product and its components. To keep product safety and operability it is necessary to handle
it with care and follow the ESD safety directions.
Warning!
This sign marks warnings about hot surfaces. The surface of the heatsink and some
components can get very hot during operation. Take due care when handling, avoid
touching hot surfaces!
Caution: Electric Shock!
This symbol warns about danger of electrical shock (> 60 V) when touching products or
parts of them. Failure to observe the indicated precautions and directions may expose your
life to danger and may lead to damage to your product.
Warning!
Information marked by this symbol is essential for human and equipment safety.
Read this information attentively, be watchful.
Note...
This symbol and title marks important information to be read attentively for your own benefit.

General Safety Precautions
This product was developed for fault-free operation. Its design provides conformance to all related
safety requirements. However, the life of this product can be seriously shortened by improper
handling and incorrect operation. That is why it is necessary to follow general safety and
operational instructions below.
Warning!
All operations on this device must be carried out by sufficiently
skilled personnel only.
Warning!
When handling this product, special care must be taken not to hit
the heatsink (if installed) against another rigid object. Also, be
careful not to drop the product, since this may cause damage
to the heatsink, CPU or other sensitive components as well.
Please, keep in mind that any physical damage to this product
is not covered under warranty.
Note:
This product is guaranteed to operate within the published
temperature ranges and relevant conditions. However, prolonged
operation near the maximum temperature is not recommended by
Fastwel or by electronic chip manufacturers due to thermal stress
related failure mechanisms. These mechanisms are common to all
silicon devices, they can reduce the MTBF of the product by
increasing the failure probability. Prolonged operation at the lower
limits of the temperature ranges has no limitations.
Caution, Electric Shock!
Before installing this product into a system and before installing
other devices on it, always ensure that your mains power is switched
off.
Always disconnect external power supply cables during all handling
and maintenance operations with this module to avoid serious
danger of electrical shock.

Unpacking, Inspection and Handling
Please read the manual carefully before unpacking the module or mounting the device into your
system. Keep in mind the following:
ESD Sensitive Device!
Electronic modules and their components are sensitive to static
electricity. Even a non-perceptible by human being static discharge
can be sufficient to destroy or degrade a component's operation!
Therefore, all handling operations and inspections of this product
must be performed with due care, in order to keep product integrity
and operability:
Preferably, unpack or pack this product only at EOS/ESD safe workplaces. Otherwise, it is
important to be electrically discharged before touching the product. This can be done by
touching a metal part of your system case with your hand or tool. It is particularly important
to observe anti-static precautions when setting jumpers or replacing components.
If the product contains batteries for RTC or memory back-up, ensure that the module is not
placed on conductive surfaces, including anti-static mats or sponges. This can cause short-
circuit and result in damage to the battery and other components.
Store this product in its protective packaging while it is not used for operational purposes.
Unpacking
The product is carefully packed in an antistatic bag and in a carton box to protect it against
possible damage and harmful influence during shipping. Unpack the product indoors only at a
temperature not less than +15°C and relative humidity not more than 70%. Please note, that if the
product was exposed to the temperatures below 0°C for a long time, it is necessary to keep it at
normal conditions for at least 24 hours before unpacking. Do not keep the product close to a heat
source.
Following ESD precautions, carefully take the product out of the shipping carton box. Proper
handling of the product is critical to ensure correct operation and long-term reliability. When
unpacking the product, and whenever handling it thereafter, be sure to hold the module preferably
by the front panel, card edges or ejector handles. Avoid touching the components and connectors.
Retain all original packaging at least until the warranty period is over. You may need it for
shipments or for storage of the product.
Initial Inspection
Although the product is carefully packaged, it is still possible that shipping damages may occur.
Careful inspection of the shipping carton can reveal evidence of damage or rough handling. Should
you notice that the package is damaged, please notify the shipping service and the manufacturer
as soon as possible. Retain the damaged packing material for inspection.
After unpacking the product, you should inspect it for visible damage that could have occurred
during shipping or unpacking. If damage is observed (usually in the form of bent component leads
or loose socketed components), contact Fastwel's official distributor from which you have
purchased the product for additional instructions. Depending on the severity of the damage, the
product may even need to be returned to the factory for repair. DO NOT apply power to the product
if it has visible damage. Doing so may cause further, possibly irreparable damage, as well as result
in a fire or electric shock hazard.
If the product contains socketed components, they should be inspected to make sure they are
seated fully in their sockets.

3.2 Functional Description
3.2.1 SM722G8 Display Controller
The Lynx3DM+ (SM722G8) is a low power display controller from Silicon Motion incorporating
8 MB of video memory. It communicates with other modules in stack via PCI bus (PC/104-Plus
connector). The display controller features the 32-bit VGA core, 200 MHz RAMDAC, and ability to
work with three displays (RGB, FP, and LVDS interfaces) simultaneously. The details can be found
at http://www.siliconmotion.com.
3.2.2 Video BIOS
Video BIOS is stored in a soldered chip. It provides ACPI 1.0 support as well as support for
MS DOS6.22, FDOS 6.22, QNX 6.3, Windows 98, Me, NT, 2K, XP, CE 4.2, and Linux 2.6
operating systems.
