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.

Jumper Settings
Jumper is a small component consisting of jumper clip and jumper pins. Install jumper clip on 2
jumper pins to close. And remove jumper clip from 2 jumper pins to open. Below illustration
shows how to set up jumper.
Properly configure jumper settings on the CAPA840 to meet your application purpose. Below
you can find a summary table of all jumpers and onboard default settings.
Once the default jumper setting needs to be changed, please do it under power-off
condition.

lights up when the system is powered on.
External Speaker and Internal Buzzer
Pin 2, 4, 6 and 8 connect the case-mounted speaker unit or internal buzzer. While
connecting the CPU board to an internal buzzer, please set pin 2 and 4 closed; while
connecting to an external speaker, you need to set pins 2 and 4 opened and connect the
speaker cable to pin 8(+) and pin 2(-).
Power On/Off Button
Pin 9 and 10 connect the power button on front panel to the CPU board, which allows
users to turn on or off power supply.
System Reset Switch
Pin 11 and 12 connect the case-mounted reset switch that reboots your computer
without turning off the power switch. It is a better way to reboot your system for a longer
life of system power supply.
HDD Activity LED
This connection is linked to hard drive activity LED on the control panel. LED flashes
when HDD is being accessed. Pin 13 and 14 connect the hard disk drive to the front

3.1
Microprocessors
®
TM
The CAPA840 supports Intel Atom E3845/E3827 processors, which enable your system to
®
®
operate under Windows 7 and Windows 8 environments. The system performance depends
on the microprocessor. Make sure all correct settings are arranged for your installed
microprocessor to prevent CPU from damages.
3.2
BIOS
The CAPA840 uses AMI Plug and Play BIOS with a single 64Mbit SPI Flash.
3.3
System Memory
The CAPA840 supports two 204-pin DDR3L SO-DIMM sockets for maximum memory capacity
up to 8GB DDR3L SDRAMs. The memory module comes in sizes of 1GB, 2GB, 4GB and 8GB.

Note

3.4
®
TM
The Intel Atom E3845/E3827 processors support dual memory channel
configuration. You must install memory modules of the same size, chip width,
density and rank. Also it is a must to have SO-DIMM inserted in SCN3.
®
TM
The Intel Atom E3815 processor only supports single memory channel
configuration. For single memory channel configuration, you must insert
memory module in channel 0 DDR3L SO-DIMM socket (SCN3).

AMI BIOS Setup Utility
The AMI UEFI BIOS provides users with a built-in setup program to modify basic system
configuration. All configured parameters are stored in a flash chip to save the setup information
whenever the power is turned off. This chapter provides users with detailed description about
how to set up basic system configuration through the AMI BIOS setup utility.
4.1
Starting
To enter the setup screens, follow the steps below:
1.
2.
Turn on the computer and press the <Del> key immediately.
After you press the <Del> key, the main BIOS setup menu displays. You can access the
other setup screens from the main BIOS setup menu, such as the Advanced and Chipset
menus.
If your computer cannot boot after making and saving system changes with BIOS
setup, you can restore BIOS optimal defaults by setting JP4 (see section 2.3.3).
Note
It is strongly recommended that you should avoid changing the chipset’s defaults. Both AMI
and your system manufacturer have carefully set up these defaults that provide the best
performance and reliability.
4.2
Navigation Keys
The BIOS setup/utility uses a key-based navigation system called hot keys. Most of the BIOS
setup utility hot keys can be used at any time during the setup navigation process. These keys
include <F1>, <F2>, <Enter>, <ESC>, <Arrow> keys, and so on.
Some of the navigation keys differ from one screen to another.

Watchdog Timer
A.1
About Watchdog Timer
Software stability is major issue in most application. Some embedded systems are not
watched by operator for 24 hours. It is usually too slow to wait for someone to reboot when
computer hangs. The systems need to be able to reset automatically when things go wrong.
The watchdog timer gives us solution.
The watchdog timer is a counter that triggers a system reset when it counts down to zero from
a preset value. The software starts counter with an initial value and must reset it periodically. If
the counter ever reaches zero which means the software has crashed, the system will reboot.
A.2
How to Use Watchdog Timer
The I/O port base addresses of watchdog timer are 2E (hex) and 2F (hex). The 2E (hex) and
2F (hex) are address and data port respectively.
Assume that program A is put in a loop that must execute at least once every 10ms. Initialize
watchdog timer with a value bigger than 10ms. If the software has no problems; watchdog
timer will never expire because software will always restart the counter before it reaches zero.

About Digital I/O
The digital I/O on CPU board has 8 bits. Each bit can be set to function as input or output by
software programming. In default, all pins are pulled high with +5V level (according to main
power). The BIOS default settings are 3 inputs and 5 outputs where all of these pins are set to
1.

Register 0: Input port register.
This register is a read-only port. It reflects the incoming logic levels of the pins, regardless of
whether the pin is defined as an input or an output by Register 3. Writes to this register have
no effect.
The default “X” is determined by the externally applied logic level, normally “1” when no
external signal externally applied because of the internal pull-up resistors.

Register 1: Output port register.
This register reflects the outgoing logic levels of the pins defined as outputs by Register 3. Bit
values in this register have no effect on pins defined as inputs. Reads from this register return
the value that is in the flip-flop controlling the output selection, not the actual pin value.

Register 2: Polarity Inversion register.
This register allows the user to invert the polarity of the Input port register data. If a bit in this
register is set (written with “1”), the corresponding Input port data is inverted. If a bit in this
register is cleared (written with “0”), the Input port data polarity is retained.

Register 3: Configuration register.
This register configures the directions of the I/O pins. If a bit in this register is set, the
corresponding port pin is enabled as an input with high-impedance output driver. If a bit in this
register is cleared, the corresponding port pin is enabled as an output. At reset, the I/Os are
configured as inputs with a weak pull-up to VDD.
