IB887 User’s Manual 1
Introduction
Product Description
The IB887 is a small footprint single board computer that is configured
with the Intel Atom processor N270 at 1.6GHz, FSB533 and the Mobile
Intel 945GSE Express Chipset with the ICH7M.
This 3.5-inch disk-size embedded board provides greater flexibility for
developers of embedded computing solutions. It is ideally suited for
rugged and compact designs as in Internet devices and applications in
automation, industrial control, data acquisition, thin client and other
embedded PC applications.
IB887 features the Intel's Graphics Media Accelerator 950 core, making
it compatible with Windows Vista Premium, and Chrontel CH7308 for
24-bit dual LVDS channel. One DDR2 SO-DIMM on board implements
up to 1GB of system memory. Dual Gigabit LAN is also available.
Advanced connectivity and expansion interfaces are provided by one
IDE, one high-speed SATA-II, two serial ports, fourUSB 2.0 ports and a
CF socket. Dimensions of the board are 102x147mm.

Installations
This section provides information on how to use the jumpers and
connectors on the IB887 in order to set up a workable system. The topics
covered are:
Installing the Memory ........................................................................... 6
Setting the Jumpers................................................................................ 7
Connectors on IB887........................................................................... 11

INSTALLATIONS
Installing the Memory
The IB887 board supports one DDR2 memory socket that can support
up to 1GB memory, DDR2 400/533 (w/o ECC function).
Installing and Removing Memory Modules
To install the DDR2 modules, locate the memory slot on the board and
perform the following steps:
1. Hold the DDR2 module so that the key of the DDR2 module aligns
with that on the memory slot. Insert the module into the socket at a
slight angle (approximately 30 degrees). Note that the socket and
module are both keyed, which means that the module can be installed
only in one direction.
2. To seat the memory module into the socket, apply firm and even
pressure to each end of the module until you feel it slip down into the
socket.
3. With the module properly seated in the socket, rotate the module
downward. Continue pressing downward until the clips at each end
lock into position.
4. To remove the DDR2 module, press the clips with both hands.
