2. Remove Poseidon Standoffs
The Posei on SBC is shippe with four stan offs installe at the four mounting holes, each secure with a 7mm
stan off at the top of the boar . Remove the stan offs provi e with the Posei on boar by unscrewing the four
7mm stan offs at the top four corners of the boar . Save the four 7mm stan offs for the next step.
3. Install IDE Flashdisk or IDE Cable (Optional)
You can install either an IDE flash isk mo ule or an IDE cable for a har rive onto the CPU. Since there is only
one IDE connector – CN2, you cannot install both at the same time irectly on the boar . To use more than one
IDE evice on a CPU, please see the Posei on FastStart Gui e for configuration information.
3.1 Flashdisk Module
If you are installing a flash isk mo ule onto the Posei on SBC boar , install it now. The flash isk mo ule comes
with its own har ware kit, inclu ing qty. 2 #2-56 pan hea screws, one #2-56 1/4” spacer, an one #2 washer. This
har ware is use to hol the flash isk onto the boar an prevent it from coming loose from vibration. Make sure to
set the master/slave jumper to the master position since this is the only IDE evice in the system.
