1.1 Introduction
Figure 1-1: WAFER-US15WP
The WAFER-US15WP is a 3.5" SBC with a 1.1 GHz Intel® Atom™ Z510P or 1.6 GHz
Intel® Atom™ Z530P CPU.
The WAFER-US15WP is designed for fanless operation. The low power CPUs don't
require active cooling and stay within specified heat range using the included cooling
solution.
Storage on the board is handled by an IDE port for connecting a hard drive, optical drive or
SSD. The CompactFlash® slot on the underside allows a Type I/II CompactFlash® card to
be installed.
The board has two graphics outputs. A VGA output connects to a traditional VGA monitor
and the LVDS connector is for an LCD panel.
Other slots and connectors include a PCIe Mini cards slot, RS-232, RS-232/422/485,
Gigabit Ethernet, audio input and output and digital I/O.

2.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING!
Static electricity can destroy certain electronics. Make sure to follow the
ESD precautions to prevent damage to the product, and injury to the
user.
Make sure to adhere to the following guidelines:
Wear an anti-static wristband: - Wearing an anti-static wristband can
prevent electrostatic discharge.
Self-grounding:- Touch a grounded conductor every few minutes to
discharge any excess static buildup.
Use an anti-static pad: When configuring any circuit board, place it on an
anti-static mat.
Only handle the edges of the PCB:- Don't touch the surface of the
motherboard. Hold the motherboard by the edges when handling.
2.2 Unpacking Precautions
When the WAFER-US15WP is unpacked, please do the following:
Follow the antistatic guidelines above.
Make sure the packing box is facing upwards when opening.
Make sure all the packing list items are present.
