directives of the Union European (EU). A Certicate of Compliance is available
by contacting Technical Support.
This product has passed the CE test for environmental specications. Test
conditions for passing included the equipment being operated within an
industrial enclosure. In order to protect the product from being damaged by
ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) and EMI leakage, we strongly recommend the
use of CE-compliant industrial enclosure products.
FCC Class B
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to
the following two conditions:
(1)This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2)This device must accept any interference received, including interference
that may cause undesired operation.
NOTE:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits
are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference
in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate

unintentional additions of lead, mercury, hex chrome, PBB or PBDB that ex-
ceed a maximum concentration value of 0.1% by weight or for cadmium exceed
0.01% by weight, per homogenous material. Homogenous material is dened
as a substance or mixture of substances with uniform composition (such as sol-
ders, resins, plating, etc.). Lead-free solder is used for all terminations (Sn(96-
96.5%), Ag(3.0-3.5%) and Cu(0.5%)).

1.14 Installing the Memory
To install the Memory module, locate the Memory DIMM slot on the board
and perform as below:
1. Hold the Memory module so that the key of the Memory module align
with those on the Memory DIMM slot.
2. Gently push the Memory module in an upright position and a right way
until the clips of the DIMM slot close to lock the Memory module in place,
when the Memory module touches the bottom of the DIMM slot.
3. To remove the Memory module, just pressing the clips of DIMM slot with
both hands.
Note: To enable Dual Channel DDR3 memory technology, you have to install
identical dual memory modules into sockets of the same color, as below.
