1.1 Main Feature Network Security Board BNX-E38 is a Network Security Board, featuring on Intel® Atom Bay Trail E3815 Processor, 1.46GHz base frequency as it is, boasting the fan-less feature with only 5W TDP. 8GB Memory for 64bit OS The two Dual Channel DDR3 SO-DIMM slots are designed to carry up to 8GB DDR3 1066/1333/1600MHz SDRAM with Non-ECC support, ideally facilitating applications that demand total memory capacity for the use in 64bit OS, beyond the 4GB barrier inherent in the 32bit OS.
2.1 Before You Begin A stable and clean working environment are essential. Dust and dirt can get into components and cause a malfunction. Use containers to keep small components separated. Adequate lighting and proper tools can prevent you from accidentally damaging the internal components. Most of the procedures that follow require only a few simple tools, including the following: A Philips screwdriver ...
A jumper is the simplest kind of electric switch. It consists of two metal pins and a cap. When setting the jumpers, ensure that the jumper caps are placed on the correct pins. When the jumper cap is placed on both pins, the jumper is SHORT.

3.1 System Memory BNX-E38 has Intel® Bay Trail Single-Core Atom E3815 onboard processor that supports dual channel non- ECC, un-buffered DDR3-1066/1333/1600MHz memory modules. Two SO-DIMM slots support up to 8GB Memory Capacity. 3.2 Installing Memory To install Memory 1. Make sure the “Key” on Memory module and slot are perfectly matched, and add slowly the RAM module into the slot.
3.4 Add CompactFlash Card Close view of BNX-E38 (Bottom Side) Please turn the board to the bottom side to locate CF socket. Please do not add CFast card onto this socket. Make sure to shut down the system board before adding your CompactFlash card.
3.5 Install a PCI Express Mini Card in the Half-Mini Card Slot Please ensure the type of the Half-sized card before adding them onto Half-Mini Card Slot. PCI Express Half-Mini Card Installation: (A) If a screw is found in the stand-off, please remove the screw. (B) Align the notch in the card with the socket key and insert the card at a slightly upward angle as shown.

About the BIOS The BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) Setup program is a menu driven utility that enables you to make changes to the system configuration and tailor your system to suit your individual work needs. It is a ROM-based configuration utility that displays the system’s configuration status and provides you with a tool to set system parameters.
4.1 Entering Setup When the system is powered on, the BIOS will initiate the Power-On-Self-Test (POST) routines. These routines perform various diagnostic checks. If an error is encountered, the error will be reported in one of two different ways: If the error occurs before the display device is initialized, a series of beeps will be transmitted. ...
4.4 The Main Menu Figure 4-1: BIOS Setup Utility Main Menu The menu bar on the top of the first screen has the following submenus: Main: Basic system configuration. Advanced: Advanced system settings. Chipset: Other functions. Security: Configure Supervisor and User Password ...
4.5 The Advanced Menu In this section, you may configure the followings: CPU Configuration, IDE Configuration, USB Configuration, Hardware Monitor, Power Management, LAN Bypass Configuration, Serial Port Console Redirection, and SIO Configuration.

Power Management Power Mode Select AT/ATX Power Mode. Restore AC Power Loss This is to set the power state after an unexpected AC/power loss. If [Power Off] is selected, the AC/power remains off when the power recovers. If [Power On] is selected, the AC/power would come right on once power recovers. If [Last State] is selected, the AC/power would follow the system state prior to the power loss.

Serial Port Console Redirection Console Redirection Enable/Disable Console Redirection function. Console Redirection Settings Enter to configure or confirm the Terminal Type and Baud Rate for Console activity. Please be advised that Console Port is a function built over RS-232 COM Port. If users accidentally disable RS- 232 Port within SIO Configuration, Console Port will also be deactivated and hence no transmission will be available.
