Preparation

14
A stable and clean working environment are essential. Dust and dirt can get into components and cause a
malfunction. Use containers to keep small components separated.
Adequate lighting and proper tools can prevent you from accidentally damaging the internal components. Most
of the procedures that follow require only a few simple tools, including the following:
A Philips screwdriver
A flat-tipped screwdriver
A set of jewelers Screwdrivers
A grounding strap
An anti-static pad
Using your fingers can disconnect most of the connections. It is recommended that you do not use needle-nosed
pliers to disconnect connections as these can damage the soft metal or plastic parts of the connectors.
Before working on internal components, make sure that the power is off. Ground yourself before touching any
internal components, by touching a metal object. Static electricity can damage many of the electronic
components. Humid environment tend to have less static electricity than dry environments. A grounding strap is
warranted whenever danger of static electricity exists.
Computer components and electronic circuit boards can be damaged by discharges of static electricity. Working
on the computers that are still connected to a power supply can be extremely dangerous. Follow the guidelines
below to avoid damage to your computer or yourself:
Always disconnect the unit from the power outlet whenever you are working inside the case.
If possible, wear a grounded wrist strap when you are working inside the computer case. Alternatively,
discharge any static electricity by touching the bare metal chassis of the unit case, or the bare metal body
of any other grounded appliance.
Hold electronic circuit boards by the edges only. Never touch the components on the board unless it is
necessary to do so. Do not flex or stress the circuit board.
Leave all components inside the static-proof packaging that they shipped with until they are ready for
installation.
Use correct screws and do not over tighten screws.
2.1 Before You Begin

15
Turn your PPC-x86P upside down, that is, placing the panel side on the table, and find the back cover marked
with green color.
Remove three screws on the back, one screw on the side, and lift up this back cover to see the memory slot and
2.5” drive bay.
Securing all the screws is essential for they would be re-used for the restoration of the back cover, after all
preparation procedures are completed.

16
To install SO-DIMM
1. Make sure the “Key”on Memory module and SO-DIMM slot are perfectly matched, and add slowly
the RAM module into the SO-DIMM slot.
2. Push the RAM module downwards to seat it firmly. Make sure the RAM module is snapped perfectly
by the slot, and the two handles are restored back to “close”position automatically. If not, press the
handles to “close”position.
3. To remove the Memory module, please push the handles outwards, and the memory module will be
automatically disengaged.

17
Procedures:
(1) Turn off the system and open up the back cover as in Section 2.3.
(2) Find the four screws fastened on the Hard Drive bracket (blue circles as below). Remove these screws
to acquire the Hard Drive bracket.

(3) As illustrated below, please have the 2.5” Hard Drive assembled with this bracket, leaving the Hard
Drive I/O at either end of the bracket for that the bracket itself is a symmetrical design, and add in the
suggested sequence below the four screws enclosed in the accessory screw bag, for a perfect and firm
Hard Drive subset.
(4) Restore this Hard Drive subset back to the chassis, assure the Hard Drive I/O side face to the power
supply unit, and add the four screws back to position.
(5) Add SATA signal cable and SATA power cable to complete the work.

18
Turn your PPC-x86P upside down, that is, placing the panel side on the table, and find the back cover marked
with green color.
Remove three screws on the back, one screw on the side, and lift up this back cover to see the expansion slot.
Securing all the screws is essential for they would be re-used for the restoration of the back cover, after all
preparation procedures are completed.

19
Procedures:
(1) Turn off the system and open up the back cover as in Section 2.6.
(2) Find the retention bracket on the slot opening as below (marked with green color). Remove the screw
on the bracket (blue circle), and detach this bracket. In case no expansion card is in position, the long
PCI bracket will fall out of position now.
(3) To add a PCIe expansion card, move the card into the place and make sure the PCIe card bracket
tongue is tucked in the cut-out where the retention bracket was placed until it does not move any
longer. Watch to align the golden finger of the card and the riser card slot, gently and slowly move the
golden finger into the slot firmly.
(4) Add the retention bracket and one screw to secure this assembly.
(5) Restore the back cover and four screws.

20
Procedures:
(1) Turn off the system and find the eight screws that hold the entire large back cover as below. Remove
these screws and lift up the large back cover to see all the integrated parts. Please be advised that the
large back cover might be snapped by the slim DVD drive if there is any. Watch this corner before the
back cover is lifted, especially when an unknown lock-on is occurring. For this particular reason, it is not
recommended to open up this large back cover when user’s intention is only around the access of memory,
hard drive, or PCIe card, and the other two smaller back covers are better options for such a purpose.
(2) In case a processor is already installed, find the four screws that secure the CPU cooler, gently rotate
these screws counterclockwisely and diagonally so the heatsink can be disengaged off the processor
surface. Change the processor as usual, restore the cooler and cover in the reverse ways.
(3) If no processor is installed, add you processor first. Apply proper amount of cooler paste on the
processor surface, find the cooler in the product packing, and deploy the cooler.
