A phase-locked transmit clock is transmitted in parallel with the data streams over a fifth LVDS link. Every cycle of the transmit clock 28 bits of input data are sampled and transmitted.
2.2 Installation Procedure This chapter explains you the instructions of how to setup your system. 1. Turn off the power supply. 2. Insert the DIMM module (be careful with the orientation). 3. Insert all external cables for hard disk, floppy, keyboard, mouse, USB etc. except for flat panel.
ECM-5510 2.2.1 Main Memory ECM-5510 provides one 184-pin SODIMM sockets to support DDR SDRAM. The total maximum memory size is 512 MB. Make sure to unplug the power supply before adding or removing DIMMs or other system components. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to both the board and the components.

• Locate the DIMM slot on the board. • Hold two edges of the DIMM module carefully. Keep away of touching its connectors. • Align the notch key on the module with the rib on the slot. • Firmly press the modules into the slot automatically snaps into the mounting notch. Do not force the DIMM module in with extra force as the DIMM module only fit in one direction.
ECM-5510 2.3 Jumper and Connector List You can configure your board to match the needs of your application by setting jumpers. A jumper is the simplest kind of electric switch. It consists of two metal pins and a small metal clip (often protected by a plastic cover) that slides over the pins to connect them.
