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-2604 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-2604 is a 100/133MHz FSB VIA VT8606 chipset-based board
designed for Mini PCI Local Bus VIA C3 EDEN 400/667MHz
Embedded CPU. These features combine and make the HS-2604 an
ideal all-in-one industrial single board computer. Additional features
include an enhanced I/O with CRT/Panel, three LAN, and 4COM ports
interfaces.
Its onboard ATA/33/66/100 to IDE drive interface architecture allows
the HS-2604 to support data transfers of 33, 66 or 100MB/sec. to one
IDE drive connection. Designed with the VIA VT8606 core logic
chipset, the board supports VIA C3 EDEN 400/667MHz Embedded
CPU. The VIA VT8606 integrated S3 3D supporting CRT/Panel
displays up to 1920 x 1440.
System memory is also sufficient with the one SO-DIMM socket that
can support up to 256MB.
Additional onboard connectors include an advanced USB and IrDA
ports providing faster data transmission, a DOS-compatible
DiskOnChipsocket with a maximum capacity of 288MB. And two
external RJ-45 connectors and one 10-pin header for 10/100 Based
Ethernet use.

2
To ensure the reliability in an unmanned or standalone system, the
Watchdog Timer (WDT) onboard HS-2604 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.

Unpacking
2.1 Opening the Delivery Package
The HS-2604 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-2604 delivery package

3.5 Configuring the CPU
The HS-2604 embedded with a VIA C3 EDEN 400/667MHz CPU. User
don’t need to adjust the frequently and check speed of VIA C3 EDEN
CPU.
3.6 System Memory
The HS-2604 provides one SO-DIMM socket at locations DM1. The
maximum capacity of the onboard memory is 256MB.
3.7 DiskOnChipAddress Setting
The DiskOnChipfunction allows the system to boot or operate
without a FDD or a HDD. DiskOnChipmodules may be formatted as
drive C or A. With DiskOnChip, user may also execute DOS
commands such as FORMAT, SYS, COPY, XCOPY, DISCOPY and
DISKCOMP etc.
The U1 location onboard the HS-2604 is the DiskOnChipmodule
socket. Jumper JP4(1-4) assigns the starting memory address of the
installed module. If you have another memory device that has a similar
memory capacity with that of the DOC in your system, please set both
at different memory address mapping to avoid the mapping area
conflicts. Failing to do so will not make the HS-2604 and the additional
memory device function properly.

3.7.1 Installing DiskOnChipModules
When installing a DiskOnChipmodule onto your board, please take
note of the following:
1. Orient yourself properly with the location of the DiskOnChip
socket. Try to locate the pin 1 location on your socket. Pin
numbers are usually printed on either the component side or the
solder side of your board.
2. Locate the Pin 1 location on your DiskOnChipmodule. More
often than not, Pin 1 can be found on the lower right corner of
the chip. Please refer to the diagram for the exact location.
3. Once you have figured out where the pin 1 locations are on both
chip and socket, align the module’s pins on an upright angle
against the socket. Using both thumbs, gently press the module
into the socket until all the pins are secured to their
designations.

4. The installation is now complete and your module is now ready
for use.
NOTE: If you encounter difficulty installing your DiskOnChip
module,
please consult a qualified technician or engineer to perform the
installation.
3.7.2 Removing DiskOnChipModules
When removing a DiskOnChipmodule from its socket, please take
note of the following:
1. Loosen the contact of the module from its socket using a
screwdriver.

12
2. Insert the screwdriver’s flat head into a gap on either end of the
socket. Do not insert the screwdriver head on either side where
the pins are located. Doing so might damage the pins in the
process.
3. Slowly lift the screwdriver handle upwards. This will disengage
the module from its socket.
NOTE: If you encounter difficulty removing your DiskOnChip
module,
please consult a qualified technician or engineer to remove it for
you.
3.8 VGA Controller
The HS-2604 provides three connection methods of a VGA device.
CN21 offers a single standard CRT connector (5x2 header) while
CN20 is the 50-pin panel connector and CN22 is the LVDS interface
connector onboard reserved for flat panel installation.
