Chapter 1 Introduction
Thank you for choosing the WAFER-4826EV SERIES STPC-DX2 133 CPU Board.
The WAFER-4826EV SERIES Board (denoted as WAFER-4826EV in other parts of
the manual) is an all-in-one CPU board with PC/104 for space-limited applications.
It provides all the functionalities of a full-fledged computer.
In addition, the WAFER-4826EV provides a VGA & LCD display controller on board,
which can support CRT/LCD resolutions up to 1024x768@64K colors.
This board has a built-in Compact Flash Interface for embedded applications. The
CF is a 100% software compatible hard disk. Users can use any DOS command
without any additional software utilities.

2.2 Unpacking Precautions
Some components on WAFER-4826EV SBC are very sensitive to static and can be
damaged by a sudden power surge. To protect it from unintentional damage,
please be sure to follow these precautions:
 Ground yourself to remove any static charge before touching WAFER-4826EV
SBC. You can do it by using an anti-static wrist strap connected to the
ground or by frequently touching any grounded conducting materials.
 Handle your WAFER-4826EV SBC by its edges. Do not touch IC chips, leads
or circuitry as far as possible.
 Do not plug in any connectors or set any jumpers when the power is on.
2.3 Compact Flash Mode Setting (JP1)
The Compact Flash on the WAFER-4826EV is Type II, and it uses IDE2.
