Chapter2HardwareInstallation
This chapter introduces the system connectors & jumper settings, and guides you to
apply them for field application.
BeforeInstallation
Before you install the system, make sure you follow the following descriptions.
1. Before removing the cover, shut down the operation System and disconnect
the power cords.
2. Install or unplug any connector, CPU, PCI Card, Disk On Module and hard disk
be sure that the power cable is disconnected the system. If not, this may
damage the system.
3. Installing a heat sink is necessary for heat dissipation from your CPU. If heat sink
is not mounted, this may cause the CPU fail due to over-heating problem.
4. The ESD (Electricity Static Discharge) may be created from human body that
touches the board. It may do damage to the board circuit.

Removing Covers –Installing Hardware
If you are installing hardware option, you can remove the top cover.The
following figure will guide you how to install SATA 2.5" or SATA 3.5" HDD inside, and
DDRIII-RAM module the FR9100 and how to install the FR9100 fixers. (Please see
the spots circled.)
a. Unscrew Top cover
6#-32
b. Installing CPU and Heat Sink
The FR9100 system supports Intel T9400/P8400/Celeron CPU’s in mPGA-479M Socket,
when you install CPU, make sure the CPU into the CPU socket and lock heat sink
attached on the top to prevent from overheating.
b1. Installing CPU to CPU Socket
12
Note: 1. Be careful with the pin orientation when installing CPU, be sure that align
gold arrow on CPU with arrow key (1) has to insert into the mPGA479M
socket. And use I-Type screwdriver to twist the lock key (2).
2. The System power must be turned off – to disconnect the power cord.

Note: When installing CPU, make sure heat sink paste (thermal pad) to stand
between CPU DIE and heat sink in order to protect CPU and enhance
heat dissipation.

c. Installing SATA Hard Disk and SATA Disk On Module
The FR9100 system supports three 2.5” SATA HDD or two 3.5” SATA HDD space., If a
PCI card is added onto the system, the HDD space can supports two 2.5” SATA
HDD or one 3.5” SATA HDD only.

c3. Installing SATA DOM
When installing the SATA DOM on SATA4 port connector, must set to 1, 2 close
by JP1. (Defaulted 2, 3 closed for SATA HDD or SATA CDROM.)
JP1
SATA-DOM
Note: 1. Use caution when handling the SATA Disk On Module to prevent
damage to SATA connector as you inserted DOM. Be careful with the
orientation when installing connectors.
2. The SATA DOM socket PIN 7 is VCC+5V. (Don’t connect to the other SATA
device. Like SATA CDROM or SATA HDD.)The pin assignment is below picture.
