Introduction
1.3 About this User’s Manual
This User’s Manual is intended for experienced users and integrators with
hardware knowledge of personal computers. If you are not sure about any
description in this User’s Manual, please consult your vendor before further
handling.
1.4 Warning
Single Board Computers and their components contain very delicate
Integrated Circuits (IC). To protect the Single Board Computer and its
components against damage from static electricity, you should always follow
the following precautions when handling it :
Disconnect your Single Board Computer from the power source when you1.
want to work on the inside.
Hold the board by the edges and try not to touch the IC chips, leads or2.

Introduction
1.12 Installing the CPU
The processor socket comes with a screw to secure the CPU. As showing in
the picture as bellow, loose the screw rst before inserting the CPU.
Place the CPU into the socket by making sure the notch on the corner of the
CPU corresponding with the notch on the inside of the socket. Once the CPU
has slided into the socket, lock the screw.
Make sure that heat sink of the CPU top surface is in complete contact to
avoid the CPU overheating problem.
If not, it would cause your system or CPU to be hanged, unstable, or
damaged.

Introduction
1.13 Installing the Memory
To install the Memory module, locate the Memory SO-DIMM slot on the board
and perform as below:
Adjust the socket polarizing key and the board key to the same direction.1.
Insert the board obliquely. Moreover, lay the board in parallel to the opening2.
at angle of 20oto 30o, and softly insert the board so as to hit the socket
bottom. Stopping insertion halfway will result in improper insertion.
Applying the board side notch in parallel to the socket bottom so that the3.
board position cannot be displaced, press the board side notch up, and x
it to the latch portion at both socket edges. Press the board side notch, and
release the notch with a snap “click” tone, if the printed board exceeds the
latch claw head.

Procedures for board extraction
Apply the thumb nail to the latch knob at both socket edges. Forcibly widen
the latch knobs to right and left ways, and release the latch. Then draw the
board out along an angle where the board is raised.

JBAT1: Clear CMOS Setting (1)
If the board refuses to boot due to inappropriate CMOS settings here is how
to proceed to clear (reset) the CMOS to its default values.
Connector type: 2.54mm pitch 1x3-pin headers
Pin Mode
1-2 Keep CMOS (Default)
23 1
2-3 Clear CMOS
23 1
You may need to clear the CMOS if your system cannot boot up because you
forgot your password, the CPU clock setup is incorrect, or the CMOS settings
need to be reset to default values after the system BIOS has been updated.
Refer to the following solutions to reset your CMOS setting:
Solution A:
1. Power off the system and disconnect the power cable.
2. Place a shunt to short pin 2 and pin 3 of JBAT1 for ve seconds.
3. Place the shunt back to pin 1 and pin 2 of JBAT1.
4. Power on the system.
Solution B:
If the CPU Clock setup is incorrect, you may not be able to boot up. In this
case, follow these instructions:
Turn the system off, then on again. The CPU will automatically boot up1.
using standard parameters.
As the system boots, enter BIOS and set up the CPU clock.2.
Note:
If you are unable to enter BIOS setup, turn the system on and off a few
times.
