For the cables, please follow the pin assignment of the connector to make a cable, because every panel has its own pin assignment, so we do not provide a standard cable; please find a local cable manufacture to make cables.

LCD Installation Guide:

1.Preparing the LS-570, LCD panel and the backlight inverter.

2.Please check the datasheet of the panel to see the voltage of the panel, and set the jumper JVLCD to +5V or +3.3V.

3.You would need a LVDS type cable.

For sample illustrator only

4.To connect all of the devices well.

After setup the devices well, you need to select the LCD panel type in the BIOS.

Chapter 3 <System Configuration>

3.1 <SATA RAID Configuration>

The board supports two Serial ATA ports onboard, and supports RAID 0, 1 and JBOD disk array, the RAID 0, 1 and JBOD are specified below:

RAID 0 (Stripping): Two hard drives operating as one drive for optimized data R/W performance. It needs two unused drives to build this operation.

RAID 1 (Mirroring): Copies the data from first drive to second drive for data security, and if one drive fails, the system would access the applications to the workable drive. It needs two unused drives or one used and one unused drive to build this operation. The second drive must be the same or lager size than first one.

JBOD (Span): As different as RAID 0, the JBOD combines two disks as one without any fault tolerance and I/O performance enhancement.

To build Serial ATA disk array, please press <TAB> while booting up the system before entering OS, and follow the instructions to edit the RAID function.

Chapter 4 <BIOS Setup>

The motherboard uses the Award BIOS for the system configuration. The Award BIOS in the single board computer is a customized version of the industrial standard BIOS for IBM PC AT-compatible computers. It supports Intel x86 and compatible CPU architecture based processors and computers. The BIOS provides critical low-level support for the system central processing, memory and I/O sub-systems.

The BIOS setup program of the single board computer let the customers modify the basic configuration setting. The settings are stored in a dedicated battery-backed memory, NVRAM, retains the information when the power is turned off. If the battery runs out of the power, then the settings of BIOS will come back to the default setting.

The BIOS section of the manual is subject to change without notice and is provided here for reference purpose only. The settings and configurations of the BIOS are current at the time of print, and therefore they may not be exactly the same as that displayed on your screen.

To activate CMOS Setup program, press ???DEL??? key immediately after you turn on the system. The following message ???Press DEL to enter SETUP??? should appear in the lower left hand corner of your screen. When you enter the CMOS Setup Utility, the Main Menu will be displayed as Figure 4-1. You can use arrow keys to select your function, press ???Enter??? key to accept the selection and enter the sub-menu.
