2.1 Introduction
The following sections show the internal jumper settings and the external connectors and pin assignments
for applications.
2.2 Jumpers and connectors
The ALAD-A1201T Embedded Panel Computer consists of an JHC SBC (Single Board Computer) board
EPI-I801that is housed in an aluminum plate chassis. Your HDD and SDRAM, are all readily accessible
by removing the aluminum cover. Any maintenance or hardware upgrades can be easily completed after
removing the cover.
Warning: Do not remove any mechanical parts until you have verified that no power is flowing within the
Embedded Panel Computer. Power must be switched off and the power cord must be unplugged.

2.2.1 Setting Jumpers
You can configure your ALAD-A1201T to match the needs of your application by setting the jumpers. A
jumper is the simplest kind of electrical switch. It consists of two metal pins and a small metal clip (often
protected by a plastic cover) that slides over the pins to connect them. To —close― a jumper, you connect
the pins with the clip. To —open― a jumper you remove the clip. Sometimes a jumper will have three pins,
labeled 1, 2, and 3. In this case, you would connect either pins 1 and 2 or pins 2 and 3.
Figure 2.3
The jumper settings are schematically depicted in this manual as follows:
Figure 2.4
A pair of needle-nose pliers may be helpful when working with jumpers. If you have any doubts about the
best hardware configuration for your application, contact your local distributor or sales representative
before you make any changes.
2.3 Jumper Location
The ALAD-A1201T Embedded Panel Computer has a number of jumpers inside the chassis that allows

you to configure your system to suit your application. The table below lists the functions of the various
jumpers. The table below shows the function of each of the board's jumpers:

2.3.1 JP6: Power-on Select
JP6 is used to select the method of powering on the system. If you want the system to power-on whenever
AC power comes in, connect pins 2 and 3 of JP6. If you want to use the power button, connect pins 1 and
2 of JP6.

When using JP6 ―Power On‖ feature to power the system back on after a power failure occurs, the system
may not power on if the power lost is resumed within 5 seconds (power flicker).
2.3.2 JP7: Clear COMS Data

If you encounter the followings,
a) CMOS data becomes corrupted.
b) You forgot the supervisor or user password.
you can reconfigure the system with the default values stored in the ROM BIOS.
To load the default values stored in the ROM BIOS, please follow the steps below.
1. Power-off the system and unplug the power cord.
2. Set JP7 pins 2 and 3 to On. Wait for a few seconds and set JP7 back to its default setting,
pins 1 and 2 On.

3. Now plug the power cord and power-on the system.
2.3.3 JP8:LCD Back light Power Select
Figure 2.8
JP8 is used to select the power supplied with the LCD panel.
Important : Before powering-on the system, make sure that the power settings
of JP8 match the LCD panel’s specification. Selecting the incorrect voltage
will seriously damage the LCD panel.

JP13 (for COM 3) and JP14 (for COM 4) are used to configure Serial COM ports to pure RS232
or RS232 with power. The pin functions of Com 3 and COM 4 will vary according to JP13’s and
JP14’s setting respectively.
2.3.5 JP16:Mini PCIe Signal Select

JP16 is used to select the Mini PCIe signal. Due to on board SATA and mSATA are alternative function.
Default is on board SATA function. There will be BOM option for mSATA function.

2.4.1 Ethernet Connector (LAN)
The ALAD-A1201T is equipped with two Intel I211AT chip for 10/100/1000Mbps Ethernet controllers.
The Ethernet port provides a standard RJ-45 connector with LED indicators on the front side to show its
Active/Link status (Green LED) and Speed status (white LED). Table 2.1 for pin assignments

This 3-pin 3.81mm connector provides maximum of 60W power and is considered a low power solution.
Connect a DC power cord to this connector. Use a power adapter within 12~24V DC output voltage.
Using a voltage out of the range 12~24V may fail to boot the system or cause damage to the system
board.
