Introduction
VL-EPMs-21 Reference Manual 4
RoHS Compliance
The VL-EPMs-21 is RoHS-compliant.
ABOUT ROHS
In 2003, the European Union issued Directive 2002/95/EC regarding the Restriction of the use of
certain Hazardous Substances (RoHS) in electrical and electronic equipment.
The RoHS directive requires producers of electrical and electronic equipment to reduce to
acceptable levels the presence of six environmentally sensitive substances: lead, mercury,
cadmium, hexavalent chromium, and the presence of polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) and
polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE) flame retardants, in certain electrical and electronic
products sold in the European Union (EU) beginning July 1, 2006.
VersaLogic Corp. is committed to supporting customers with high-quality products and services
meeting the European Union’s RoHS directive.
Warnings
ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE
Warning! Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage circuit boards, disk drives, and other
components. The circuit board must only be handled at an ESD workstation. If an
approved station is not available, some measure of protection can be provided by
wearing a grounded antistatic wrist strap. Keep all plastic away from the board, and
do not slide the board over any surface.
After removing the board from its protective wrapper, place the board on a
grounded, static-free surface, component side up. Use an antistatic foam pad if
available.
The board should also be protected inside a closed metallic antistatic envelope
during shipment or storage.
Note: The exterior coating on some metallic antistatic bags is sufficiently conductive to
cause excessive battery drain if the bag comes in contact with the bottom side of
the VL-EPMs-21.
LITHIUM BATTERY
Warning! To prevent shorting, premature failure, or damage to the lithium battery, do not
place the board on a conductive surface such as metal, black conductive foam, or
the outside surface of a metalized ESD protective pouch. The lithium battery may
explode if mistreated. Do not recharge, disassemble, or dispose of in fire. Dispose
of used batteries promptly and in an environmentally suitable manner.

Introduction
VL-EPMs-21 Reference Manual 5
HANDLING CARE
Warning! Care must be taken when handling the board not to touch the exposed circuitry
with your fingers. Though it will not damage the circuitry, it is possible that small
amounts of oil or perspiration on the skin could have enough conductivity to cause
the contents of CMOS RAM to become corrupted through careless handling,
resulting in CMOS resetting to factory defaults.

VL-EPMs-21 Reference Manual 7
Configuration and Setup
Initial Configuration
The following components are recommended for a typical development system with the
VL-EPMs-21 computer:
ATX power supply
DDR2 memory module (see System RAM)
LVDS display (or analog display with VL-CBR-2014 adapter card)
Standard I/O breakout board (VL-CBR-5012)
USB keyboard and mouse
USB floppy disk drive (optional)
IDE hard drive (optional)
IDE CD-ROM drive (optional)
The following VersaLogic cables are recommended:
VL-CBR-2012 (or Hirose alternative VL-CBR-2010) or VL-CBR-2011 (JAE)
LVDS adapter cable
VL-CBR-4406 –IDE data cable
VL-CBR-4405 –IDE adapter board, if you are using drives with 40-pin
connectors
VL-CBR-1008 –Power adapter cable
You will also need an operating system (OS) installation CD-ROM.
Basic Setup
The following steps outline the procedure for setting up a typical development system.
The VL-EPMs-21 should be handled at an ESD workstation or while wearing a
grounded antistatic wrist strap.
Before you begin, unpack the VL-EPMs-21 and accessories. Verify that you received all
the items you ordered. Inspect the system visually for any damage that may have
occurred in shipping. Contact [e-mail] immediately if any items are
damaged or missing.
Gather all the peripheral devices you plan to attach to the VL-EPMs-21 and their
interface and power cables.
It is recommended that you attach standoffs to the board (see Hardware Assembly) to
stabilize the board and make it easier to work with.
Figure 2 shows a typical start-up configuration (using RoHS compatible cables).

Configuration and Setup
VL-EPMs-21 Reference Manual 8
Figure 2. Typical Start-up Configuration
1. Install Memory
Insert the DDR2 DRAM module into the SO-DIMM socket J14 and latch it into
place.
2. Attach Cables and Peripherals
Plug the LVDS cable VL-CBR-2012 (or Hirose alternative VL-CBR-2010) or
VL-CBR-2011 into socket J6. Attach the cable to the LVDS display. (Note: You
can attach an analog monitor to connector J6 using the VL-CBR-2014 adapter
card.)
Plug the breakout board VL-CBR-5012 into socket J7.
Plug a USB keyboard and USB mouse into socket J1 of the breakout board.
(Note: In DOS, input is through a keyboard only. Due to a limitation of the
BIOS, mouse function is not supported in DOS.)
Plug the hard drive data cable VL-CBR-4406 into socket J5. Attach a hard drive
and CD-ROM drive to the connectors on the cable. If the hard drive is 3.5”, use
the 2 mm to 0.1” adapter VL-CBR-4405 to attach the IDE cable.
Attach an ATX power cable to any 3.5” drive (hard drive or CD-ROM drive).
Set the hard drive jumper for master device operation and the CD-ROM drive
jumper for slave device operation.

all cables are oriented correctly and that adequate power will be supplied to the
VL-EPMs-21 and peripheral devices.
5. Power On
Turn on the ATX power supply and the video monitor. If the system is correctly
configured, a video signal should be present.
6. Select a Boot Drive
During startup, type CTRL-B to display the boot menu. Insert the OS
installation CD in the CD-ROM drive and select to boot from the CD-ROM
drive.
7. Install Operating System
Install the OS according to the instructions provided by the OS manufacturer.
(See Operating System Installation.)
Note:If you intend to operate the VL-EPMs-21 under Windows XP or

CMOS Setup
See KnowledgeBase article VT1628 - EPMs-21 CMOS Setup Reference for complete
information about CMOS Setup parameters.
Note: The minimum BIOS revision required to operate the VL-EPMs-U1 Serial
Communications board with the VL-EPMs-21 is 6.5.101. Be sure to
update the BIOS to the latest available revision from the VL-EPMs-21
support page before installing the VL-EPMs-U1.
Operating System Installation
The standard PC architecture used on the VL-EPMs-21 makes the installation and use of
most of the standard x86-based operating systems very simple. The operating systems
listed on the VersaLogic OS Compatibility Chart use the standard installation
procedures provided by the maker of the OS. Special optimized hardware drivers for a
particular OS, or a link to the drivers, are available at the VL-EPMs-21 Product Support

HARDWARE ASSEMBLY
The VL-EPMs-21 uses pass-through SUMIT (PCIe, USB, LPC, and SPI) and PC/104 (ISA)
connectors so that expansion modules can be added to the top of the stack. A SUMIT expansion
module with a PCIe x4 lane must be closest to the CPU board (for SUMIT CPU boards
supporting a PCIe x4 lane). Next on the stack would be an expansion module with a PCIe x1
lane. Above that, USB, SPI, SMBus, and/or LPC SUMIT modules can be stacked. PC/104-only
(ISA) modules must not be positioned between the VL-EPMs-21 and any SUMIT modules on the
stack.
The entire assembly can sit on a table top or be secured to a base plate. When bolting the unit
down, make sure to secure all four standoffs to the mounting surface to prevent circuit board
flexing. Standoffs are secured to the top circuit board using four pan head screws. See page 11 for
dimensional details. Standoffs and screws are available as part number VL-HDW-105. Note that
the standoffs in this kit are 15.25 mm (0.60"), and must not be mixed with the 15 mm standoffs
used for non-SUMIT boards.
An extractor tool is available (part number VL-HDW-201) to separate the PC/104 modules from
the stack. Use caution when using the extractor tool not to damage any board components.
