1. Getting Started
1.1 Safety Precautions
Warning!
Always completely disconnect the power cord from your
chassis whenever you work with the hardware. Do not
make connections while the power is on. Sensitive
electronic components can be damaged by sudden power
surges. Only experienced electronics personnel should
open the PC chassis.
Caution!
Always ground yourself to remove any static charge before
touching the CPU card. Modern electronic devices are very
sensitive to static electric charges. As a safety precaution,
use a grounding wrist strap at all times. Place all electronic
components in a static-dissipative surface or static-shielded
bag when they are not in the chassis.

Note:
1. If user want to install Win 8.1 Pro OS on eMMC of EMX-BSWP motherboard, User must do:
A. BIOS setup menu must select eMMC mode with “PCI mode”(because selection with “ACPI mode” during
OS install, OS cannot find eMMC to install).
B. Windows OS must use Microsoft Win 8.1 Pro with update version of OS image to install.
2. Brightness control method choose ”OS driver”, due to Win7 VGA Driver will cause brightness at 100%,
Backlight adjustment only support to maximum voltage to 2.5V. Therefore, should change item value string as
Image 1, when choose Brightness control method ”OS driver”, please use OS Win8/10.
3. Win7 does not support SD card.
4. When OS is Win7/DOS(default), please choose “Legacy System/Win7” at BIOS setup item. When OS is
Win8/10, please choose “Win8/Win10” at BIOS setup item (Please refer page.65 BOM Config settings.)
5. Specifications are subject to change without notice.
