1.1 Introduction
AAEON new compact size board PCM-6897/Ltargets high-end
multimedia and networking applications. Easy Upgrading allows you
to take full advantage of Intel®Development of even-higher speed
Tualatin, Pentium®III andCeleron®processors. This is a perfect
choice for embedded applications that require cost-effective,high
computing performance features.
PCM-6897 and PCM-6897L differs in the display support to fit your
different system requirement. ForVGA or non-display application,
PCM-6897L would be a more cost-effective solution. However,
targeting to serve high-end multimedia markets, PCM-6897 is
equipped with SMI 722 graphic controller to offer you excellent
visual performance.
PCM-6897/L features power management to minimize power
consumption. It complies with the ACPI standard and supports
power-saving features which is 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 CompactFlash 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 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-6897/L 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/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.

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
