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

1 x power cord
4 x screws for VESA
4 x screws for HDD
8 x screws for wall mount

•Main Memory
EMX-BYT2 provides 2 x 204-pin DDR3L 1333MHz SODIMMs.
SODIMM module.
Note:
The Platform requires DDR3L SODIMMs to be populated starting with the SODIMM
at DIMM1.
•SD Card
USB Low & Full speed (@3.3V) Transmit traffic AF% less than 10% (max 50TB over
lifespan) per port or use only High Speed or Super Speed USB devicesUSB Receive traffic
is not affected. Connecting Low or Full Speed devices through a USB2 High Speed (or
greater) hub mitigates the issue.
•SD Card (operating at 3.3V) AF% less than 10%. UHS-1 cards operating at 1.8V are
not affected.
Usage of SD cards operating at 3.3V should be minimized and usage should be limited
to UHS-I type SD cards operating at 1.8V. Inserting the SD card, and leaving it in the
system, as extended storage, reduces the life of the interface. Occasional usage of SD card,

inserting the card –transferring data to or from the SD card-then removing the SD card, is
not a concern. Customers have the option to enable a default D3 device setting to extend
the life of the SD card interface, if supported by the OS.

2.5 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.
