We want you to get the maximum performance from your products.
So if you run into technical difficulties, we are here to help. For the
most frequently asked questions, you can easily find answers in
your product documentation. These answers are normally a lot
more detailed than the ones we can give over the phone.
So please consult this manual first. If you still cannot find the
answer, gather all the information or questions that apply to your
problem, and with the product close at hand, call your dealer. Our
dealers are well trained and ready to give you the support you need
to get the most from your AAEON products. In fact, most problems
reported are minor and are able to be easily solved over the phone.
In addition, free technical support is available from AAEON
engineers every business day. We are always ready to give advice
on application requirements or specific information on the installa-
tion and operation of any of our products.

Product Warranty
AAEON warrants to you, the original purchaser, that each of its
products will be free from defects in materials and workmanship for
two years from the date of shipment.
This warranty does not apply to any products which have been
repaired or altered by persons other than repair personnel autho-
rized by AAEON, or which have been subject to misuse, abuse,
accident or improper installation. AAEON assumes no liability
under the terms of this warranty as a consequence of such events.
Because of AAEON's high quality-control standards and rigorous
testing, most of our customers never need to use our repair service.
If an AAEON product is defective, it will be repaired or replaced at
no charge during the warranty period. For out-of-warranty repairs,
you will be billed according to the cost of replacement materials,
service time, and freight. Please consult your dealer for more
details.
If you think you have a defective product, follow these steps:
1. Collect all the information about the problem encountered. (For
example, CPU type and speed, AAEON products used, other
hardware and software used, etc.) Note anything abnormal and
list any on-screen messages you get when the problem occurs.
2. Call your dealer and describe the problem. Please have your
manual, product, and any helpful information readily available.
3. If your product is diagnosed as defective, obtain an RMA
(return material authorization) number from your dealer. This
allows us to process your return more quickly.
4. Carefully pack the defective product, a fully-completed Repair
and Replacement Order Card and a photocopy proof of pur-
chase date (such as your sales receipt) in a shippable container.
A product returned without proof of the purchase date is not
eligible for warranty service.
5. Write the RMA number visibly on the outside of the package
and ship it prepaid to your dealer.

Introduction
TheSBC-776 is an all-in-one Single BoardComputer(SBC) capable
of handling the Intel Celeron 300~766MHz (with system bus
frequenciesof 66MHz) and Pentium III500~850 MHz (with system
busfrequenciesof 100MHz). Reliability, performance,flexibilityare
essential qualities for SBC's and SBC-776 offers all of these.
Onboard is the versatile Intel 815E chipset, controlling LAN, LCD,
and AUDIO. The VGA has a display memory size of 4 MB, with
resolutions up to 1024 x 768 at 256K. Ethernet connections can be
easily carried out through two RJ-45 connectors.
Thisfull-sized SBC supports M-SystemsDiskOnChip 2000 family
of flash disk products that are small, plug and play, solid state disks
in a standard 32-pin DIP package with capabilities ranging from
8MB to 288MB. There are also three 168-pin DIMM sockets
providing a maximum of 512MB. A compact flash connector is
provided on the solder side of the board.
The additional Advansys ASC38C0800, Ultra II Wide SCSI coordi-
nates up to 15 devices that are simultaneously connected to your
mainboard. Connection with the onboard chipset is made through
a 68-pin SCSI connector.
SBC-776 supports two IDE devices, two floppy disks, four USB
ports, two serial ports that can be configured as COM1, COM2,
COM3 and COM4. The single bidirectional parallel port can
support SPP, ECP and EPP modes. The standard ATX power
connector enables this full-sized SBC to be operated without any
backplane if necessary.

Safetyprecautions
Warning! Alwayscompletely disconnectthepower cordfrom
yourchassis wheneveryouare workingon it.Do
notmake connectionswhile thepoweris on
becausesensitiveelectroniccomponentscanbe
damagedby thesuddenrush ofpower.Only
experiencedelectronicspersonnelshouldopenthe
PCchassis.
Caution! Always ground yourself to remove any static charge
before touching the CPU card. Modern electronic
devices are very sensitive to static electric charges.
Use a grounding wrist strap at all times. Place all
electronic components on a static-dissipative surface
or in a static-shielded bag when they are not in the
chassis.
RemovingtheCPU
TheSBC-776 all-in-one CPU modulesupports most Pentium III/
Celeron or 586 CPUs. The system's performance depends on the
CPU you choose. You can install or upgrade the CPU in the board's
PGA socket by following the procedures outlined below. If your
system has an existing CPU, you need to remove it before installing
thenew CPU.
Removing a CPU
1. Disconnect power from the chassis, and unplug all connections
to the CPU card. Then, remove the CPU card from the chassis
by following the instructions in the user's manual for your
chassis.
2. Lift the CPU out of the PGA socket. The old chip may be
difficult to remove. You may find spray chip lubricant, designed
for pin-grid-array (PGA) devices, and a chip puller helpful.
These are available at electronics hobbyists' supply stores.
