1.7 Safety Precautions Warning! Always completely disconnect the power cord from your chassis whenever you work with the hardware. Do not make connections while the power is on. Sensitive electronic components can be damaged by sudden power surges. Only experienced electronics personnel should open the PC chassis.
1.8 Jumper Settings This section provides instructions on how to configure your motherboard by setting the jumpers. It also includes the motherboards's default settings and your options for each jumper. 1.8.1 How to set jumpers You can configure your motherboard to match the needs of your applica- tion by setting the jumpers.
1.8.3 Watchdog timer output (J4) The DVMB-554E contains a watchdog timer that will reset the CPU or send a signal to PIRQE in the event the CPU stops processing. This feature means the DVMB-554E will recover from a software failure or an EMI problem.
1.9 System Memory The DVMB-554E has two sockets for 240-pin memory modules (SO- DIMMs). All these sockets use 1.8 V unbuffered double data rate synchronous DRAMs (DDR SDRAM). They are available in capacities of 256, 512 and 1024 MB. The sockets can be filled in any combination with DIMMs of any size, giving a total memory size between 256 MB and 2GB.
1.12 Processor Installation Warning: Without a fan or heat sink, the CPU will over- heat and cause damage to both the CPU and the single board computer. To install a CPU, first turn off your system. Locate the processor socket 479. The DVMB-554E is designed for Intel Core™...

The user can use J2 to select among RS 232/422/485 modes for COM2. The default setting is RS 232 for both COM1 and COM2.
such as a mouse or printer, or to a communications network. The IRQ and address ranges for both ports are fixed. However, if you want to disable the port or change these parameters later, you can do this in the system BIOS setup. Different devices implement the RS-232/422/485 standards in different ways.
If fan is used, this connector supports cooling fans of 500 mA (6W) or less. 2.8 Front Panel Connectors (CNX1/CN13) There are several external switches to monitor and control the DVMB- 554. 2.8.1 Power LED and Keyboard Lock (CN13) CN13 is a 5-pin connector for the power LED. Refer to Appendix B for detailed information on the pin assignments.
2.8.6 SM Bus Connector (CNX1-29) This connector is reserved for Advantech's SNMP-1000 HTTP/SNMP Remote System Manager. The SNMP-1000 allows users to monitor the internal voltages, temperature and fans from a remote computer through an Ethernet network.
2.9 H/W Monitor Alarm (CN12) Close: Enable OBS Alarm Open: Disable OBS Alarm 2.10 Line Out, Mic In Connector (CN3) The Line Out is to output the audio signal to external audio device, like speakers or headphones. The Mic In is for the audio signal input via microphones.
2.11 Aux Line-In Connector (CN7) The connector is for audio devices with a Line-in connector. 2.12 Serial ATA Interface (SA1, SA2) In addition to the EIDE interface (up to two devices), the DVMB-554E features a high performance serial ATA interface (up to 150 MB/s) which eases cabling to hard drives with thin and long cables.
2.13 DVA-210 Connector (VDO1) DVMB-554E has 4 video capture chips on board. So it can support up to 4 cameras. To be connecting with cameras, DVMB-554E needs to work with DVA-210 for video capture. DVA-210 is a 4 channel video module with BNC connectors and you can find it in DVMB-554E accessory box.
