Notes:
1. The PoE ports support PoE devices that comply with 802.3af and each port delivers 15.4W of
power to connected devices. The system may be equipped with 4 Gigabit Ethernet ports without
PoE depending on the SKU; please refer to the Ordering Information for details.
2. This port can be in HDMI or DVI-D (HDMI available upon request).
3. This port is a DP/HDMI combo port but can only transmit either HDMI or DP signals (as indicated on
the panel). Please plug in a DP or an HDMI cable with the right orientation and alignment to avoid
damage to the connector. You should feel resistance (due to a pin on the right) if the cable is not
inserted correctly. For detailed instructions, see https://youtu.be/SUj07rfN5l8.

Installing a 2.5" SATA Drive
2. Insert the SATA drive into the HDD bracket and secure it in place with the
provided screws (black screws). The HDD bracket can accommodate two
SATA drives.
SATA power/data cable
Note:
Connect SATA cables before afxing the SATA drive on the HDD bracket as the HDD
bracket would prevent access to the SATA connectors of the drive.

3. Place the SATA drive with the HDD bracket into the system. Align the
mounting holes on the HDD bracket with the mounting holes on the SATA
drive bay and use the provided screws to secure the drive in place.
4. Connect the other end of the SATA data cable and the SATA power cable to
the SATA data and SATA power connector on the mainboard respectively.

Installing a SODIMM
Grasp the module by its edges and align the SODIMM’s notch with the
socket’s key; then insert the SODIMM into the socket at an angle and push it
down until the retaining clips snap into place.
Notes:
1. The system supports dual-channel conguration. To enable dual-channel,
populate both SODIMM sockets.
2. If you plan to install only one SODIMM, install it in the DIMM1 socket (upper
one and closer the center of the mainboard).
3. The SODIMM sockets can only accept DDR4 memory modules. Please do not
install other types of memory modules.
To remove a SODIMM, gently spread the retaining clips at each end of the
SODIMM socket. The SODIMM should pop out of the socket. Lift the SODIMM
away from the socket on the mainboard.

The Mini PCIe sockets are located on the mainboard. You need to revmove the
daughter board and the front bezel to access them.
The 4 mounting screws on the daughter board are used to secure the board
to the mainboard. Remove these screws and put them in a safe place for later
use. To disengage the daughter board from the mainboard, gently pull the card
out of the connector.
The 4 mounting screws (plus the two fasteners used on DVI-D connector) af-
x the front bezel to the system as shown in the following pictures. Remove
these screws and put them in a safe place for later use.

2. Secure the card on the mainboard with the provided mounting screw.
The system board is equipped with 2 Mini PCIe slots with Mini SIM card sockets to
support a variety of wireless LAN and mobile broadband communication modules.
Mini PCIe slot 1 provides both USB and PCIe interfaces whereas Mini PCIe slot 2
provides only USB interface.
1. Grasp the Mini PCIe card by its edges and align the notch in the connector of
the Mini PCIe card with the notch in the connector on the system board.
3. If the Mini PCIe card has antennas, route the antennas to the antenna holes
on the front chassis of the device.

Installing a SIM Card
Open the SIM card socket by pushing the white latch inward.
Insert the SIM card into the slot. Please place the card with the IC facing down
and the angled corner aligning with the socket's angled corner so it will be cor-
rectly in contact with the system board.
Close the slot's cover and lock the slot by pushing the white latch outward.

Installing an M.2 Card
To install an M.2 card, insert the bottom edge of the M.2 card into the
connector, and then secure the card to the standoff with the provided
mounting screw.

The onboard M.2 Type 2280 connector (M Key) supports PCIe NVMe modules
up to PCIe Gen 3.0 x4 bandwidth. Note that only SKUs with Intel® QM175
Chipset support M.2 socket.

Installing a PCI or PCIe Expansion Card
Important:
When inserting expansion cards into the system, please select a standard card
within 167.65mm (as shown in the picture below) in order to t into the expansion slot.
The PCI and PCIe slots on the riser card inside the system are used to install
expansion cards. To install an expansion card you need to first remove the slot
plate and bracket by uninstalling the screw on the rear panel.
