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.

IntroductionIntroduction
IntroductionIntroduction
Introduction
The SBC-676 is an all-in-one Celeron and Pentium III processor
based single board computer (SBC) with a ATI Rage Mobility Flat
Panel controller. When using an Intel Celeron processor, the SBC-
676 achieves outstanding performance that surpasses any other
SBCinits class. Dual Intel 82559GD 10/100 Base-TEthernet
controller ensures quality throughput and connectivity. In
addition, the onboard SSD interface supports M-systems DiskOn-
Chip2000 series, memory capacity from 2MB to 288 MB.
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 four IDE devices
can be connected, including large hard disks, CD-ROM drives, and
tape backup drives, etc.
TheSBC-676 also features powermanagement to minimize power
consumption. It complies with the APM standard and supports
three types of power saving features: Doze mode, Standby mode,
and Suspend mode. In addition, the board's watchdog timer can be
programmed to reset the system or generate an interrupt in case the
system stops due to a program bug or EMI.
Highly integrated SBC
The SBC-676 is a highly integrated SBC that combines video and
network functions on a single computer board. It provides up to
8MB SDRAM display memory. Major onboard devices adopt PCI
technology to achieve outstanding computing performance when
used with Intel Celeron level processors, making the SBC-676 one
of the world's best and most powerful all-in-one Single Board
Computers.

peripherals, switches, and indicators. Be
sure to read all the safety precautions
before you begin the installation proce-
dure.

Safety precautions
Warning! Always completely disconnect the power cord
from your chassis whenever you are working on it.
Do not make connections while the power is on
because sensitive electronic components can be
damagedby thesudden rushof power. Only
experiencedelectronicspersonnel shouldopen
the PC chassis.
Caution! Alwaysgroundyourself toremoveany
static charge before touching the CPU card.
Modernelectronic devicesarevery sensitiveto
static electric charges. Use a grounding wrist
strap at all times. Place all electronic components
on a static-dissipative surface or in a static-
shielded bag when they are not in the chassis.
Removing the CPU
The SBC-676 all-in-one CPU module supports most Pentium III and
Celeron CPUs. The system's performance depends on the CPU you
choose. You can install or upgrade the CPU in the board's PGA
socket by following the procedures outlined below. If your system
has an existing CPU, you need to remove it before installing the
newCPU.
Removing a CPU
1. Disconnect power from the chassis, and unplug all connections
to the CPU card. Then, remove the CPU card from the chassis
by following the instructions in the user's manual for your
chassis.
2. Lift the CPU out of the PGA socket. The old chip may be
difficult to remove. You may find spray chip lubricant, designed
for pin-grid-array (PGA) devices, and a chip puller helpful.
These are available at electronics hobbyists' supply stores.

Chapter 2 Installation 9
SBC-675B
Installing A CPU
To install the CPU, follow the instructions that came with it. If no
documentation was provided, the general procedures for installing
a CPU are outlined below:
1. Lubricate the pins on the CPU with lubricant for PGA devices.
This makes the CPU slide in much easier and greatly reduces
the chance of damaging the pins and other components.
2. Carefully align the CPU so that it is parallel to the socket. Make
sure that the notch on the corner of the CPU matches the notch
on the inside of the socket.
3. Gently push the CPU into the socket. There will probably be a
small gap between the CPU and the socket even when it is fully
seated.DONOTUSEEXCESSIVEFORCE!
When you install a new CPU, you may have to adjust other
settings on the board, such as CPU type, CPU clock, and PCI
speed, to accommodate it. Make sure that the settings are correct
foryour CPU.ImpropersettingsmaydamagetheCPU.

Installing DRAM (DIMMs)
System Memory
The SBC-676 contains three sockets for 168-pin dual inline memory
module (DIMM). The socket uses 3.3 V unbuffered synchronous
DRAM(SDRAM). DIMM is available incapacities of 16, 32, 64,128
or 256 MB. The socket can be filled in the DIMM of any size,
giving your SBC-676 single board computer between 16 and 512
MBof memory.
Supplementary information about DIMM
SBC-676canaccept PC-133 SDRAM DIMM Module(with or
without parity).
Single-sided modules are typically 16 or 64 MB; double-sided
modulesare usually 32, 128 or 256 MB.
Memory Installation Procedures
To install DIMM, first make sure the two handles of the DIMM
socket are in the "open" position. i.e. The handles remain outward.
Slowly slide the DIMM module along the plastic guides on both
ends of the socket. Then press the DIMM 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 DIMM socket. (See Figure below) To remove the
memory module, just push both handles outward, and the memory
module will be ejected by the mechanism in the socket.

Jumpers and connectors
Connectors on the board link it to external devices such as hard
disk drives, a keyboard, or floppy drives. In addition, the board
has a number of jumpers that allow you to configure your system
to suit your application.
