MAGNUM ETX Product Summary

Page | 7

Introduction

The Blue Chip Technology Magnum ETX is the latest offering in the Biscuit format Single Board PC range,

integrating the latest advances in low power processor, memory, and I/O technologies to provide an ideal

platform for embedded applications. The Magnum ETX consists of a processor daughter card that complies with

the embedded ETX standard version 3.02, and a baseboard that contains the I/O interfaces. The concept of ETX

is to provide the user with a standard connector interface with fixed connector locations and predefined IO

functions. This modular approach provides a cost effective means of system upgrade and allows the user to

easily validate a number of CPU board price/power/performance options.

The product is available with CPU build options of Ultra Low Voltage VIA Eden 500Mhz, VIA C7 nanobga2

1GHz and the VIA C7 nanobga2 2GHz processors. On-board voltage regulator circuits provide the required

voltages for the processor from the incoming 5 volt power supply. The 500MHz version is targeted at lower

cost, power conscious, performance driven applications. Where reduced power is less of a requirement then the

1GHz and 2GHz versions offer a higher performance solution.

The processor maintains full backward compatibility with the 8086, 80286, i386 and Intel486 processors. It

supports both read and write burst mode bus cycles, and includes separate on-chip code and data caches which

employ a write-back policy. Cache is integrated within the CPU and operates at the full CPU frequency giving

excellent performance. Cache size is 128K L1 and 128K L2. Also integrated into the processor is an advanced

numeric co-processor which significantly increases the speed of floating point operations, whilst maintaining

backward compatibility with Intel486 math co-processor and complying with ANSI/IEEE standard 754-1985.

The memory interface supports up to 1GB of DDR2 SDRAM, in a standard 200 pin SODIMM socket.

The Magnum ETX utilises the VIA CN700 Northbridge and VT8237R Plus Southbridge to integrate many

peripherals. These include: VGA controller with CRT, LVDS and LCD interfaces, ATA-100 IDE interface,

10/100 Fast Ethernet controller, quad USB ports, dual serial ports, parallel port, real-time clock, keyboard and

mouse (PS/2) controller, AC’97 audio interface. The VT8237R also provides SATA interface which is accessed

via two SATA connectors positioned on the daughter board in accordance with the ETX V3.02 specification.

The MAGNUM ETX will drive a single PCI card, as well as mini-PCI and Compact Flash.

MAGNUM ETX Precautions

Page | 10

General Precautions

Your Single Board Computer is susceptible to damage by electrostatic discharges. In order to avoid damage,

you should work at an anti-static bench and observe normal anti-static precautions. Wear an anti-static wrist

strap connected to an earth point before opening any packaging.

Where a wrist strap is not available, discharge any static charge you may have built-up by touching an earth

point. Avoid any further movement that could build up another static charge. Touch an earth point from time to

time to avoid further build-up, and remove the items from their anti-static bags only when required

PS/2 Devices

It is important that PS/2 devices (mouse and keyboard) are not connected or disconnected with the unit powered

on. Damage or data corruption may occur if this precaution is not observed.

Electro-Static Discharges

If you are going to open up the unit, it is important to realise that the devices on the cards within this unit can be

damaged by static electricity. Bear in mind that the damage caused by static electricity may vary from total

destruction to partial damage, which may not be immediately obvious. This could have an effect on the

product's reliability and warranty. Before opening the chassis, ensure that you take necessary static precautions.

Ideally you should work at an anti-static bench and wear an approved wrist strap or if that is not possible, touch

a suitable ground to discharge any static build up before touching the electronics. This should be repeated if the

handling continues for any length of time.

If it is necessary to remove a board or electronic assembly, place it into an anti-static bag. This will prevent any

static electricity build up damaging the board. Metallised bags are preferred. Do not use black anti-static bags

for any item containing a battery because these tend to be conductive and will discharge the battery.

On-Board Battery

The MAGNUM ETX board has an on-board Lithium cell connected. Great care should be taken with this type

of battery. If the battery is mistreated in any way there is a very real possibility of fire, explosion, and personal

harm. Under NO circumstances should it be short-circuited, exposed to temperatures in excess of 100°C or

burnt, immersed in water, recharged or disassembled.

Expired batteries remain hazardous and must be disposed of in a safe manner, according to local regulations.

Le panneau de processeur est équipé d’une batterie de lithium. Le grand soin devrait être pris avec ce type de

batterie. Si la batterie est mistreated il y a de dans de toute façon un possibility très vrai du feu, d’expolosion et

de mal personnel. Dans au cunes circonstances il est sous peu circuité, exposé aux températures au dessus de

100 degrés de centrigrade ou brûlé, immergé dans l’eau, rechargée ou dissassambled.

Les batteries expirées restent dazaedous et doivent être reejetées d’une façon sûre, selon des règlements locaux.
