ESD Precautions
Computer boards have integrated circuits sensitive to static electricity.
To prevent chipsets from electrostatic discharge damage, please take
care of the following jobs with precautions:
„
Do not remove boards or integrated circuits from their anti-static
packaging until you are ready to install them.
„
Before holding the board or integrated circuit, touch an unpainted
portion of the system unit chassis for a few seconds. It
discharges static electricity from your body.
„
Wear a wrist-grounding strap, available from most electronic
component stores, when handling boards and components.

Introduction
The ETM620 is a finest embedded ETX computer-on-module in the
market, which makes a generic interface to connect the module to
peripherals such as hard disk, mouse, and display. The innovative
TM
architecture and high level of integration of AMD Geode LX800/900
processors onboard can deliver low power and enable small formfactor designs for products. It makes the all-in-one single module
together with excellent Multiple I/O, one CRT for DAC output, one
LCD through ETX connector, Fast Ethernet and AC'97 Codec Audio
interface. It also provides one 200-pin DDR 333/400 SODIMM with
maximum up to 1GB system memory, one FDD/LPT port, PCI and
ISA Bus for expansion purpose, two PATA, two SATA and four USB
2.0 ports supported.
Therefore, the ETM620 module provides versatility to cater for various
clients’ applications; moreover, its flexible modularity goes with
appropriately designed baseboard to make the best solution for
customization, and last a durable lifetime to cope with fast evolving
technology.

which make your system operated under Windows XP and Linux
environments. The system performance depends on the onboard
microprocessor. Make sure all correct settings are arranged for your
installed microprocessor to prevent the CPU from damages.
3.2
BIOS
System BIOS used on the ETM620 Series is Phoenix-Award Plug
and Play BIOS. The ETM620 Series contains a single 4Mbit Flash.
3.3
System Memory
The ETM620 Series industrial CPU card supports one 200-pin DDR
333/400 SODIMM socket for a maximum memory of 1GB DDR
SDRAMs. The memory module can come in sizes of 64MB, 128MB,

Award BIOS Utility
The Phoenix-Award BIOS provides users with a built-in Setup
program to modify basic system configuration. All configured
parameters are stored in a battery-backed-up RAM (CMOS RAM) to
save the Setup information whenever the power is turned off.
4.1
Entering Setup
There are two ways to enter the Setup program. You may either turn
ON the computer and press <Del> immediately, or press the <Del>
and/or <Ctrl>, <Alt>, and <Esc> keys simultaneously when the
following message appears at the bottom of the screen during POST
(Power on Self Test).
TO ENTER SETUP PRESS DEL KEY
If the message disappears before you respond and you still want to
enter Setup, please restart the system to try it again. Turning the
system power OFF and ON, pressing the “RESET” button on the
system case or simultaneously pressing <Ctrl>, <Alt>, and <Del>
keys can restart the system. If you do not press keys at the right time
and the system doesn’t boot, an error message will pop out to prompt
you the following information:
PRESS <F1> TO CONTINUE, <CTRL-ALT-ESC> OR <DEL> TO ENTER SETUP

CPU Internal Cache
Cache memory is additional memory that is much faster than
conventional DRAM (system memory). CPUs, from 486-type and
up, contain internal cache memory, and most, but not all, modern
PCs have additional (external) cache memory. When the CPU
requests data, the system transfers the requested data from the
main DRAM into cache memory for even faster access by the
CPU. These items are used to enable (speed up memory access)
or disable the cache function. By default, these are “Enabled”.
Quick Power On Self Test
This option speeds up Power on Self Test (POST) after you turn
on the system power. If set as Enabled, BIOS will shorten or skip
some check items during POST. The default setting is “Enabled”.
