1.1 Introduction
EMB-830 is the world’s first Pentium 4 industrial board in
embedded ATX form factor. It features a PGA 478 socket that
can accommodate Pentium 4 supporting FSB up to
400/533MHz.
Best performance for multimedia solution
AAEON’s EMB-830 also supports DDR DRAM up to 2.0Gbyte,
4X AGP, and 6 channels audio output. It can provide the strong
multimedia functions. Therefore EMB-830 can be broadly
implemented in several markets, such as Point of sale, point of
information (Kiosk), and gaming markets.
Slim form factor
If you are looking for a slim board for space-constrained
applications, EMB-830 is the one. EMB-830 is a low-profile
design, meanwhile it supports 6 USB2.0, mini PCI slots.
EMB-830 promises you the greatest expansion possibilities
with the most cost-effective expansion standards. With
numerous off-the-shelf Mini PCI modules, you get easy access
to solutions ranging from IEEE 1394, Modem, Storage, Sound
Card, SCSI card, Audio/Video capture card, Wireless LAN
module, to Bluetooth module. Especially for customers whose
application is various or changing, EMB-830 reserves more
than enough flexibility for future expansion.
EMB-830 provides 10/100Base-TX Fast Ethernet port as
standard. Talking about the display signal transmission,
EMB-830 integrated dual channel LVDS interface onboard,
which allows long distance display signal transmission.

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
