3. Hardware Installation This chapter provides you with information about hardware installation

procedures. It is recommended to use a grounded wrist strap before handling

computer components. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage some

components.

3.1. Installing the Memory Step 1

Remove the top cover from the chassis by unscrewing the ten screws to locate

the DDR3 SODIMM memory socket.


20

Step 2

Locate the DDR3 SODIMM memory socket. Gently insert the DDR3 memory

module into the SODIMM socket at a 30 degrees angle. Push down the

memory module until it snaps into place.

Step 3

Flip over the top cover. Then remove the memory thermal pad protective

cover (plastic) on the memory heatsink.


21

3.2. Installing CFast Card Step 1

Remove the CFast socket cover by unscrewing the two screws.

Step 2

Insert the CFast card into the CFast socket. Ensure the proper orientation

before inserting the card. Then reinstall the CFast socket cover.


22

3.3. Installing 2.5-inch SATA Hard Disk

Step 1

On the bottom side of the top cover, remove the SATA 2.5” hard disk drive

brackets.

Step 2

Attach the brackets to the 2.5-inch SATA hard disk then secure it with four

screws.


23

Step 3

Reinstall the brackets with 2.5” SATA hard disk by aligning the brackets on the

standoff mounting holes. Then secure the brackets with four screws.

Step 4

Connect the SATA data and power cables into the system board and connect

the other end of the cables into the 2.5” SATA hard disk.


24

3.4. Inserting 3G SIM Card

Step 1

Push back firmly the SIM card socket to unlock and open. Pull up the socket

and place the SIM card in the socket.

Note:

Ensure the angled corner of the SIM card is placed in the correct way before closing the socket.

Step 2

Gently close the socket by pulling down the SIM socket containing with SIM

card then carefully lock the SIM slot as indicated in the figures.


25

3.5. Installing 3G and WLAN kit

Step 1

Align the notch on the miniPCIe (3G/WLAN) module with the notch on the

miniPCIe slot then insert the module at a 30° angle.

Step 2

Once the module has been fully inserted, push down the module until the

screw hole align with the standoff hole then secure the module with screw.


26

Step 3

Locate the 3G/WLAN antenna holes at the rear side of the chassis. Insert the

3G/WLAN port connectors into the antenna holes from the inside of the

chassis. Insert the washer and fasten it with the nut then install the external

antenna.

Step 4

Gently connect the mini coaxial cables of the 3G/WLAN port connectors to

the mini RF connectors on the 3G/WLAN miniPCIe module.


27

3.6. Installing the Chassis Top Cover Align and install the top cover with the chassis and secure it with ten screws.


29

4. Jumpers

4.1. 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 pins 2

and 3 while the system is off. Return the jumper to pins 1 and 2 afterwards.

Setting the jumper while the system is on will damage the mainboard. The

default setting is on pins 1 and 2.

Figure 17: CLEAR CMOS jumper

Setting Pin 1 Pin 2 Pin 3

Regular (default) On On Off

Clear CMOS Off On On

Table 10: CLEAR CMOS jumper settings

Note:

Except when clearing the RTC RAM, never remove the cap from the CLEAR_CMOS jumper default

position. Removing the cap will cause system boot failure. Avoid clearing the CMOS while the system

is on; it will damage the mainboard.

58

5.19. Load Optimized Defaults

This option is for restoring all the default optimized BIOS settings. The default

optimized values are set by the mainboard manufacturer to provide a stable

system with optimized performance.

Entering “Y” and press <Enter> to load the default optimized BIOS values.

Entering ”N” will cancel the load optimized defaults request.


59

5.20. Set Supervisor/User Password

This option is for setting a password for entering BIOS Setup. When a

password has been set, a password prompt will be displayed whenever BIOS

Setup is run. This prevents an unauthorized person from changing any part of

your system configuration.

There are two types of passwords you can set. A supervisor password and a

user password. When a supervisor password is used, the BIOS Setup program

can be accessed and the BIOS settings can be changed. When a user

password is used, the BIOS Setup program can be accessed but the BIOS

settings cannot be changed.

To set the password, type the password (up to eight characters in length) and

press <Enter>. The password typed now will clear any previously set

password from CMOS memory. The new password will need to be reentered

to be confirmed. To cancel the process press <Esc>.

To disable the password, press <Enter> when prompted to enter a new

password. A message will show up to confirm disabling the password. To

cancel the process press <Esc>.+


60

Additionally, when a password is enabled, the BIOS can be set to request the

password each time the system is booted. This would prevent unauthorized

use of the system. See “Security Option” in the “Advanced BIOS Features”

section for more details.


61

5.21. Save & Exit Setup

Entering “Y” saves any changes made, and exits the program.

Entering “N” will cancel the exit request.


62

5.22. Exit Without Saving

Entering “Y’ discards any changes made and exits the program.

Entering “N” will cancel the exit request
