1.1 Introduction
Aaeon new compact size board PCM-6893 targets high-end
multimedia and networking applications. Easy Upgrading allows you
to take full advantage of Intel®Development of even-higher speed
Tualatin, Pentium®III and Celeron®processors. This is a perfect
choice for embedded applications that require cost-effective,high
computing performance features.
This board offers two alternatives of power supply type: AT and
ATX. You can select whichever suitable for your application. ATX
power consumption. It complies with the ACPI standard and
supports three types of power-saving features: Doze mode, Standby
and Suspend modes. The board watchdog timer automatically resets
the system or generates an interrupt in case the system stops due to a
program bug or EMI.
The onboard Compact Flash will offer a larger memory bank for data
storage of all types. CompactFlash requires a fraction of power used
to drive floppy disk or CD-ROMs, also no battery is required to save
the data when the computer powers down.
The PCM6893comes with VIA 8606 Twister T North Bridge
integrated AGP 4x 2D/3D graphics accelerator. With 36-bit dual
channel LVDS interface and TTL signal, you can utilize this board to
display CRT and up to 36-bit TFT LCD panels.
The onboard 10/100BaseTx Ethernet interface and Sound
Blaster-compatible audio opens up worlds of possibilities for kiosks,
gaming systems, POS systems, medical and educational products. The
Fast Ethernet controller provides a tenfold increase in Network
capability,and is fully compatible with traditional 10Mbps network
facilities.
PCM-6893 also includes four high-speed serial ports (three RS-232,
one RS-232/422/485), one multimode (ECP/EPP/SPP) parallel port,
2 floppy drives, four USB ports, an Ultra DMA/33 enhanced IDE
controller supporting up to two devices with data transfer rate up to
33MB per second, and a keyboard/PS/2 mouse interface. This
Aaeon embedded PC includes almost everything you need for fast,
worry-free embedded PC performance.

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
