1.1 Introduction
AAEON debuts our newest compact media single board computer
offering VGA, TV-Output and Intel quality chipset. This compact
sized single board computer features a new level of multimedia performance.
This single board computer incorporates the VGA interface with Intel
Extreme Graphic 2.Our first media PC that supports up to 64 MB of
shared display memory with dynamic video memory technology.
Throughout our R&D goal was to offer our customers a higher quality
visual displays platform.
The Ethernet interface is controlled by the newest 82541GI Gigabit
Ethernet controller that can allow users surf on the unprecedented
high-speed Internet. Our surrounding sound effect quality audio interface is
controlled by the Realtek ALC 65X chipset with 6 channels speakers and
S/PDIF.
Central Processing Units can support the latest Intel Pentium M and Celeron
M Processors. Meanwhile, the low voltage version is optional for user to
purchase. The low voltage version allows you operate the system in the most
tough environment with the stiff conditions and no worries at all on the
system stability.

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 astatic-shielded bag when they are not
in the chassis
