Application Notes
1. Wake-On-LAN and PXE function
For saving the battery power, the standby power in the ECB-951D
(COM Express carrier board) has been removed. Therefore, the
NanoCOM-U15 cannot support Wake-On-LAN and PXE function
when the ECB-951D has been using.
If you need the function of Wake-On-LAN or PXE, AAEON can
provide the custom BIOS to you.
2. USB Client Port
The NanoCOM-U15 supports 8 USB ports. Port 7 can be the host or
client port. It can be chosen via BIOS.
3. Legacy and legacy-free BIOS
The NanoCOM-U15 equips with legacy-free BIOS in default. If you
test the functions on ECB-951D accompanied with the
NanoCOM-U15, please use the legacy BIOS instead of legacy-free
BIOS. You can find the legacy BIOS in the utility CD and get the
latest one on AAEON website.
4. Display Support
If you want to get the display(s) not only from LVDS LCD, but also
from DVI monitor for debugging, please purchase the ECB-951D. It is
a COM Express carrier board and equips with SDVO to DVI daughter
board to provide the DVI connector.
5. Touch Screen Controller with USB Interface
If you implement a touch screen controller with USB interface in the
carrier board and use the Operating System of Windows CE, please
use USB#0, 1 and 3 of NanoCOM-U15. There is a driver support
issue of Windows CE.

1.1 Introduction
To accommodate fast growing marketing segments, AAEON
has developed a brand new COM Express CPU module. The
NanoCOM-U15, and its accompanying carrier board-ECB-951D,
adopts Intel Atom Z530/Z510 processor and Intel System
Controller Hub US15W chipset, offering high speed
PCI-Express bus interface and serial ATA for your high
performance applications requiring high-speed and greater
stability. The COM Express CPU module offers flexibility and
time-to-market advantages over a fully customized platform.
AAEON’s NanoCOM-U15 supports up to 24-bit single channel
LVDS interface and supports onboard DDRII 533 memory chip
up to 1GB. A high definition audio interface is available to
connect to an audio codec on the carrier board. Moreover, one
onboard PATA SSD (Master device) and one SATAII interfaces
are featured giving the user flexibility in storage choices.
To satisfy the requirements of leading-edge applications in
gaming, entertainment, industrial automation, medical, and POS,
etc, COM Express carrier boards can be designed with features
and technologies specifically targeting the needs of the different
market segments. AAEON can design your COM Express
carrier board to meet your specific project requirements.

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
