Safety Instructions
Integrated circuits on computer boards are sensitive to static electricity.
To avoid damaging chips from electrostatic discharge, observe the
following precautions:
 Do not remove boards or integrated circuits from their anti-static
packaging until you are ready to install them.
 Before handling a board or integrated circuit, touch an unpainted portion
of the system unit chassis for a few seconds. This helps to discharge any
static electricity on your body.
 Wear a wrist-grounding strap, available from most electronic component
stores, when handling boards and components. Fasten the ALLIGATOR
clip of the strap to the end of the shielded wire lead from a grounded
object. Please wear and connect the strap before handle the HS-6238 to
ensure harmlessly discharge any static electricity through the strap.
 Please use an anti-static pad when putting down any components or
parts or tools outside the computer. You may also use an anti-static bag
instead of the pad. Please inquire from your local supplier for additional
assistance in finding the necessary anti-static gadgets.
NOTE: DO NOT TOUCH THE BOARD OR ANY OTHER SENSITIVE
COMPONENTS WITHOUT ALL NECESSARY ANTI-STATIC
PROTECTION.

Chapter 1
General Description
The HS-6238 is a 133MHz FSB Intel®82815 chipset-based board
designed for PCI-ISA Bus Celeron™/Coppermine™/Tualatin™
800MHz~1.2GHz CPU compatibility. These features combine and
make the HS-6238 an ideal all-in-one industrial single board computer.
Additional features include an enhanced I/O with 4COM ports, Dual
LAN and CRT/Panel interface.
Its onboard ATA/33/66/100 to IDE drive interface architecture allows
the HS-6238 to support data transfers of 33, 66 or 100MB/sec. to each
IDE drive connection. Designed with the Intel® 82815 core logic
chipset, the board supports all Celeron™/Coppermine™/Tualatin™
CPU series operating at 800MHz to 1.2GHz. The 82815 integrated
CRT/Panel display controller supports up to 1280 x 1024 at 16-bit CRT
high color resolution, and a digital RGB interface for panel displays.
For suitable installation into any size system with 8/16/32-bit ISA and/or
PCI slots operation, the board’s advanced PCI-ISA bus add-on feature
allows user to easily obtain both ISA's 16-bit and PCI's 32-bit full set
signals from a half-size PCI-ISA slot. System memory is also sufficient
with the two DIMM sockets that can support up to 512MB.

2
Additional onboard connectors include an advanced USB and IrDA
ports providing faster data transmission, and two external RJ-45
connectors for 10/100 Based Ethernet use.
To ensure the reliability in an unmanned or standalone system, the
Watchdog Timer (WDT) onboard HS-6238 is designed with pure
hardware that does not need the arithmetical functions of a real-time
clock chip. If any program causes unexpected halts to the system, the
onboard Watchdog Timer (WDT) will automatically reset the CPU or
generate an interrupt to resolve such condition.
