1.1 Introduction
The NIS-886 fanless Embedded Box Computer is an ideal, application-ready system
platform solution. All electronics are protected in a compact, sealed, aluminum case for
easy embedding in the customer’s own housing, or as a stand-alone application where
space is limited and the environment harsh.
The solid, sealed aluminum case offers vibration and dust resistance while also providing a
passive cooling solution. The NIS-886 provides system integrators with a turn key solution
and versatile application development path without breaking the bank or missing
time-to-market deadlines.
NIS-886 is designed as a palm-size fanless embedded system and occupies only 146 x
136 x 32 mm . The rugged, cast aluminum case not only provides great protection from
EMI, shock/vibration, cold and heat, but also passive cooling for quiet, fanless operation.
NIS-886 meets demands by offering up to 1 x VGA, 1x HDMI,1 x Giga LAN, 6 x USB 2.0
ports, and 1 x COM ports all packed into a compact rugged unit and powered by an Intel®
Atom™ N2600/ N2800 processor. NIS-886 also supports both 2.5” SATA HDD and SATA
SSD for storage. Besides, NIS-886 is a low-power-consumption system and it is powered
by DC 12-24V input. The NIS-886 provides for diversified application fields.

H/W Installation
This chapter explains the setup
procedures of the NIS-886
hardware, including instructions
on setting jumpers and

switches and indicators. Be sure
to read all safety precautions
before you begin the installation
procedure.

2.1 Jumpers
2.1.1 Jumper Description
Cards can be configured by setting jumpers. A jumper is a metal bridge used to close an
electric circuit. 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 2 and
3.
The jumper settings are schematically depicted in this manual as follows.
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.
Generally, you simply need a standard cable to make most connections.
Warning! To avoid damaging the computer, always turn off the power supply before
setting jumpers.
How to verify Pin1 of the jumper?
1. Please check the M/B carefully, where there is a mark of “1” or white thick line, there is
Pin1.
2. Look into the pad on the back side of the M/B, generally the square side of the pad is
Pin1.

How to clear CMOS: (Must follow steps as below)
If any of these states happens: such as CMOS data corruption, administrator or
password of the BIOS forgotten, not able to boot-up due to wrong setting of the CPU
frequency in BIOS, or the CPU/Memory need to clear the CMOS setting, then you
can use this jumper to clear CMOS, and BIOS will reset to default settings.
• Pin1 and Pin2 short circuit (default): Normal Condition;
• Pin2 and Pin3 short circuit: Clear CMOS setting;
Clear CMOS setting and load default settings:
1. Turn-off the system power;
2. Use jumper to make Pin2 and Pin3 short circuit, waiting for 3-5sec., then reset the
jumper as Pin1 and Pin2 short circuit.
3. Turn-on the system power
4. If it is the wrong setting of CPU frequency in BIOS, then please press F2 to enter
BIOS setting menu once the system reboot.
5. Set the CPU operating speed to default value or a reasonable value;
6. Save & Exit the BIOS menu.
Power Mode Select:
AT power mode: Boot-up automatically when power-on.
