lation. Advantech assumes no liability under the terms of this warranty as a

consequence of such events.

If an Advantech product is defective, it will be repaired or replaced at no

charge during the warranty period. For out-of-warranty repairs, you will

be billed according to the cost of replacement materials, service time and

freight. Please consult your dealer for more details.

If you think you have a defective product, follow these steps:

Collect all the information about the problem encountered. (For

example, type of PC, CPU speed, Advantech products used, other

hardware and software used, etc.) Note anything abnormal and list

any on-screen messages you get when the problem occurs.

Call your dealer and describe the problem. Please have your man-

ual, product, and any helpful information readily available.

If your product is diagnosed as defective, obtain an RMA (return

material authorization) number from your dealer. This allows us to

process your return more quickly.

Carefully pack the defective product, a fully-completed Repair and

Replacement Order Card and a photocopy proof of purchase date

(such as your sales receipt) in a shippable container. A product

returned without proof of the purchase date is not eligible for war-

ranty service.

General Information

Chapter 1 Hardware Configuration

1.1 Introduction

The DVMB-554E is designed with the Intel® 945GM and the ICH7M-

DH for industrial applications that require both high-performance

computing and enhanced power management capabilities. The

motherboard supports Intel Core™ 2 Duo/Core™ Duo/Core™ Solo

Processor up to 2.16GHz with 533/667 MHz front side bus and Dual

Channel DDRII 533/667 MHz memory up to 4 GB.

The DVMB-554E offers high-performance cost-saving integrated graphics,

built on the Intel® 945GM chipset and features the unique Intel® Extreme

Graphics architecture that maximizes VGA performance and shares

system memory up to 224MB. Better still, the DVMB-554E also provides

incredible visual quality, versatile display options, 8-bit Dual Channel

LVDS and a TV-out(NTSC/PAL) interface.

In addition to powerful computing capabilities, the DVMB-554E comes

with advanced I/O enhancements. The DVMB-554E possess multiple

high performance onboard I/O capabilities which include one PCI-

Express x4 slot; one Mini-PCI socket; eight high-speed USB 2.0 ports;

two Serial ATA ports supporting up to two devices with software Serial

ATA RAID 0,1; AC-97 audio; two RS-232 ports; one parallel ATA port.

•

BIOS CMOS backup and restore: When BIOS CMOS setup has been

completed, data in the CMOS RAM is automatically backed up to the

Flash ROM. This is particularly useful in harsh environments which

may cause setup data loss such as battery failure. Upon such an error

occurring, BIOS will check the data, and automatically restore the

original data for booting.

Automatically power on after power failure: It is often required to

have an unattended system come back to operation when power

resumes after a power failure. Advantech's industrial motherboard

allows users to set the system to power on automatically without push-

ing the power on button.

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.

Caution! Always ground yourself to remove any static

charge before touching the motherboard. Mod-

ern electronic devices are very sensitive to

static electric charges. As a safety precaution,

use a grounding wrist strap at all times. Place

all electronic components on a static-dissipative

surface or in a static-shielded bag when they

are not in the chassis.

Caution! The computer is provided with a battery-pow-

ered Real-time Clock circuit. There is a danger

of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.

Replace only with same or equivalent type rec-

ommended by the manufacturer. Discard used

batteries according to manufacturer's instruc-

tions.

Caution! There is a danger of a new battery exploding if it

is incorrectly installed. Do not attempt to

recharge, force open, or heat the battery.

Replace the battery only with the same or

equivalent type recommended by the manufac-

turer. Discard used batteries according to the

manufacturer’s instructions.

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. A jumper is a metal bridge that closes an elec-

trical circuit. 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. To

“close” (or turn ON) a jumper, you connect the pins with the clip. To

“open” (or turn OFF) a jumper, you remove the clip. Sometimes a jumper

consists of a set of three pins, labeled 1, 2, and 3. In this case you connect

either pins 1 and 2, or 2 and 3. A pair of needle-nose pliers may be useful

when setting jumpers.

1.8.2 CMOS clear (J3)

The DVMB-554E motherboard contains a jumper that can erase CMOS

data and reset the system BIOS information. Normally this jumper should

be set with pins 1-2 closed. If you want to reset the CMOS data, set J1 to

2-3 closed for just a few seconds, and then move the jumper back to 1-2

closed. This procedure will reset the CMOS to its default setting.

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.

1.9.1 CPU FSB and memory speed

The DVMB-554E can accept DDR2 SDRAM memory chips without

parity. Also note: The DVMB-554E accepts DDR2 400/533/667MHz

SDRAM, and DDR2 SDRAM. The DVMB-554E does NOT support

ECC (error checking and correction).

1.10 Memory Installation Procedures

To install DIMMs, first make sure the two handles of the DIMM socket

are in the “open” position. i.e. The handles lean outward. Slowly slide the

DIMM module along the plastic guides on both ends of the socket. Then

press the DIMM module right down into the socket, until you hear a click.

This is when the two handles have automatically locked the mem- ory

module into the correct position of the DIMM socket. To remove the

memory module, just push both handles outward, and the memory mod-

ule will be ejected by the mechanism in the socket.

1.11 Cache Memory

The CPU that DVMB-554E supports built-in 2MB or 4MB cache memory.

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™ 2 Duo/Core™

Duo/Core™ Solo (socket 479) up to 2.16 GHz. Follow these steps to

install the pro- cessor:

Turn the screw to loosen the processor socket.

Align the triangular marking on the processor with the small arrow

on the corner of the socket.

Turn the screw to its original position.

Install the heat sink on the CPU. The concave of heat sink should

Connecting

Peripherals

Chapter 2 Connecting Peripherals

2.1 Introduction

You can access most of the connectors from the top of the board as it is

being installed in the chassis. If you have a number of cards installed or

have a packed chassis, you may need to partially remove the card to make

all the connections.

2.2 Primary IDE Connector (CN11)

You can attach up to two IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) drives to the

DVMB-554E’s built-in controller. The primary (CN11) connector can

each accommodate two drives.

Wire number 1 on the cable is red or blue and the other wires are gray.

Connect one end to connector CN11 on the motherboard. Make sure that

the red/blue wire corresponds to pin 1 on the connector (in the upper right

hand corner). See Chapter 1 for help finding the connector.

Unlike floppy drives, IDE hard drives can connect in either position on

the cable. If you install two drives to a single connector, you will need to

set one as the master and the other as the slave. You do this by setting the

jumpers on the drives. If you use just one drive on the connector, you

should set the drive as the master. See the documentation that came with

your drive for more information.

Connect the first hard drive to the other end of the cable. Wire 1 on the

cable should also connect to pin 1 on the hard drive connector, which is

labeled on the drive circuit board. Check the documentation that came

with the drive for more information.

2.3 USB Ports and LAN Ports (CN4, CN5, CN9, CN10)

The DVMB-554E provides up to eight ports of USB (Universal Serial Bus)

BIOS Setup

Chapter 3 Award BIOS Setup

3.1 Introduction

Award’s BIOS ROM has a built-in setup program that allows users to

modify the basic system configuration. This type of information is stored

in battery backed-up memory (CMOS RAM) so that it retains the setup

information when the power is turned off.

3.1.1 CMOS RAM Auto-backup and Restore

The CMOS RAM is powered by an onboard button cell battery. When

you finish BIOS setup, the data in CMOS RAM will be automatically

backed up to Flash ROM. If operation in harsh industrial environments

causes a soft error, BIOS will recheck the data in CMOS RAM and auto-

matically restore the original data in Flash ROM to CMOS RAM for

booting.

Note:

If you intend to change the CMOS setting with-

out restoring the previous backup, you have to

click on “DEL” within two seconds of the

“CMOS checksum error...” display screen mes-

sage appearing. Then enter the “Setup” screen

to modify the data. If the “CMOS checksum

error...” message appears again and again,

please check to see if you need to replace the

battery in your system.
