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-1770 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
PROTECTIONS.

General Description
The HS-1770 is a VIA CX700(M) chipset-based board designed. The
HS-1770 is an ideal all-in-one mITX board. Additional features include
an enhanced I/O with CF, CRT/LVDS, TV-Out, dual LAN, audio,
SPDIF, SATA, 4 COM, USB2.0, and PC/104 interfaces.
Its onboard ATA/33/66/100 to IDE drive interface architecture allows
the HS-1770 to support data transfers of 33, 66 or 100MB/sec. to one
IDE drive connection. Designed with the VIA CX700(M), the board
supports VIA V4 Eden 1GHz CPU.
The VIA CX700(M) with 32/64/128MB shared main memory supporting
CRT/Panel displays up to 1920 x 1440. It also supports 18-bit single
channel/36-bit dual channel LVDS interface supporting up to 1600 x
1200.
System memory is also sufficient with the one DDRII socket that can
support up to 1G.
Additional onboard connectors include an advanced USB2.0 port
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-1770 is designed with software
that does not need the arithmetical functions of a real-time clock chip. If
any program causes unexpected halts to the system, the onboard WDT
will automatically reset the CPU or generate an interrupt to resolve
such condition.

Unpacking
2.1 Opening the Delivery Package
The HS-1770 is packed in an anti-static bag. The board has
components that are easily damaged by static electricity. Do not
remove the anti-static wrapping until proper precautions have been
taken. Safety Instructions in front of this manual describe anti-static
precautions and procedures.
2.2 Inspection
After unpacking the board, place it on a raised surface and carefully
inspect the board for any damage that might have occurred during
shipment. Ground the board and exercise extreme care to prevent
damage to the board from static electricity.
Integrated circuits will sometimes come out of their sockets during
shipment. Examine all integrated circuits, particularly the BIOS,
processor, memory modules, ROM-Disk, and keyboard controller chip
to ensure that they are firmly seated. The HS-1770 delivery package
contains the following items:
 HS-1770 Board x 1
