CHAPTER
1.1 Introduction
The POS-760F utilizes an LPX form factor (Socket 370) design that
supports Celeron™ processors up to 500 MHz as well as provides 100
®
MHz FSB bus support for Pentium III processors. This effective LPX
Socket 370 solution gives end users the choice of good, economical
performance with the Celeron™ series processors, or the impressive
performance of the Pentium III series. Also, compared to Slot 1
solutions, the Socket 370's lower profile allows for a lower board
height, critical to embedded systems applications. This processor
flexibility combined with all the other on-board features, explains
why the POS-760F is the new top-of-the-line POS solution at Advan-
tech.
The POS-760F is loaded with special on-board features that rival
full-size systems. It has standard 10/100Base-T PCI Ethernet, 36-bit
®
XGA TFT LCD panel support as well as SSD support for DOC 2000
and CompactFlash™. There is a Mini PCI socket for optional interna-
tional version modem, plus optional support for AC97 3D stereo
surround sound with speaker-out, CD-input, line-in, line-out and
microphone. The POS-760F also includes two 168-pin DIMM sockets
for up to 512 MB total on-board memory.
The POS-760F was designed using feedback and knowledge gained
from our customers. It has more of the features our customers have
requested. It is 100% PC compatible and is ready to handle the most
challenging POS environments. Besides the great onboard memory
flexibility and capacity, the POS-760F has four on-board serial ports,
each with +5/+12 V power, two USB connectors, watchdog timer and
tough industrial grade construction. The Award 256 KB Flash BIOS
supports Plug & Play, Boot from Ethernet, Boot from CD-ROM, Boot
from Zip drive, Wake-on-Lan, Modem and LCD backlight turnoff.
All these features make the POS-760F a very "system integrator
friendly" solution, perfect for handling POS applications in the
harshest unmanned environments.

2.4 Setting jumpers
You 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. In this case you would connect either pins 1 and 2 or 2 and
3.

Open Closed Closed 2-3
The jumper settings are schematically depicted in this manual as
follows:

Open Closed Closed 2-3
A pair of needle-nose pliers may be helpful when working with
jumpers.
If you have any doubts about the best hardware configuration for
your application, contact your local distributor or sales representative
before you make any changes.
Generally, you simply need a standard cable to make most connec-
tions.
Chapter 2 Installation 15
2.5 CPU installation and upgrading
®
You can upgrade to a higher power Pentium processor at any time.
Simply remove the old CPU, install the new one, and the BIOS will
auto detect the new CPU type and speed.
Warning! Always disconnect the power cord from your chassis
before you begin working on it. Do not make connec-
tions while the power is on because sensitive
electronic components can be damaged by the
sudden rush of power. Only experienced electronics
personnel should open the PC chassis.
Caution! Always ground yourself to remove any static charge
before touching the CPU board. Modern electronic
devices are very sensitive to static electric charges.
Use a grounding wrist strap at all times. Place all
electronic components on a static-dissipative surface
or in a static-shielded bag when they are not in the
chassis.
2.5.1 Installing a CPU in the ZIF socket
POS-760F provides a Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) socket for easy CPU
installation.
1. Make sure the ZIF socket lever is in the upright position. To raise
the lever, pull it out to the side a little and raise it as far as it will
go.
2. Place the CPU in the empty socket. Follow the instructions that
came with the CPU. If you have no instructions, do the following:
Carefully align the CPU so it is parallel to the socket and the notch
on the corner of the CPU corresponds with the notch on the inside
of the socket. Gently slide the CPU in. It should insert easily. If it
does not, pull the lever up a little more.
3. Press the lever down. The plate will slide forward. You will feel
some resistance as the pressure starts to secure the CPU in the
socket. This is normal and will not damage the CPU.
16 POS-760F User's Manual
When the CPU is installed, the lever should snap into place at the side
of the socket.
NOTE: To remove a CPU, pull the lever out to the side a little
and raise it as far as it will go. Lift out the CPU chip.
2.5.2 CMOS clear (J17)
Warning: To avoid damaging the computer, always turn off the
power supply before setting "Clear CMOS." Set the jumper back
to "Battery On" before turning on the power supply.

2.6 DRAM installation
There are two on-board 168-pin DIMM sockets.
2.6.1 DIMM DRAM (DIMM 1 and DIMM 2)
You can install one DiMM (up to 256 MB) or two 168-pin DIMM (up
to 512 MB DRAM) in the DIMM sockets.
Caution: When installing DIMM, make sure the module is
oriented properly. Do not use excess force during
installation.
Chapter 2 Installation 17
2.7 Primary (3.5") IDE connector (CN14)
The 40-pin IDE connector supports up to two 40-pin IDE interface
devices, including CD-ROM drives, tape-backup drives, HDDs, etc.
When connecting, make sure pin 1 of the connector is matched with
pin of the device's connector.
The built-in Enhanced IDE (Integrated Device Electronics) controller
supports up to two IDE devices, including CD-ROM drives, tape
backup drives, a large hard disk drive and other IDE devices. It also
supports faster data transfer rates and allows IDE hard disk drives
with capacities in excess of 528 MB.
2.7.1 Connecting the hard drive
Connecting drives is done in a daisy-chain fashion. Wire number 1 on
the cable is red or blue, while the other wires are gray.
Unlike floppy drives, IDE hard drives can connect to either end of the
cable. If you install two drives, you will need to set one as the master
and one as the slave by using jumpers on the drives. If you install just
one drive, set it as the master.
2.8 Secondary (2.5") IDE connector (CN12)
The on-board 44-pin mini-pitched IDE interface is used to let user
support either a 2.5" HDD.
Follow the same connection arrangement as the 3.5" HDD if you
want to connect to a 2.5" IDE device. Read the BIOS setup section for
more information regarding system settings.
Note: You cannot use a DMA-66 HDD, due to the cable’s
limitation.
18 POS-760F User's Manual
2.9 FDD connector (CN16)
You can attach up to two floppy disks to the POS-760F's on-board
controller. You can use any combination of 5¼" (360 KB and 1.2 MB)
and/or 3½" (720 KB, 1.44 MB, and 2.88 MB) drives.
A 34-pin daisy-chain drive connector cable is required for a dual-drive
system. On one end of the cable is a 34-pin flat-cable connector. On
the other end are two sets of floppy disk drive connectors. Each set
consists of a 34-pin flat-cable connector (usually used for 3½" drives)
and a printed-circuit board connector (usually used for 5¼" drives).
2.9.1 Connecting the floppy drive
1. Plug the 34-pin flat-cable connector into CN16. Make sure that the
red wire corresponds to pin one on the connector.
2. Attach the appropriate connector on the other end of the cable to
the floppy drive(s). You can use only one connector in the set. The
set on the end (after the twist in the cable) connects to the A: drive.
The set in the middle connects to the B: drive.
3. If you are connecting a 5¼" floppy drive, line up the slot in the
printed circuit board with the blocked-off part of the cable connec-
tor.
If you are connecting a 3½" floppy drive, you may have trouble
determining which pin is pin number one. Look for a number
printed on the circuit board indicating pin number one. Also, the
connector on the floppy drive connector may have a slot. When the
slot is up, pin number one should be on the right. Check the
documentation that came with the drive for more information.
The B: drive can be attached to the connectors in the middle of the
cable as described above.

The POS-760F system BIOS and custom drivers are located in a
256 KB, 32-pin (JEDEC spec.) Flash ROM device, designated U10. A
single Flash chip holds the system BIOS, VGA BIOS, and network
Boot ROM image. The display can be configured via software. This
method minimizes the number of chips and eases configuration. You
can change the display BIOS simply by reprogramming the Flash
chip.
3.2 VGA display firmware configuration
The POS-760F’s on-board VGA interface supports a wide range of
popular LCD, EL, gas plasma flat panel displays and traditional
analog CRT monitors. With onboard 2 MB of display memory to
provide resolutions of 1024 x 768 @ 16 bpp, the interface can drive
CRT displays with resolutions up to 1024 x 768 @ 16 bpp and 800 x
600 @ 24 bpp.
The VGA interface is configured completely via the software utility,
so you do not have to set any jumpers. Configure the VGA display as
follows:
1. Apply power to the POS-760F with a color TFT display attached.
This is the default setting for the POS-760F. Ensure that the
AWDFLASH.EXE and *.BIN files are located in the working
drive.
NOTE: Ensure that you do not run AWDFLASH.EXE while
your system is operating in EMM386 mode.
2. At the prompt, type AWDFLASH.EXE and press immediately. This will allow
you to enter Setup.

What they say about us
FANTASTIC RESOURCE
One of our top priorities is maintaining our business with precision, and we are constantly looking for affiliates that can help us achieve our goal. With the aid of GID Industrial, our obsolete product management has never been more efficient. They have been a great resource to our company, and have quickly become a go-to supplier on our list!

When we approached them with our issue, they were incredibly confident in being able to provide us with a seamless solution at the best price for us.

HARD TO FIND A BETTER PROVIDER
Our company provides services to aid in the manufacture of technological products, such as semiconductors and flat panel displays, and often searching for distributors of obsolete product we require can waste time and money. Finding GID Industrial proved to be a great asset to our company, with cost effective solutions and superior knowledge on all of their materials, it’d be hard to find a better provider of obsolete or hard to find products.

CONSISTENTLY DELIVERS QUALITY SOLUTIONS
Over the years, the equipment used in our company becomes discontinued, but they’re still of great use to us and our customers. Once these products are no longer available through the manufacturer, finding a reliable, quick supplier is a necessity, and luckily for us, GID Industrial has provided the most trustworthy, quality solutions to our obsolete component needs.

TERRIFIC RESOURCE
This company has been a terrific help to us (I work for Trican Well Service) in sourcing the Micron Ram Memory we needed for our Siemens computers. Great service! And great pricing! I know when the product is shipping and when it will arrive, all the way through the ordering process.

GO TO SOURCE
When I can't find an obsolete part, I first call GID and they'll come up with my parts every time. Great customer service and follow up as well. Scott emails me from time to time to touch base and see if we're having trouble finding something.....which is often with our 25 yr old equipment.
