FCC and DOC Statement on Class B
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 reason-
able protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference
to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encour-
aged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the re-
ceiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio TV technician for help.

Static Electricity Precautions
It is quite easy to inadvertently damage your PC, system board, components or devices even
before installing them in your system unit. Static electrical discharge can damage computer
components without causing any signs of physical damage. You must take extra care in han-
dling them to ensure against electrostatic build-up.
1. To prevent electrostatic build-up, leave the system board in its anti-static bag until you
are ready to install it.
2. Wear an antistatic wrist strap.
3. Do all preparation work on a static-free surface.
4. Hold the device only by its edges. Be careful not to touch any of the components, con-
tacts or connections.
5. Avoid touching the pins or contacts on all modules and connectors. Hold modules or
connectors by their ends.
Safety Precautions
• Use the correct DC / AC input voltage range.
• Unplug the power cord before removing the system chassis cover for installation or
servicing. After installation or servicing, cover the system chassis before plugging in
the power cord.
• There is danger of explosion if battery incorrectly replaced.
• Replace only with the same or equivalent specifications of batteries recommend by
the manufacturer.
• Dispose of used batteries according to local ordinance.
• Keep this system away from humid environments.
• Make sure the system is placed or mounted correctly and stably to prevent the chance
of dropping or falling may cause damage.
• The openings on the system shall not be blocked and shall be kept in distance from
other objects to make sure of proper air ventilation to protect the system from over-
heating.
• Dress the cables, especially the power cord, so they will not be stepped on, in contact
with high temperature surfaces, or cause any tripping hazards.
• Do not place anything on top of the power cord. Use a power cord that has been ap-
proved for use with the system and is compliant with the voltage and current ranges
required by the system’s electrical specifications.
• If the system is to be unused or stored for a long time, disconnect it from the power
source to avoid damage by transient overvoltage.
• If one of the following occurs, consult a service personnel:
- The power cord or plug is damaged.
- Liquid has penetrated the system.
- The system has been exposed to moisture.
- The system is not working properly.
- The system is physically damaged.
• The unit uses a three-wire ground cable which is equipped with a third pin to ground
the unit and prevent electric shock. Do not defeat the purpose of this pin. If your outlet
does not support this kind of plug, contact your electrician to replace the outlet.
• Disconnect the system from the electricity outlet before cleaning. Use a damp cloth
for cleaning the surface. Do not use liquid or spray detergents for cleaning.
Important:
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage your processor, disk drive and other
components. Perform the upgrade instruction procedures described at an ESD
workstation only. If such a station is not available, you can provide some ESD pro-
tection by wearing an antistatic wrist strap and attaching it to a metal part of the
system chassis. If a wrist strap is unavailable, establish and maintain contact with
the system chassis throughout any procedures requiring ESD protection.

XMounting Options
The wall/VESA mount kit contains one versitile bracket for mounting the system onto a wall or
a monitor.
Wall Mount
Place the system top-side down on a stable worksurface. Locate the mounting holes on the
bottom of the system and the bracket and make sure them align. Screw the brackets onto the
system with four screws as illustrated below.
The pre-drilled mounting holes on the brackets allow for different wall mount distances. The as-
sembly can either be screwed onto a wall or hung on steps screws.

VESA Mount
There are two sets of pre-drilled mounting holes on
the mount bracket — 75mm x 75mm, 100mm x
100mm — to adapt to VESA mounting vari-
ants. Mount the bracket onto the tapped
holes on the back of a monitor, a
stand or a wall rack that conforms
to VESA mounting.
Attache the two step screws to the bottom
side of the system as illustrated.
Mount the assembly onto the VESA mount bracket previously attached to the back of a moni-
tor. Make sure the step screws sit perfectly into the step screw holes.

XAssembly
Overview
The system is assembled in the following procedure. To disassemble, please carry out the pro-
cedure in the reversed order.
1. Mount the board onto the top cover.
2. Attach the side cover.
3. Attach the front and rear panels.
4. Mount the SATA drive onto the SATA tray.
5. Mount the SATA drive tray and bottom cover.
Bottom Cover and SATA Drive Tray
The internal I/O of the system is mainly ac-
cessed on the bottom side. The bottom metal
cover and the 2.5" SATA drive tray are secured
onto the chassis with 4 screws that go through
the front and rear panel metals. Use a Phillips
screwdriver to unscrew them.
The cable for SATA data and power shall be
connected first before assembly. Route the
cable in the manner that there is no contact
with heat generating chips and wafers.
Place the tray on a worksurface and place 2.5"
SATA drive onto the tray as illustrated. Align
the screw holes on the SATA drive to those on
the tray.
Fasten the screws and secure the drive onto
the tray as illustrated with four screws.
