2.4 Installation
This is a 3.5” SBC (5.8-in x 4.0-in) form factor (148 x 102 mm) motherboard. Before you
install the motherboard, study the configuration of your chassis to ensure that the
motherboard fits into it.
2.4.1 Screw Holes
Place screws into the holes to secure the motherboard to the chassis.
2.4.2 Pre-installation Precaution
Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard components or
change any motherboard settings.
1. Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any component.
2. To avoid damaging the motherboard components due to static electricity, NEVER
place your motherboard directly on the carpet or the like. Also remember to use a
grounded wrist strap or touch a safety grounded object before you handle
components.
3. Hold components by the edges and do not touch the ICs.
4. Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded antistatic pad or in
the bag that comes with the component.
2.4.3 Installation of Memory modules (SO-DIMM)
SBC-210 provides one 204-pin DDR3 (Double Data Rate 3) SO-DIMM slot, which
supports single channel DDR3L SDRAM only.
Step 1. Align a SO-DIMM on the slot such that the notch on the SO-DIMM matches the
break on the slot.

ACS-2310 User Manual 14
Step 2. Firmly insert the SO-DIMM into the slot until the retaining clips at both ends
fully snap back in place and the SO-DIMM is properly seated.
2.4.4 Expansion Slots (mini-PCIe and mini-PCIe/mini-SATA Slots)
There is 1 mini-PCIe slot and 1 mini-PCIe/mini-SATA slot on this motherboard.
mini-PCIe slot:
MINI_PCIE1 (mini-PCIe slot; half size) is used for PCI Express mini cards.
mini-PCIe/mini-SATA slot:
MINI_PCIE2 (mini-PCIe/mini-SATA slot; full size) is used for PCI Express mini
cards or mSATA cards.
Installing an expansion card
Step 1.
Before installing the expansion card, please make sure that the power
supply is switched off or the power cord is unplugged. Please read the
documentation of the expansion card and make necessary hardware
settings for the card before you start the installation.
Step 2.
Remove the system unit cover (if your motherboard is already installed
in a chassis).
Step 3.
Remove the bracket facing the slot that you intend to use. Keep the
screws for later use.
Step 4.
Align the card connector with the slot and press firmly until the card is
completely seated on the slot.
Step 5.
Fasten the card to the chassis with screws.
Step 6.
Replace the system cover.

2.5 Jumpers Setup
The illustration shows how jumpers are setup.
When the jumper cap is placed on pins, the
jumper is “Short”. If no jumper cap is placed on
pins, the jumper is “Open”. The illustration shows
a 3-pin jumper whose pin1 and pin2 are “Short”
when jumper cap is placed on these 2 pins.
Clear CMOS Jumper
(CLRCMOS1)
(see p.8, No. 14)
Note: CLRCMOS1 allows you to clear the data in CMOS. To clear and reset the system
parameters to default setup, please turn off the computer and unplug the power
cord from the power supply. After waiting for 15 seconds, use a jumper cap to
short pin2 and pin3 on CLRCMOS1 for 5 seconds. However, please do not clear
the CMOS right after you update the BIOS. If you need to clear the CMOS when
you just finish updating the BIOS, you must boot up the system first, and then
shut it down before you do the clear-CMOS action. Please be noted that the
password, date, time, user default profile and MAC address will be cleared only
if the CMOS battery is removed.
