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.
1.2 Packing List
Before you begin installing your single board, please make sure that the
following materials have been shipped:
1 x ECM-CFS 3.5”Micro Module
1 x AUX-032 daughter board
1 x Cable set contains the followings:
—1 x Audio cable (12P/2.0mm-12P/ 2.0mm)
—1 x USB 2.0 cable (10P/2.0mm-10P/2.0mm)
—1 x Serial ATA cable (7P/1.27mm, standard)
—1 x Wire SATA power cable (15P/1.27mm-2P/2.0mm)
—1 x Flat Cable 9P(M)-PHD (10P/2.0mm)
3M foam (VHB-4622 10mm*20mm*1.1mm)

1.4 Manual Objectives
This manual describes in details Avalue Technology ECM-CFS Single Board.
We have tried to include as much information as possible but we have not duplicated
information that is provided in the standard IBM Technical References, unless it proved to
be necessary to aid in the understanding of this board.
We strongly recommend that you study this manual carefully before attempting to set up
ECM-CFS or change the standard configurations. Whilst all the necessary information is
available in this manual we would recommend that unless you are confident, you contact
your supplier for guidance.
Please be aware that it is possible to create configurations within the CMOS RAM that
make booting impossible. If this should happen, clear the CMOS settings, (see the
description of the Jumper Settings for details).
If you have any suggestions or find any errors regarding this manual and want to inform us
of these, please contact our Customer Service department with the relevant details.
