Safety Precautions
Before getting started, read the following important cautions.
1. Be sure to ground yourself to prevent static charge when installing the internal
components. Use a grounding wrist strap and place all electronic components in any
static-shielded devices. Most electronic components are sensitive to static electrical
charge.
2. Disconnect the power cords from the NA150 before making any installation. Be sure both
the system and the external devices are turned OFF. Sudden surge of power could ruin
sensitive components. Make sure the NA150 is properly grounded.
3. Do not open the system’s top cover. If opening the cover for maintenance is a must, only
a trained technician is allowed to do so. Integrated circuits on computer boards are
sensitive to static electricity. To avoid damaging chips from electrostatic discharge,
observe the following precautions:
Before handling a board or integrated circuit, touch an unpainted portion of the
system unit chassis for a few seconds. This will help to discharge any static
electricity on your body.
When handling boards and components, wear a wrist-grounding strap, available
from most electronic component stores.

Power LED：
This 2-pin connector (Pin 1, 2) connects an LED indicator to the system power switch on the
case. Pin 2 is assigned as +, and Pin 1 as -. The Power LED lights up when the system is
powered ON.
GPI Pin-header：
This 2-pin connector (Pin 3, 4) connects the GPI signal to the SoC with pin 4, which allows
users to control GPI to be low level.
System Reset Switch：
This 2-pin connector (Pin 5, 6) can be connected to the case-mounted reset switch that
reboots your computer instead of turning OFF the power switch. This method is a better way
to reboot your system for longer life of the system’s power supply.
HDD Activity LED：
This connection is linked to the hard drive activity LED on the control panel. LED flashes
when HDD is being accessed. The 2-pin connector (Pin 7, 8) connects the hard disk drive to
the front panel HDD LED, Pin 7 assigned as -, and Pin 8 is assigned as +.
