Note on the Warranty
Due to their limited service life, parts which by their nature are subject to a
particularly high degree of wear (wearing parts) are excluded from the warranty
beyond that provided by law. This applies to the batteries, for example.
Exclusion of Accident Liability Obligation
Kontron Embedded Computers shall be exempted from the statutory accident
liability obligation if the user fails to observe the safety instructions.
Liability Limitation / Exemption from the

obligation.

Safety Instructions
PCI-955 Board - User’s Manual 7
Safety Instructions
Please read this section carefully and observe the instructions for your own
safety and correct use of the board. Observe the warnings and instructions on the
board and in the manual.
The PCI-955 board has been built and tested by Kontron Embedded Computers
in accordance with IEC / EN 60950 and left the company in a perfectly safe
condition.
In order to maintain this condition and ensure safe operation, the user must
observe the instructions and warnings contained in this manual.
Kontron Embedded Computers can only guarantee the safety, reliability and
performance of the board if all of the following safety instructions are observed.
qThe PCI-955 board must be used in accordance with the instructions for use.
qThe PCI-955 board is designed to be built into a system. The integration into
the system has to be done such that the system complies with the
IEC / EN 60950 safety rules.
qWhen installing the board into a system, ensure that the system is switched
off and the systems power cord is disconnected from the power source.
Disconnect all cable connections of peripheral devices from the system.
qEnsure that the DC operating voltages adhere to the specificationsgiven in
the “Electrical Specifications” section.
qOnly devices and components which fulfill the requirements of a SELV circuit
(security extra low voltage) in accordance with IEC / EN 60950 may be
connected to the interfaces of the PCI-955 board.
qPlease observe that all cables attached to the PCI-955 board must be duly
connected and fixed.
qIf extensions are made to the PCI-955 board, the legal stipulations and the
board specifications must be observed.

Safety Instructions
8 PCI-955 Board - User’s Manual
qRepairs may only be carried out by a person authorized to do so by Kontron
Embedded Computers.
qIt must be assumed that safe operation is no longer possible,
·if the device has visible damage or
·if the device no longer functions.
In these cases the device must be shut down and secured against
unintentional operation.
Safety Instructionsfor the Lithium Battery
The PCI-955 board is equipped with a lithium battery. For the replacing of this
battery please observe the instructions described in the chapter “Replacing the
Lithium Battery”.
Warning
Danger of explosion if replaced with the wrong type of battery.
Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by
Kontron.
Do not dispose of lithium batteries in domestic waste. Dispose of
the battery according to the local regulations dealing with the
disposal of these special materials (e.g. to the collecting points
for the disposal of batteries).

Safety Instructions
PCI-955 Board - User’s Manual 9
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
The components on the board are sensitive to static electricity. Care must
therefore be exercised at all times during handling and inspection of the PCI-955
board, in order to ensure the product's integrity.
qDo not handle this product while it is outside its protective enclosure, while it
is not used for operational purposes, unless it is otherwise anti-static
protected.
qUnpack or install this product only at EOS/ESD safe work stations. When safe
work stationsare not guaranteed, it is important for the user to be electrically
discharged before touching the PCI-955 board with his/her hands or tools.
This is most easily done by touching a metal part of your system housing.
qOnly hold the assemblies at the edge.
qDo not touch any connection-pins or conductors on the assembly.
Electromagnetic Compatibility
This device was developed for use in industrial applications and for business and
commercial areas as well as small companies. The EMC guideline 89/336/EWG
in the most recent version or the German EMC law shall apply. Insofar as the
user makes alterations or extensions to the device (e.g. installation of extension
cards) the preconditions for the CE conformity declaration (protection
requirements) may no longer be fulfilled.
FCC Statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A
digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules (refer to the “Declaration of
Conformity”). These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference when the equipment is operated in commercial environment.
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if
not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a
residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will
be required to correct the interference at his own expense.

The PCI-955 is a multifunctional,full-size PICMG 1.0 Slot-CPU, designed for use
in highly integrated platforms for a wide range of applications.
The board supports an Intel® Pentium® M / Intel® Celeron M processor.
Adopting the Intel® 915GM in combination with Intel® ICH6 chipset, the board
provides a PSB (Processor Side Bus) of 400MHz or 533MHz by a bandwidth of
up to 4.3 Gbytes/s.
The implemented Intel® 915GM chipset allows up to 2x 1GB DDR2 SDRAM
(Double DATA Rate, second generation) memory.
The Intel® 915GM includes the “GMA 900” (Graphics Media Accelerator)
controller that offers 2D and 3D graphic acceleration and supports both analog
(VGA) and digital (DVI-D) displays. LVDS and TV-out are also supported by the
integrated graphics.
The Intel® ICH6 supports one onboard IDE channel (IDE 0) [up to two IDE-
devices (1x “Master”, 1x “Slave”)] and four SATA channels. The optional
CompactFlash sharesan IDE channel.
