Chapter 2: Hardware Installation
2.1 CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT (CPU)
Special Notice:
Remove Pin Cap before installation, and make good preservation for future use.
When the CPU is removed, cover the Pin Cap on the empty socket to ensure pin
legs won’t be damaged.
pin cap
Step 1: Pull the lever sideways away from the socket and then raise the
lever up to a 90-degree angle.
Step 2: Look for the black cut edge on socket, and the white dot on CPU
should point wards this black cut edge. The CPU will fit only in the
correct orientation.
Step 2-1:

Step 2-2:
Step 3: Hold the CPU down firmly, and then close the lever to complete
the installation.
Step 4: Put the CPU Fan on the CPU and buckle it. Connect the CPU FAN
power cable to the JCFAN1. This completes the installation.
2.2 FAN HEADERS
These fan headers support cooling-fans built in the computer. The fan
wiring and plug may be different according to the fan manufacturer.
Connect the fan cable to the connector while matching the black wire to
pin#1.

Note:
The JCFAN1 and JSFAN1 support 4-pin and 3-pin head connector.
When connecting with wires onto connectors, please note that the red
wire is the positive and should be connected to pin#2, and the black
wire is Ground and should be connected to GND.

2.3 MEMORY MODULE INSTALLATION
1. Unlock a DIMM slot by pressing the retaining clips outward. Align a
DIMM on the slot such that the notch on the DIMM matches the
break on the Slot.
2. Insert the DIMM vertically and firmly into the slot until the retaining
chip snap back in place and the DIMM is properly seated.
Note:
To assure the system safety, if you need to change DDR modules, firstly,
please unplug the 20-pin power cable with the power connector, and
then you can change the modules. Afterwards, plug in the cable the
power connector again, and finally you can boot up the system.
