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.

2.2 Jumper and Connector List
You can configure your board 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 two pins.
The jumper settings are schematically depicted in this manual as follows:
A pair of needle-nose pliers may be helpful when working with jumpers.
Connectors on the board are linked 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.
If you have any doubts about the best hardware configuration for your application, contact
your local distributor or sales representative before you make any changes.
The following tables list the function of each of the board's jumpers and connectors.

Note: If the CF is set as master, ECM-3512 will allow only one device to be
connected, such as one HDD or one CD-ROM. At this time, the HDD or
CD-ROM will be slave device. If the CF is set as slave, you may connect 2
IDE devices on 44-pin IDE port (IDE1); however, you can not use CD-ROM if
this is the case. If the CF is set as slave, and you also want to use CFcard,
you may connect one device (such as HDD) on 44-pin IDE port (IDE1).
In this case, the master will be HDD and slave will be CF.

2.3.19.1 Signal Description –LVDS Connecter (LVDS1)
Signal
Description
I2C_DAT, I2C_CLK
I2C interface for panel parameter EEPROM. This EERPOM is mounted on the
LVDS receiver. The data in the EEPROM allows the EXT module to automatically
set the proper timing parameters for a specific LCD panel.
