Removing the Chassis Cover
1. Make sure the system and all other peripheral devices connected to it has been
powered-off.
2. Disconnect all power cords and cables.
3. The 6 mounting screws on the sides of the system are used to secure the cover
to the chassis. Remove these screws and then put them in a safe place for later
use.

Installing a SODIMM
1. Locate the SODIMM socket on the system board.

2. Note the key on the socket. The key ensures the module can be plugged into
the socket in only one direction.

3. Grasping the module by its edges, align the module into the socket at an ap-
proximately 30 degrees angle. Apply firm even pressure to each end of the
module until it slips down into the socket. The contact fingers on the edge of
the module will almost completely disappear inside the socket.

4. Push the module down until the clips at each end of the socket lock into posi-
tion. You will hear a distinctive “click”, indicating the module is correctly locked
into position.

Rackmount Instructions
Elevated Operating Ambient
If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack cabinet, the operating temperature of the
rack environment may be higher than the room temperature. Considerations should
be given on installing the system in an environment compatible with the maximum
ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer.
Reduced Air Flow
Installation of the system in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow re-
quired for safe operation of the system is not compromised.
Mechanical Loading
Mounting the system in the rack should be such that it will not cause hazard from
uneven mechanical loading.
Circuit Overloading
Considerations should be given to the connection of the system to the supply circuit
and the effect overloading the circuits might have on overcurrent protection and
supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of the system’s nameplate ratings should be
used when addressing this concern.
Reliable Earthing
Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular at-
tention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the
branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips).”

16
Mounting Kit
• 1 VESA bracket
• 6 bracket screws
VESA Mounting
1. Prior to installing the VESA bracket, make sure you have already installed the
wallmount brackets.
Align the VESA bracket to the wallmount brackets and then use the provided
mounting screws to secure the bracket in place.

Using DVI and HDMI Ports
The S3 Graphics Chrome®435 ULP controller supports 2 DVI-I and 1 HDMI ports.
Important:
• Does not support multiple displays using HDMI and the 2 DVI-I at the
same time.
• For dual display, use the top DVI + bottom DVI or HDMI + bottom DVI.
• DO NOT connect devices to the top DVI and HDMI at the same time.
The display will appear blank if ever devices are connected to these
ports.
• In a BIOS environment, when devices are connected to both the top
DVI and bottom DVI, the system will detect the bottom DVI's display.
When devices are connected to both the HDMI and bottom DVI, the
system will detect the bottom's DVI's display.

S3 Graphics Driver
After installing the S3 Graphics Driver (from the provided CD), only the graphics
part of the driver will be installed. The audio part of the driver will not install at the
same time. In the Device Manager, you will notice that a yellow exclamation mark
will appear next to the audio devices. It indicates that the devices are not config-
ured correctly.
1. To open Device Manag-
er, click Start, and then
click Control Panel. Dou-
ble-click System. On the
Hardware tab, click De-
vice Manager. The right
photo shows the yellow
exclamation mark next to
the 2 audio devices.

S3 Graphics Driver (from
the provided CD) and re-
booted the system, the
screen on the right will
appear. Select "Yes, this
time only" and then click
Next.
