INTRODUCTION
The AP-545L is a half-size ISA single board computer for Socket 7 processor that is
using the SIS’s BGA chipset SiS5582 that support the Ultra DMA-33 for faster hard
drive, and USB function. For boosting operation, this motivated card also supports
sockets for a Flash Disk and one DIMM memory module. It offers the function of an
industrial computer on a single board with on-board 2nd level cache RAM of 512KB for
maximum performance.
Take note that the AP-545L is a high power & full engine SBC with on-board function in
the LCD/VGA display of resolution up to 1280 x 1024 at 256 colors. It provides the
primarily elements for building an IBM PC/AT compatible computer for a wide variety of
applications with system integration. The AP-545L is fully compatible with the IBM
PC/AT which means virtually all the software written for the IBM PC/AT will run on the
AP-545L SBC.
Other on-board features include two serial ports (one each of RS-232 and
RS-232/422/485), one multi-mode parallel (ECP/EPP/SPP) port, a floppy drive
controller and a keyboard interface and a PS/2 mouse interface. The built-in one high
speed PCI IDE controller supports both PIO and bus master modes. Up to two IDE
devices can be connected, including large hard disks, CD-ROM drives, tape backup
drives and other IDE devices. Its 6-layer printed circuit board combines with
noise-tolerant and low power consumption CMOS technology applied on the board
makes AP-545L able to withstand any harsh industrial environments very well.

2.2CPU INSTALLING AND UPGRADING
To upgrade to a higher power Pentium CPU, simply remove the old CPU and install to a
new one; be sure to set the jumpers for the new CPU type and speed.
WARNING!
Disconnect the power cord from your system when you intend to work on
it or you plan to open the chassis of your IPC. Do not make connections
when the power is turned on as sensitive electronic components can be
damaged by the sudden rush of power. Please only allow experienced
electronics technicians to do this job.
STATIC ELECTRICITY PRECAUTION!
Caution! Computer components are very sensitive to damage from static
electric discharge. Always ground yourself to remove static charge
build-up before touching the boards in the computer. Use a grounding
wrist strap at all time. Place all electronic components on the anti-static
pad for static-dissipation or in a static-shielded bag when they are not in
the chassis.
2.3JUMPER SETTING OVERVIEW
In order to select the operation modes of your system, configure and set the jumpers on
the your SBC to match the need of your application. To set a jumper, a black plastic
cap containing metal contacts is placed over the jumper pins as designated by the
required configuration as listed in this section. A jumper is said to be “ on ” or “ 1-2”
when the black cap has been placed on two of its pins, as show in the figure below:
A pair of needle-nose pliers is recommended when working with jumpers. If you have
any doubts about the best hardware configuration for your application, contact your
local sales representative before you make any changes. In general, you simply need
a standard cable to make most connections.
