CHAPTER 1. INTRODUCTION
The new EM-551 Series embedded SBC is especially designed for embedded applications
and to meet the requirements of limited space, low-cost and high-performance to suit
commercial and industrial needs. The new EM-551 Series is equipped with NS CS5530A
chipset to support NS Geode GX-1300MHz CPU fanless function, ideal for the demanding
Internet Access Devices that require a low-power and low-heat dissipation Single Board
Computer.
Targeting on the rapid growing networking and embedded system markets, the EM-551
Series comes with highly integrated and cost-effective single-chip Fast Ethernet controller
Realtek RTL8139C to support three 10/100Mbps Base-T connector (its LED is as a LAN
indicator) gives it the ability to make it the perfect solution for popular networking devices
like Gateway, Router, Thin Server, Firewall and E-Box.
The EM-551series can be expanded with one FDD interface support up to two floppy
devices; two PCI/IDE ports that support up to four IDE devices and multi-word DMA and
Ultra DMA/33 interface helps designers and integrators improve system performance by
retrieving and sending data faster.
In addition, it is also equipped with one RS-232 serial ports; twoUSB ports; one multi-mode
parallel port which supports SPP, ECP and EPP modes. It provides more flexible functions
to satisfy all users' different application requirements.
Further more the EM-551also offers several industrial features such as I/O peripheral
devices that support power saving and doze/standby/suspend modes. And with its
industrial grade reliability, the EM-551 can operate continuously at temperatures up to 60°
C (140° F). All these numerous features provide an ideal solution for commercial and
industrial applications where stability and reliability are essential.

2.2 JUMPER SETTING OVERVIEW
In order to select the operation modes of your system, configure and set the jumpers on
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. Ajumper issaidto be “on” or “1-2 ” when the black
cap has been placed on two of its pins, as shown 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.
