User’s Manual 1. Getting Started 1.1 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 CPU card. Modern electronic devices are very sensitive to static electric charges.

ECM-3711 Series 1.6 Architecture Overview 1.6.1 Block Diagram The following block diagram shows the architecture and main components of ECM-3721 Series. The following sections provide detail information about the functions provided onboard.
User’s Manual 1.6.2 VIA CN700 & VT8251 The CN700 implements a deep In-Order Queue to improve system performance for multi-threaded software applications. DBI and V4 bus protocol are supported which effectively reduce overall system power consumption. The AGP controller is AGP v3.5 compliant with up to 2.1GB/second data transfer rate. It supports pseudo-synchronous AGP and CPU interface to maximize system performance.
ECM-3711 Series 2D Graphics Engine The CN700 North Bridge's advanced 128-bit 2D graphics engine delivers high-speed 2D acceleration for productivity applications. The enhanced 2D architecture with direct access frame buffer capability optimizes UMA performance and provides acceleration of all color depths. MPEG Video Playback The CN700 North Bridge provides the ideal architecture for high quality MPEG-2 based video applications.
User’s Manual The VT8251 interfaces to the companion North Bridge chip through the Ultra V-Link interface with up to 1 GB/sec data transferrate. Two 1-Lane PCI Express ports are provided for high-speed peripheral devices. The VT8251 allows combining the two 1-Lane PCI-E ports into a 2-Lane port for peripheral that requires extra bandwidth. For standard 33 MHz PCI devices, the VT8251 supports up to seven PCI master devices.
ECM-3711 Series Plug and Play functions with steerable PCI interrupts The PnP function allows complete steerability of PCI interrupts and integrated peripheral interrupts to system interrupt channel. One additional steerable interrupt channel is provided to allow plug and play and re-configurability of on-board peripherals for Windows family compliance. The VT8251 also enhances the functionality of standard integrated peripherals.
User’s Manual 1.6.
ECM-3711 Series A hardware monitor engine is built in to monitor system health. An enhanced 8 bit ADC is built inside. This is exploited to simultaneously monitor 8 analog voltages or thermal inputs. The thermal inputs can be defined independently as thermistor or PentiumTM II thermal diode. Besides the ADC, the Hardware Monitor subsystem is also equipped with one chassis-open detection and 5 VID inputs for PentiumTM II Vcore identification.
User’s Manual The device features next-generation PCI Express interconnect technology. PCI Express is a high-bandwidth, low pin count, serial, interconnect technology that offers significant improvements in performance over conventional PCI and also maintains software compatibility with existing PCI infrastructure. 1.6.7 Compact Flash Interface A Compact Flash type II connector is connected to the secondary IDE controller. The Compact Flash storage card is IDE compatible.

ECM-3711 Series 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. A CRT monitor must be connected in order to change CMOS settings to support flat panel. 4. Connect power supply to the board via the ATXPWR. 5. Turn on the power. 6.
User’s Manual 2.2.1 Main Memory ECM-3711 series provides one 200-pin DIMM sockets to support DDR2 SDRAM. The total maximum memory size is 1GB. JDIMM1 (Rear Side) 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.
ECM-3711 Series • • • • Locate the DIMM socket 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 socket 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.
User’s Manual 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. To “close” a jumper you connect the pins with the clip. To “open” a jumper you remove the clip. Sometimes a jumper will have three pins, labeled 1, 2, and 3.
