Safety Instructions Integrated circuits on computer boards are sensitive to static electricity. To avoid damaging chips from electrostatic discharge, observe the following precautions: Do not remove boards or integrated circuits from their anti-static packaging until you are ready to install them. Before handling a board or integrated circuit, touch an unpainted portion of the system unit chassis for a few seconds.
Chapter 1 General Description The HS-1743 is an Intel® 945GME GMCH chipset-based board designed. The HS-1743 is an ideal all-in-one mini ITX board. Additional features include an enhanced I/O with CF, DVI-I/CRT/LVDS, dual GB LAN, audio, SATA, COM, and USB2.0 interfaces.
10/100/1000 Based Ethernet uses. To secure the reliability in the unmanned or standalone system, the function of WDT (Watchdog Timer) in HS-1743 can be combined with the software which does not need arithmetical functions of a real-time clock chip. The WDT function can automatically reboot the system once programs crash in the system.
