INTRODUCTION
MANUAL OBJECTIVES
This manual describes in detail the Blue Chip Technology SOLO Single
Board processor card.
We have tried to include as much information as possible but we have not
duplicated information that is provided in the standard IBM Technical
References, unless it proved to be necessary to aid in the understanding of the
SOLO.
The manual is sectioned and includes a User Guide which will help the non
technical user to get the unit up and running. A Troubleshooting Guide is
also included to help when things go wrong.
We strongly recommend that you study this manual carefully before
attempting to interface with SOLO or change the standard configurations.
Whilst all the necessary information is available in this manual we would
recommend that unless you are confident, you contact your supplier for
guidance.
Please be aware that it is possible to create configurations within the CMOS
RAM that make booting impossible. If this should happen, clear the CMOS
settings, (see the description of the Jumper Settings for details).
If you have any suggestions or find any errors concerning this manual and
want to inform us of these, please contact our Customer Support department
with the relevant details.
LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY

or damages of any kind whatsoever, whether direct, indirect, incidental or
consequential, arising from the design or use of this product or the support
materials supplied with this product. If this product proves to be defective,
Blue Chip Technology is only obliged to replace or refund the purchase price

PRECAUTIONS
It is imperative that precautions are taken to avoid electro-static discharges,
or any maltreatment of the on-board battery.
ELECTRO-STATIC DISCHARGES
The devices on this card can be totally destroyed by static electricity.
Ensure that you take necessary static precautions, ideally wear an approved
wrist strap or touch a suitable ground to discharge any static build up. This
should be repeated if the handling is for any length of time.
When carrying the board around, please place it into the non-conductive
bag in which it came. This will prevent any static electricity build up.
ON-BOARD BATTERY
This board is fitted with a Lithium battery. Great care should be taken with
this type of battery. Under NO circumstances should :
• the outputs be shorted
• be exposed to temperatures in excess of 100°C
• be burnt
• be immersed in water
• be unsoldered
• be recharged
• be disassembled
If the battery is mistreated in any way there is a very real possibility of fire,
explosion, and harm.
