1.1 Introduction
AAEON Technology, a leading company in embedded boards
manufacturing with a full range of PC/104 CPU Modules,
launches an economic version PC/104 CPU Module-PFM-540I.
Its compact size and rich functionality ensures the most cost
effective and compatible module to coincide with your existing
system planning devices.
PFM-540I adopts an AMD Geode LX800 processor that is more
cost effective compared to other PC/104 CPU modules on the
market. This model supports DDR 333 SODIMM Memory up to
1GB (DDR 400 optional). Although PFM-540I is a small board,
it offers the full functions customers demand. The chipset of
PFM-540I deploys AMD LX800 and CS5536 that makes this
board achieve high performance. It features one
10/100Base-TX Ethernet port, four USB 2.0 ports, two serial
ports, one parallel port, IR interface, watchdog timer and includes
PC/104 expansion.
PFM-540I is a RoHS compliant product that is fanless and fully
supports ISA and CFD. For Operating Systems, it supports
regular embedded OS, such as WinCE, and WinXP Embedded,
Windows XP Professional for easy compatibility with customers’
existing OS systems.

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

2.5 Setting Jumpers
You configure your card to match the needs of your application by
setting jumpers. A jumper is the simplest kind of electric switch. It
consists of two metal pins and a small metal clip (often protected by
a plastic cover) that slides over the pins to connect them. To “close”
a jumper you connect the pins with the clip.
To “open” a jumper you remove the clip. Sometimes a jumper will
have three pins, labeled 1, 2 and 3. In this case you would connect
either pins 1 and 2 or 2 and 3.

Open Closed Closed 2-3
A pair of needle-nose pliers may be helpful when working with
jumpers.
If you have any doubts about the best hardware configuration for
your application, contact your local distributor or sales
representative before you make any change.
Generally, you simply need a standard cable to make most
connections.
