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.

2.3 Assembly Drawing
For thermal dissipation, a thermal solution enables the PICO511’s components to dissipate
heat efficiently. All heat generating components are thermally conducted to the heatsink in
order to avoid hot spots. Images below illustrate how to install the thermal solution on
PICO511.
1. Heatsink for PICO511 (see image below):
2. Heatspreader for PICO511 (see image below):
Before installing
heatsink, please
apply thermal grease
at this area.

4. The PICO511 has four assembly holes for installation. Align and firmly secure thermal
solution and AX93A07 I/O board to PICO511. Be careful not to over-tighten the screws.

2.4 Jumper 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 settings on the PICO511 to meet your application purpose. Below
you can find a summary table of jumpers and onboard default settings.
Note
Once the default jumper setting needs to be changed, please do it under power-off
condition.

2.4.1 Restore BIOS Optimal Defaults (JP2)
Put jumper clip to pin 2-3 for a few seconds then move it back to pin 1-2. Doing this
procedure can restore BIOS optimal defaults.
2.4.2 Auto Power On (JP3)
If JP3 is enabled for power input, the system will be automatically power on without
pressing soft power button. If JP3 is disabled for power input, it is necessary to manually
press soft power button to power on the system.
2.4.3 LVDS Voltage Selection (JP4)
The board supports voltage selection for flat panel displays. Use this jumper to set LVDS
connector (CN12) 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.
