INSTALLATIONS
2.1 System Installation
2.1.1 CPU Installation
Carefully follow the steps below in order to install the CPU:
1. Check and confirm that the jumpers are correctly set for the CPU you
are going to install (figure 3).
2. Lift the releasing lever of the Socket 370.
3. Align the pin of the CPU against the pinholes of the Socket 370. Be sure
to pay attention to the orientation of the CPU.
Figure 3: CPU Socket
4. Push down the CPU into the Socket 370.
5. Push down the release lever and lock it against the key hook.
6. Hook the hole in ZIF clip for the CPU cooling fan onto the notch on the
socket 370.
7. Place the CPU cooling fan atop the CPU surface.
8. Push down the opposite side of the ZIF clip and hook it.
9. Slide the head of the clip to left and lock it.
10. Connect the cooling fan cable to the socket as shown below. Be careful
not to place the cable on the CPU cooling fan.

Installations

Removing a CPU:
1. Before removing the CPU, turn off the F815C Series power; then wait for
about 20 minutes until the heat radiation plate of the cooling fan and the
CPU cool down.
2. To remove the CPU, lift the releasing lever of the Socket 370.
Note: The CPU and the heat radiation plate are hot. They may cause
burns.
To remove the CPU, reverse the installation steps.
2.1.2 Memory Module Installation
Figure 4 display the notch marks and what they should look like on your
DIMM memory module.
DIMMs have168-pins and two notches, that will match with the onboard
DIMM socket. DIMM modules are installed by placing the chip firmly into the
socket at a 90-degree angle and pressing straight down (figure 5) until it fits
tightly into the DIMM socket.
Figure 4: DIMM Memory and 168-pins Socket
Figure 5: Memory Installation

Installations
10
Carefully follow the steps below in order to install the DIMMs:
1. To avoid generating static electricity and damaging the DIMM, ground
yourself by touching a grounded metal surface or using a ground scrap
before you touch the DIMM.
2. Do not touch the connector of the DIMM. Dirt residue may cause a
malfunction.
3. Hold the DIMM with its notch to the front side of the F815C Series and
insert it completely into the socket. A DIMM should be inserted into the
inner socket first. Guiding the hole at each end of the DIMM over the
retaining post at each end of the DIMM socket.
4. If you install two DIMMs, install the second DIMM using the same
procedure as above.
5. If DIMM does not go in smoothly, do not force it. Pull it all the way out
and try again.
6. Make sure the DIMM is properly installed and locked by the tabs on both
sides of the socket.
Removing a DIMM:
To remove the DIMM, use your fingers or a small screwdriver to carefully
push away the plastic tabs that secure the DIMM at each end. Lift it out of
the socket.
Make sure you store the DIMM in an anti-static bag and must be
populated the same size and manufactory of memory modules. .

2.1.3 Setting Jumpers and DIP Switches
There are jumpers and DIP-switches on the system board of the F815C
Series. You can set the jumpers to make the necessary operations.
Figure 6: Jumper Connector
For any three-pins jumpers (figure 6), the jumper setting is 1-2 when the
jumper connects pin 1 and 2. The setting is 2-3 when pin 2 and 3 are
connected and so on. You see a number “ 1 “ and a “ 3 “ printed on the
circuit board to identify these pins. And also, there is a second way of
indication – one of the lines surrounding jumpers is thick, which indicates pin
NO.1.
To move a jumper from one position to another, use needle-nose pliers or
tweezers to pull the pin cap off the pins and move it to the desired position.
