Chapter 1 Product Introduction
1.1 Overview
SOM-6670 is a type of System On Module that conforms to Qseven specifications.This
system-on-module is specially designed for portable or mobile applications. Based on Intel
Atom E6XX processor series with the main frequency of 0.6G/1.0G/1.3G/1.6GHz and L2 cache
up to 512KB. Onboard 512MB DDRII 800MHz RAM and CPU maximum power consumption of
only 3.9W. SOM-6670 supports dual display of SDVO +LVDS. The system also support rich I/O
including max. 6xUSB,2xSATA,one standard SDIO(compatible with MMC), 1xgigabit Ethernet
ports and HD audio output. Besides, 3 PCIE slots could provide the system more flexible
peripheral expansion. By virtue of the above features, SOM-6670 is suitable for portable
handhold terminals and is a perfect solution for applications in Mobile Measurement, Logistic
POS and Reinforced Mobile Devices, etc.

Chapter 2 BIOS Setup
AMI BIOS Upgrading
BIOS functions as a bridge connecting hardware and operating system. Hardware and
software are upgrading all the time, so when your system encounters problems, for example,
your system can not support the newest CPU, you need to upgrade BIOS to keep up with the
latest technology.
Specific operational order : FTP/f 6670T101.bin
Remarks：
1. BIOS upgrading is only executed when your system goes wrong.
2. Please use the upgrading program in the CD-ROM provided by us or download the latest
version of the upgrading program on-line
3. Please do not power off or reboot the system when upgrading, otherwise, the BIOS maybe
be damaged or system may not be able to boot again.
4. After upgrading, users need to manually optimize the Load Default
5. Please backup your BIOS before upgrading
AMI BIOS Description
When the computer is power on, BIOS will conduct self-diagnosis to its hardware on
motherboard and configure hardware parameter, finally the operating system will take control.
BIOS is the communication bridge between hardware and O/S. Correct configuration of BIOS
is critical for maintaining system stability.
BIOS Parameter Configuration
1. Power on or reset the computer, then press <Del>, system will enter into BIOS
Configuration.
2. Use the “←↑→↓”to choose the option which your want to modify, press <Enter> and then
system will enter into the sub-menu under the chosen option.
3. Use the “←↑→↓”and <Enter> to modify the value of the chosen item and then
press<Enter> again to choose BIOS options to modify.
4. At any time, press<Esc> can go back to the father-menu.
