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.

User’s Manual 1.6 Architecture Overview 1.6.1 Block Diagram The following block diagram shows the architecture and main components of ESM-2850 series. The following sections provide detail information about the functions provided onboard.
ESM-2850 1.6.2 Intel NQ82915GM and FW82801FMB ICH6-M The Mobile Intel® 915GM Express Chipset for Embedded Computing, consisting of the Intel® 915GM Graphic Memory Controller Hub (GMCH) and Intel® I/O Controller Hub 6-M (ICH6-M), is an optimized integrated graphics solution with a 400 MHz and 533 MHz front-side bus. The integrated 32-bit 3D graphics engine, based on Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 900 (Intel® GMA 900) architecture, operates at core speeds of up to 320 MHz.
User’s Manual The GMCH contains one 16-lane (x16) PCI Express port intended for an external PCI Express Based graphics card. The PCI Express port is fully compliant to the PCI Express Base Specification revision 1.0a. The x16 port operates at a data rate of 2.5 GB/s while employing 8b/10b encoding. This allows a maximum theoretical bandwidth of 40 GB/s each direction. Intel 915GM/ PM may also be configured as PCI Express x1 port.
ESM-2850 1.6.3 Ethernet 1.6.3.1 Marvell 88EE8053 Gigabit Ethernet Controller The single-chip PCI Express based 88E8053 device is ideally suited for LAN on motherboard (LOM) and Network Interface Card (NIC) applications. The 88E8053 device is compliant with the PCI Express 1.0a specification. Offered in a 9 x 9 mm, 64-pin QFN package, the 88E8053 reduces board space required for Gigabit LOM implementation significantly. • PCI Express Features: PCI Express base specification 1.

User’s Manual 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.
ESM-2850 2.2.1.2 Removing CPU • Unlock the Pentium M processor. • Carefully lift up the existing CPU to remove it from the socket. • Follow the steps of installing a CPU to change to another one. 2.2.2 Main Memory ESM-2850 series provide two 200-pin SODIMM sockets to support DDR2 533 SDRAM. The total maximum memory size is 1 GB. DIMM1 Make sure to unplug the power supply before adding or removing DIMMs or other system components.
User’s Manual • • • • 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.
ESM-2850 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.

User’s Manual Overview During the Power On Self-Test (POST), if the BIOS detects an error requiring you to do something to fix, it will either sound a beep code or display a message. If a message is displayed, it will be accompanied by: PRESS F1 TO CONTINUE, CTRL-ALT-ESC OR DEL TO ENTER SETUP Post Beep Currently there are two kinds of beep codes in BIOS. This code indicates that a video error has occurred and the BIOS cannot initialize the video screen to display any additional information.
ESM-2850 5. DISPLAY SWITCH IS SET INCORRECTLY Display switch on the motherboard can be set to either monochrome or color. This indicates the switch is set to a different setting than indicated in Setup. Determine which setting is correct, and then either turn off the system and change the jumper, or enter Setup and change the VIDEO selection. 6. DISPLAY TYPE HAS CHANGED SINCE LAST BOOT Since last powering off the system, the display adapter has been changed.
User’s Manual 12. Invalid EISA Configuration PLEASE RUN EISA CONFIGURATION UTILITY The non-volatile memory containing EISA configuration information was programmed incorrectly or has become corrupt. Re-run EISA configuration utility to correctly program the memory. Note: When either of these errors appears, the system will boot in ISA mode, which allows you to run the EISA Configuration Utility. 13. KEYBOARD ERROR OR NO KEYBOARD PRESENT Cannot initialize the keyboard.
ESM-2850 20. PRESS A KEY TO REBOOT This will be displayed at the bottom screen when an error occurs that requires you to reboot. Press any key and the system will reboot. 21. PRESS F1 TO DISABLE NMI, F2 TO REBOOT When BIOS detects a Non-maskable Interrupt condition during boot, this will allow you to disable the NMI and continue to boot, or you can reboot the system with the NMI enabled. 22. RAM PARITY ERROR - CHECKING FOR SEGMENT ... Indicates a parity error in Random Access Memory. 23.
User’s Manual 27. Wrong Board In Slot PLEASE RUN EISA CONFIGURATION UTILITY The board ID does not match the ID stored in the EISA non-volatile memory. Note: When either of these errors appears, the system will boot in ISA mode, which allows you to run the EISA Configuration Utility. 28. FLOPPY DISK(S) fail (80) → Unable to reset floppy subsystem. 29. FLOPPY DISK(S) fail (40) → Floppy Type dismatch. 30. Hard Disk(s) fail (80) → HDD reset failed. 31.
