Step 1 Preparing the Chassis
Open the chassis with two hands by putting some pressure on your thumbs to push the cover reverse.
Remove top cover and unpack the accessories.
(Chassis kit content)
Rear Cover
Remove protective foil of
heat spreader pad!

Step 2 Installing the Heatsink
Fujitsu provides both a passive and an active heatsink solution, and a common mounting backplate.
Before assembling the mainboard into the chassis, it is recommended to install the optional onboard components
like cooler, RAM, M.2, etc.).
Mounting Backplate
Do not remove the insulating
foil of the backplate, otherwise
the mainboard may be
damaged due to possible short
circuit
(backplate position)
Note: Mounting holes
are asymmetrical!

Note:
Recommended mounting torque
for heatsink screws: 0.6Nm
(max. 0.8Nm)
Passive Heatsink
Note: The assembly solution with the coloured plastic part as shown above will be replaced
by an alternative “SoC die-crack-protection” implementation in future.
Hold the heatsink with one hand so
that it doesn’t tilt while installing the
screws
Assemble all 4 screws according to the
order shown. Each screw can be
tightened immediately!
Finally, remove the coloured plastic
part by turning it carefully clockwise.
This coloured plastic part is used for
secure assembly of the heatsink in
order not to damage the CPU die (“die
crack protection”).
After assembly, this part can be
scrapped
Note:
Recommended mounting torque for heatsink
screws: 0.6Nm (max. 0.8Nm)
Passive heatsink positioning:
Gaps of the passive heatsink must be located
towards the border of the mainboard
Mounting Backplate:
Do not remove the insulating foil of the
backplate, otherwise the mainboard may be
damaged due to possible short circuit

Active Heatsink
Note: The assembly solution with the coloured plastic part as shown above will be replaced
by an alternative “SoC die-crack-protection” implementation in future.
Note:
Recommended mounting torque for heatsink
screws: 0.6Nm (max. 0.8Nm)
Active heatsink positioning:
Heatsink must be positioned according to
picture
Mounting Backplate:
Do not remove the insulating foil of the
backplate, otherwise the mainboard may be
damaged due to possible short circuit
Hold the heatsink with one hand so
that it doesn’t tilt while installing the

Step 3 Inserting additional Modules (Memory / M.2 / …)
The following picture shows some possible M.2 modules
Attention: Do not touch any pins! Touch the memory at the outside edges only.
Do not stick a barcode onto any modules!
The following procedure is recommended in order to ensure secure electrical contact:
Insert the memory angular and
pay attention to the notch!
Remove the memory again
completely from the DIMM
socket!
Insert memory again
Press down the memory until it
clicks into place
Do not press in the middle of the
memory, but press down on the
outside edges

WLAN module / M.2. module assembly
First remove the M.2 mounting screws.
Insert M.2 module angular into the socket (while paying attention to the coding / notch).
Both modules, as shown in the picture, have to be touched on the outside edges only.
For the M.2 SSD (left socket), the assembly nut and screw are pre-installed for a 2240mm module.
In order to install a 2260 module, the 2240 assembly nut has to be moved to the 2260 position first.
For a 2280 module, the 2240 assembly nut has to be removed, and the pre-installed M.2 WLAN (2230) nut
is used for both M.2 2230 WLAN and M.2 2280 SSD
Recommended torque for the M.2 screw is 0.2Nm, and 0.3Nm for the nut.
Pay attention

Step 4 Mainboard Assembly
1. Swing in the mainboard (rear chassis side)
2. Move it carefully to the final position
Take care for the heat spreader pad! Protective foil must be removed first!
Insert the chassis rear cover as shown above.
Push down the mainboard carefully while the four mounting holes fit onto the chassis nuts.
