hardware and software used, etc.) Note anything abnormal and
list any on-screen messages you get when the problem occurs.
2. Call your dealer and describe the problem. Please have your
manual, product, and any helpful information readily available.

2PCM-6894 User Manual
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 4MB
SGRAMcomeswith128-bit2D/3DGraphicsEngine, built-in TV
encoder forNTSC/PAL support, enhanced multi-display and
hardwareaccelerated MPEG2/DVD playback. For advanced panel
display, SMI Lynx3DM+ adds an integrated LVDStransmitter
DualRTL8139CPCI-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,
oneRS-232/422/485), one multimode (ECP/EPP/SPP) parallelport,
dual USB ports, 2 floppy drives, an UltraDMA/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
