1. Manual 

Objectives 

 

This manual describes in detail the BCM EBC-3410 Single Board. 

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 help understanding of this board. 

We strongly recommend that you study this manual carefully before attempting to interface 
with EBC-3410 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 Service department with the relevant details.
