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 modules or integrated circuits from their anti-static packaging until you are
ready to install them.
Before holding the module 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 modules and components.

Installing Heatsink
For thermal dissipation, a thermal solution enables the CEM841’s components to dissipate
heat efficiently. All heat generating components are thermally conducted to the heatsink in
order to avoid hot spots. Figure below illustrates how to install the thermal solution on
CEM841.
1.
There is a protective plastic covering on the thermal pads. This must be removed before
the heatspreader can be mounted.
2.
Each thermal solution is designed for a specific CEM module. The thermal pads on the
heatspreader are designed to make contact with the necessary components on the CEM
module. When mounting the heatspreader you must make sure that the thermal pads on
the heatspreader 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 1.46GHz or more) to
ensure that the heatspreader acts as a proper thermal interface for cooling solutions.
3.
Before installing the heatspreader to the CPU module, please apply thermal grease on
the CPU die. This CPU module has four assembly holes for installing heatspreader plate.
Use the four screws to secure the heatspreader plate to the CEM841. Be careful not to
over-tighten the screws. Then, apply thermal grease at the bottom of heatsink and secure
the heatsink on the heatspreader by another four screws.

Auto Power On and Restore BIOS Optimal Defaults (SW1)
If dip1 of SW1 (SW1-1) is set to ON position, the system will be automatically power on
without pressing soft power button. If this jumper is set to OFF position, it is necessary to
manually press soft power button to power on the system.
The dip2 of SW1 (SW1-2) is for restoring BIOS default status. Flip SW1-2 to ON position
for a few seconds then flip it back to OFF position. Doing this procedure can restore
BIOS optimal defaults.

3.1
Microprocessor
®
®
The CEM841 supports Intel Celeron J1900/N2807 processors which enable your system to
®
®
operate under Windows 7, Windows 8 and Linux environments. The system performance
depends on the microprocessor. You must install the heatsink or cooler carefully and properly
to prevent damage.
3.2
BIOS
The CEM841 uses AMI Plug and Play BIOS with a single 64Mbit SPI Flash.
3.3
System Memory
The CEM841 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 or 8GB.

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 SW1-2 (see section 2.4.1).
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
B.1
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.
B.2
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.
