is based on Intel®ULV Celeron®M 600MHz/
1.0GHz ZC or Celeron®M 1.3GHz (Optional)/ 1.5GHz processor
and 200-pin DDR SODIMM up to 1GB system memory. It is
designed to provide the ideal combination of low power, excellent
performance, and small size for applications that require a small
form factor like AAEON SubCompact Board –GENE-8315.
The most significant feature of GENE-8315 is the LAN port
deployment. It accommodates three 10/100Base-TX RJ-45
connectors that allow more and faster network connections.
GENE-8315 equips one Intel EP82562ET Ethernet controller and
two Realtek RTL8100BL-LF Ethernet controllers for multi-task data
transmission in the network. It also provides a basic display mode
that is CRT & LVDS multi-displays and has fulfilled market
demands to achieve the target of cost efficiency.
For a wide expansion capability, GENE-8315 equips flexible I/O
interfaces—2 COM, 4 USB2.0, Parallel port, Digital I/O,
Keyboard/Mouse interfaces, etc. In addition, one PATA-33 IDE
and one Type II CompactFlash slots to enlarge the storage of
GENE-8315. The GENE-8315 combines superb performance and
controllable power usage. It is the best solution for supporting
diverse applications.

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
