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-6237/HS-6637 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-6237/HS-6637 is a Intel®BX chipset-based board designed for
PCI-ISA/ISA Bus Celeron™/Coppermine™ compatibility. These
features combine and make the HS-6237/ HS-6637 an ideal all-in-one
industrial single board computer. Additional features include an
enhanced I/O with CRT/Panel and LAN interface.
The onboard ATA/33 for mode 3 to IDE drive interface architecture
supports a maximum data transfer rate of 33.3 MB/sec to a single IDE
drive connection. Designed with the Intel® 82443BX/82371EB core
logic chipset, the board supports all Celeron™/Coppermine™ CPU
series operating at 500MHz to 850MHz. The C&T 69000 CRT/Panel
display controller offers an on-chip 2MB memory that supports up to
1280 x 1024 x 256 colors display resolution.
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, a DOS-compatible
DiskOnChipsocket with a maximum capacity of 288MB, and one
external RJ-45 connector for 10/100 Based Ethernet use.
To ensure the reliability in an unmanned or standalone system, the
Watchdog Timer (WDT) onboard HS-6237/HS-6637 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.
1.1 Major Features

Unpacking
2.1 Opening the Delivery Package
The HS-6237/HS-6637 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

3.5 Configuring the CPU
The HS-6237/HS-6637 offers the convenience in CPU installation with
its auto-detect feature. After installing a new microprocessor onboard,
the HS-6237/HS-6637 automatically identifies the frequency and clock
speed of the installed microprocessor chip, thereby eliminating the
need for user to do additional CPU configuration or hardware settings
related to it.
3.6 System Memory
The HS-6237/HS-6637 provides two DIMM sockets at locations CN7
and CN8. The maximum capacity of the onboard memory is 512MB.
3.7 DiskOnChipAddress Setting
The DiskOnChipfunction allows the system to boot or operate
without a FDD or a HDD. DiskOnChipmodules 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 U9 location onboard the HS-6237/HS-6637 is the DiskOnChip
module socket. JP9 (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-6237/HS-6637 and the
additional memory device function properly.
