1.1 Introduction
AAEON new compact size board PCM-6894 targets high-end multimedia
and networking applications. This board is supported by Intel Celeron ,
Pentium III and Tualatin CPUs. Easy upgrading allows full utilization of
Intel Development of even-higher speed CPUs. This is a perfect choice for
embedded applications that require cost-effective high computing power
communications Products whether video, voice, or data convergence over
Internet Protocol network infrastructures.
The PCM-6894 features power management to minimize 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.
Onboard SMI Lynx3DM+ 722 display chip with embedded 4or 8MB
SGRAM comes with 128-bit 2D/3D Graphics Engine, built-in TV encoder
for NTSC/PAL support, enhanced multi-display and hardware accelerated
MPEG2/DVD playback. For advanced panel display, SMI Lynx3DM+ adds
an integrated LVDS transmitter
Dual RTL 8139C PCI-bus 10/100Base-Tx Ethernet controllers onboard
provide superior networking access ability. The Ethernet interface and
Sound Blaster-compatible audio opens up worlds of possibilities for kiosks,
gaming systems, POS systems, medical and education markets.
The onboard compact flash will offer a larger memory bank for data storage

of all types. Compact Flash 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.
PCM-6894 also includes four high-speed serial ports (three RS-232, one
RS-232/422/485), one multimode (ECP/EPP/SPP) parallel port, dual USB
ports, 2 floppy drives, an Ultra DMA/100 Enhanced IDE controller
supporting up to two devices with data transfer rate up to 100MB 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.
The addition of PCI slot and PC/104 connector will allow a wide selection
of accessory cards to be added to the PCM-6894 such as Ultra Wide 2 SCSI,
fax modem, vehicle power supply, extra DiskOnChip, PCMCIA module,
etc.

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
