1 Product Overview

2

The VIA EITX-3001 is a high performance single board computer (SBC) with low power requirements based on the Embedded ITX (Em-ITX) form factor. Its low power requirements are made possible by its usage of energy efficient VIA Nano CPU.

The EITX-3001 is designed for ultra-thin embedded applications and can withstand temperatures ranging from -10°C to 60°C. The powerful VIA Nano processor and VIA VX855 media system processor are placed on the bottom side of the board, enabling an efficient space-saving design that easily accommodates quiet and passive cooling thermal solutions.

The EITX-3001 includes an onboard DC-to-DC converter that supports both AT and ATX power modes. The power converter can support a wide range of power input voltage from DC 7V to DC 36V and can be configured through an onboard switch.

With generous support for multiple display options, the EITX-3001 is ideally suited for high-end multimedia applications including POS, kiosks, ATM, HMI, factory automation, POI, and digital signage. The dual I/O coastline design of the EITX-3001 provides

ample space for multiple ports such as one HDMI® port, one VGA

port, one Gigabit Ethernet port, four USB 2.0 ports, two RS-232 COM ports, and two RS-232/422/485 configurable COM ports.

3 Onboard Jumpers

The EITX-3001 mainboard provides jumpers for setting some mainboard functions. This section will explain how to change the settings of the mainboard functions using the jumpers.

34

LCD POWER SELECT The EITX-3001 Em-ITX SBC provides an onboard jumper named “PVDD1_SEL” for setting the LCD signal power to either 5V or 3.3V for LVDS1 and PANEL interface connectors. When connecting the LVDS LCD Panel display to LVDS1 or PANEL, the setting of PVDD1_SEL must match the power requirements of the connected LVDS Panel display. The default setting of PVDD1_SEL is 3.3V

Setting 1 2 3 +3.3V (default) ON ON OFF +5V OFF ON ON

35

COM3 AND COM4 VOLTAGE SELECT The ETIX-3001 supports two voltages for both COM3 and COM4 ports.

Setting 1 2 3 +5V ON ON OFF +12V OFF ON ON

36

AT/ATX POWER MODE SELECT The EITX-3001 supports two kinds of power modes: ATX (default) and AT. The ATX mode requires a standby power connection and a power supply on signal to turn on the main power supply. The AT mode does not require a standby power connection but needs to be connected to ground to boot up properly. The power mode can be set by changing the jumper position on the 5-pin AT/ATX pin header. Default setup support ATX mode.

Setting 1 2 3 4 5 AT mode ON ON OFF OFF OFF ATX mode (default) OFF ON ON OFF OFF Reserved pin for external ATX power On/Off control

OFF OFF OFF - -

Note:

Pin 4 and pin 5 are reserved for External ATX Power On/Off control via

cable. The developers can connect the cable to the pin 4 and pin 5 of the

5-pin AT/ATX pin header to manipulate the Power On/Off control.

37

SYSTEM RESET JUMPER To restart the hardware, momentarily close the jumper of the 2-pin reset pin-header.

Setting 1 2 Open (default) OFF OFF Reset ON ON

38

CLEAR CMOS JUMPER The onboard CMOS RAM stores system configuration data and has an onboard battery power supply. To reset the CMOS settings, set the jumper on pin 2 and 3 while the system is off. Return the jumper to pin 1 and 2 afterwards. Setting the jumper while the system is on will damage the mainboard.

Setting 1 2 3 Normal Operation (default) ON ON OFF Clear CMOS setting OFF ON ON

Caution:

Except when clearing the RTC RAM, never remove the CLEAR_CMOS

jumper cap from the default position. Removing the cap will cause

system boot failure. Avoid clearing the CMOS while the system is on; it

will damage the mainboard.

71

SECURITY SETTINGS

Change Supervisor Password This option is for setting a password for accessing the BIOS setup utility. When a password has been set, a password prompt will be displayed whenever the BIOS setup utility is launched. This prevents an unauthorized person from changing any part of the system configuration.

When a supervisor password is set, the User Access Level and Password Check options will be unlocked.

User Access Level This feature controls the level of access a user (without the supervisor password) is granted to the BIOS setup utility.

Settings Description No Access Completely locks the BIOS setup utility. The supervisor

password is required to access and change the BIOS settings..

View Only Only allows access to view the BIOS settings. Limited Only allows non-critical BIOS settings to be changed.

Changes are allowed to the following options: � System Time � System Date � Quick Boot � Display Logo

Full Access Allows all BIOS settings to be changed except for the Change Supervisor Password and User Access Level options.

72

Change User Password This option is for setting a password for non-supervisors. When a user password is set, the Clear User Password and Password Check options will be unlocked.

Clear User Password This option is only available when the user accesses the BIOS Setup Utility when the user password has been specified.

Password Check This feature is compulsory when the Change Supervisor Password option is set. The user will have up to three chances to enter the correct password before the BIOS forces the system to stop booting. If the user does not enter the correct password, the keyboard will also lock up. The only way to get past this is to do a hard reboot (i.e., use the system reset button or cut off the power to the system). A soft reboot (i.e., Ctrl+Alt+Del) will not work because the keyboard will be locked.

Settings Description Setup Force users to enter a password in order to access the

BIOS setup utility. Always Force users to enter a password in order to boot up the

system.

Boot Sector Virus Protection Settings Description Enabled Prevents write access to the hard drive boot sector and

partition tables. When access is attempted, the BIOS will freeze the system and display a warning message.
