1.1 Introduction
The IB836 is a 3.5-inch single board computer powered by robust Intel®
Atom® / Pentium or Celeron processors to meet the demands of critical
real-time computing in applications spanning the retail, transport, industrial
automation, and medical sectors. The SBC has two DDR4 memory slots with
a 32GB capacity and in-band error-correcting code (IBECC) functionality that
corrects single-bit memory errors in standard, non-ECC memory. Three
independent displays can be driven with up to 4Kp60 resolutions via two
DisplayPort (DP & Type C) and one eDP or LVDS output. Rich I/O
connectivity and expansion capabilities allow connection to numerous
peripherals and include 2x USB 2.0, 4x USB 3.1, 2x SATA III, 1x M.2 and 1x
mPCIe interface, as well as three Gigabit Ethernet ports. Measuring 102mm
by 147mm, the board operates on a 9V~36V wide range power input.

2.1 Essential Installations
Follow the instructions below to install the memory.
2.1.1 Installing the Memory
The IB836 series supports two DDR4 memory sockets for a maximum total
memory of 32 GB. To install the modules, locate the memory slot on the
board and perform the following steps:
1. Align the key of the memory module with that on the memory slot and
insert the module slantwise.
2. Gently push the module in an upright position until the clips of the slot
close to hold the module in place when the module touches the bottom
of the slot.
To remove the module, press the clips outwards with both hands, and the
module will pop-up.
