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.

Installing Heatsink
For thermal dissipation, a heatsink enables the CEM880’s components to dissipate heat
efficiently. All heat generating components are thermally conducted to the heatsink in order to
avoid hot spots. Below images illustrate how to install the heat spreader.
1.
There is a protective plastic covering on the thermal pads. This must be removed before
the heatsinkr can be mounted.
2.
Each heatsink is designed for a specific CEM module. The thermal pads on the heatsink
are designed to make contact with the necessary components on the CEM module.
When mounting the heatsink you must make sure that the thermal pads on the heatsink
make complete contact (no space between thermal pad and component) with the
corresponding components on the CEM module. This is especially critical for CEM
modules that have higher CPU speeds (for example 1.0GHz or more) to ensure that the
heatsink acts as a proper thermal interface for cooling solutions.
3.
This CPU module has five assembly holes for installing heat spreader plate. Use the five
screws to secure the heat spreader plate to the CEM880. Be careful not to over-tighten
the screws.

Auto Power On and Restore BIOS Optimal Defaults (SW2)
If dip1 of SW2 (SW2-1) is enabled for power input, the system will be automatically
power on without pressing soft power button. If this jumper is disabled for power input, it
is necessary to manually press soft power button to power on the system.
The dip2 of SW2 (SW2-2) is for restoring BIOS default status. Flip SW2-2 to ON position
for a few seconds then flip it back to OFF position. Doing this procedure can restore
BIOS optimal defaults.

The CEM880 uses AMI Plug and Play BIOS with a single 64Mbit SPI Flash.
3.3
System Memory
The CEM880 supports DDR3L onboard memory which maximum capacity can be up to 4GB
(optional) and one 204-pin DDR3L 1333/1066MHz SO-DIMM socket for maximum memory
capacity up to 8GB DDR3L SDRAMs. The memory module can come in sizes of 1GB, 2GB,

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 SW2-2 (see section 2.4.2).
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 and GPIO
About Watchdog Timer
Software stability is major issue in most application. Some embedded systems are not
watched by human 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.
About GPIO
The onboard GPIO (general input and output) has 8 bits (GPI0~3 and GPO0~3). In default, all
pins are pulled high with +3.3V level (according to main power). The BIOS default settings are
4 inputs and 4 outputs where all of these pins are set to 1. Use these GPIO signals to control
cash drawers and sense warning signals from an Uninterrupted Power System (UPS), or
perform store security control.
