A Message to the Customer
AAEON Customer Services
Each and every AAEON product is built to the most exacting
specifications to ensure reliable performance in the harsh and
demanding conditions typical of industrial environments. Whether
your new AAEON equipment is destined for the laboratory or the
factory floor, you can be assured that your product will provide the
reliability and ease of operation for which the name AAEON has

Your satisfaction is our primary concern. Here is a guide to
AAEON's customer services. To ensure you get the full benefit of
our services, please follow the instructions below carefully.
Technical Support
We want you to get the maximum performance from your products.
So if you run into technical difficulties, we are here to help. For the
most frequently asked questions, you can easily find answers in
your product documentation. These answers are normally a lot
more detailed than the ones we can give over the phone.
So please consult this manual first. If you still cannot find the
answer, gather all the information or questions that apply to your
problem, and with the product close at hand, call your dealer. Our
dealers are well trained and ready to give you the support you need
to get the most from your AAEON products. In fact, most problems
reported are minor and are able to be easily solved over the phone.
In addition, free technical support is available from AAEON
engineers every business day. We are always ready to give advice
on application requirements or specific information on the installa-
tion and operation of any of our products.

Product Warranty
AAEON warrants to you, the original purchaser, that each of its
products will be free from defects in materials and workmanship for
one year from the date of purchase.
This warranty does not apply to any products which have been
repaired or altered by persons other than repair personnel autho-
rized by AAEON, or which have been subject to misuse, abuse,
accident or improper installation. AAEON assumes no liability
under the terms of this warranty as a consequence of such events.
Because of AAEON's high quality-control standards and rigorous
testing, most of our customers never need to use our repair service.
If an AAEON product is defective, it will be repaired or replaced at
no charge during the warranty period. For out-of-warranty repairs,
you will be billed according to the cost of replacement materials,
service time, and freight. Please consult your dealer for more
details.
If you think you have a defective product, follow these steps:
1. Collect all the information about the problem encountered. (For
example, CPU type and speed, AAEON products used, other
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.
3. If your product is diagnosed as defective, obtain an RMA
(return material authorization) number from your dealer. This
allows us to process your return more quickly.
4. Carefully pack the defective product, a fully-completed Repair
and Replacement Order Card and a photocopy proof of pur-
chase date (such as your sales receipt) in a shippable container.
A product returned without proof of the purchase date is not
eligible for warranty service.
5. Write the RMA number visibly on the outside of the package
and ship it prepaid to your dealer.

2SBC-558P User Manual
Introduction
The SBC-558P is an all-in-one Intel processor based single board
computer(SBC)with a PCI Flat Panel controller,two PCI 100Base-
Tx Ethernet interface. The SBC-558P achieves outstanding perfor-
mance that surpasses any other SBC in its class. In addition, the
onboard SSD interface supports M-systems DiskOnChip 2000
series,memory capacity up to 1GB.
Onboard features include two serial ports (one RS-232, one RS-232/
422/485),onemulti-modeparallel(ECP/EPP/SPP)port,connectorfor
two USB (Universal Serial Bus) ports, a floppy drive controller, and
a keyboard/PS/2 mouse interface. The built-in high speed PCI IDE
controller supports Ultra DMA/33 mode. Up to two IDE devices
can be connected, including large hard disks, CD-ROM drives, and
tape backup drives, etc.
TheSBC-558P also features power managementto minimize power
consumption. It complies with the ACPI standard and supports
three types of power saving features: Doze mode, Standby mode,
and Suspend mode. In addition, the board's watchdog timer can
automatically reset the system or generate an interrupt in case the
system stops due to a program bug or EMI.
Highly integrated SBC
The SBC-558P is a highly integrated SBC that combines, video, and
network functions on a single computer board. It provides up to
1024x 768 resolution @ 64Kcolorswith on-chip 2MB SDRAM
display memory. Major onboard devices adopt PCI technology to
achieve outstanding computing performance making the SBC-558P
one of the world's best and most powerful all-in-one Single Board
Computer.

Installation
This chapter describes how to set up the
main board hardware, including instruc-
tions on setting jumpers and connecting
peripherals, switches, and indicators. Be
sure to read all the safety precautions
before you begin the installation proce-
dure.

10 SBC-558P Installation GuideBC-599/596
Setting jumpers
You can configure your card to match the needs of your application
by setting jumpers. A jumper is the simplest kind of electric switch.
It consists of two metal pins and a small metal clip (often protected
by a plastic cover) that slides over the pins to connect them. To
“close” a jumper you connect the pins with the clip. To “open” a
jumper you remove the clip. Sometimes a jumper will have three
pins, labeled 1, 2, and 3. In this case you would connect either pins
1 and 2 or 2 and 3.
The jumper settings are schematically depicted in this manual as
follows:
A pair of needle-nose pliers may be helpful when working with
jumpers.
If you have any doubts about the best hardware configuration for
your application, contact your local distributor or sales representa-
tive before you make any changes.

SBC-558P Installation Guide 11
Installing SDRAM (SODIMMs)
System Memory
The upper edge of the SBC-558P contains one sockets for 144 pins
dual inline memory module (SODIMM). The socket uses 3.3 V
unbuffered synchronous (SDRAM). SODIMM is available in capaci-
tiesof16,32,64,128,or256MB.Thesocketcanbefilledinthe
SODIMM of any size, giving your SBC-558P single board computer
between 16 and 256 MB of memory.
Note:There were two memory modules in the original design.
Because of thermal and mechnical limitation, we remove one of the
memory socket.
Supplementary information about SODIMM
YourSBC-558P can accept both regularandPC-100 SDRAM
SODIMM Module(with or without parity). The SBC-558P can only
acceptPC-100SDRAMSODIMM Module.
Single-sided modules are typically 16 or 64 MB; double-sided
modulesareusually32or128MB.
Memory Installation Procedures
To install SODIMM, first make sure the two handles of the
SODIMM socket are in the "open" position. i.e. The handles remain
outward. Slowly slide the SODIMM module along the plastic
guides on both ends of the socket. Then press the SODIMM
module right down into the socket, until you hear a click. This is
when the two handles have automatically locked the memory
module into the correct position of the SODIMM socket. (See
Figure below) To take away the memory module, just push both
handles outward, and the memory module will be ejected by the
mechanism in the socket.
