ESD Precautions
Computer boards have integrated circuits sensitive to static electricity. To prevent chipsets
from electrostatic discharge damage, please take care of the following jobs with precautions:
Do not remove boards or integrated circuits from their anti-static packaging until you are
ready to install them.
Before holding the board or integrated circuit, touch an unpainted portion of the system
unit chassis for a few seconds. It discharges static electricity from your body.
Wear a wrist-grounding strap, available from most electronic component stores, when
handling boards and components.

Chapter 1
Introduction
The PICO50R is a Pico-ITX board with 6th Generation Intel®CoreTM i7/ i5/ i3 and Celeron®
processor and the PICO51R is with 7th Generation Intel®CoreTM i7/ i5/ i3 and Celeron®that
deliver outstanding system performance through high-bandwidth interfaces, multiple I/O
functions for interactive applications and various embedded computing solutions.
Both of them have one 260-pin unbuffered SO-DIMM socket for DDR4 2133MHz SO-DIMM
memory with maximum capacity up to 16GB. They also feature two Gigabit/Fast Ethernet, two
USB 3.0 and two USB 2.0 high speed compliant, one M.2 Key B for storage and one M.2 Key
E for wireless module. Additionally, they provide you with unique embedded features such as
two serial ports which support RS-232/422/485 and 2.5”form factor that applies an extensive

2.3 Assembly Drawing
For thermal dissipation, a thermal solution enables the PICO50R/51R’s components to
dissipate heat efficiently. All heat generating components are thermally conducted to the
heatspreader in order to avoid hot spots. Images below illustrate how to install the thermal
solution on PICO50R/51R.
1. Standard –Heatsink with fan for PICO50R/51R (see image below):
Note
Please pay attention to the position of fan cable when assembling heatsink.

2. Optional -- Heatspreader for PICO50R/51R (see image below):
Note
Heatspreader has a large, flat surface on top. It has no fan and no fins. Instead of
cooling by forced air, it is pressed directly up against another large flat surface
(for example: the frame or the inside wall of a sealed container) and heat is
allowed to pass from the small heatspreader out to the larger metal surface.
Heatspreader does not cool the CPU by itself, it only transfer the heat to another
object where it can safely dissipate away from the processor.
The standard heatsink with fan cannot be screwed above heatspreader.

2.4 Jumper and Switch Settings
Jumper is a small component consisting of jumper clip and jumper pins. Install jumper clip on 2
jumper pins to close. And remove jumper clip from 2 jumper pins to open. Below illustration
shows how to set up jumper.
Properly configure jumper and switch settings on the PICO50R/51R to meet your application
purpose. Below you can find a summary table of jumper, switch and onboard default settings.
Note
Once the default jumper or switch setting needs to be changed, please do it under
power-off condition.

2.4.1 LVDS +3.3V/+5V/+12V Voltage Selection (JP1)
The board supports voltage selection for flat panel displays. Use these jumpers to set
LVDS connector (CN4) pin 1~6 VCCM to +3.3V, +5V or +12V. To prevent hardware
damage, before connecting please make sure that the input voltage of flat panel is
correct.
2.4.2 Restore BIOS Optimal Defaults (SW1)
Use SW1 to clear CMOS. Press the tact switch for at least 3 second to restore BIOS
optimal defaults.
2.4.3 Auto Power On (SSW1)
If SSW1 is enabled for power input, the system will be automatically power on without
pressing soft power button. If SSW1 is disabled for power input, it is necessary to
manually press soft power button to power on the system.
