Installing a SODIMM
The system supports two DDR4 SODIMM socket. To install a memory mod-
ule, grasp the memory module by its edges and align the module’s notch
with the socket’s notch; then insert the memory into the socket at an
angle and push it down until you feel a click.

Notes:
1. The system supports dual-channel conguration. To enable dual-channel,
populate both SODIMM sockets.
2. If installing only one memory module, please install it on the memory socket
labeled DIMM 1 (the one closer to the center of the board).
3. The SODIMM sockets can only accept DDR4 memory modules. Please do not
install other types of memory modules. The SKUs with Intel®CM238 Chipset
support ECC memory.

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 stando 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.

The system board is equipped with 2 Mini PCIe slots with 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.
2. Push the Mini PCIe card down and use the provided mounting screws to
secure the card on the system board.

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 correctly in contact with the system board.
Close the slot's cover and lock the slot by pushing the white latch outward.

Assemble the Modular Panel PC
The modular panel PC comprises two parts: a box module and a panel module.
1. At the bottom of the box, there's a male ADP connector.
Note:
If the orientation of the assembly is not correct, the box module will not seat evenly on top
of the panel module, which results in some space in between them and indicates that the
ADP connectors are not engaged. When this is the case, please turn the box module the
other way around.

2. Hold the box module with its ADP connector (female) in line with the
ADP connector (male) of the panel module. Align the box module with
the panel module using the alignment posts.
