Components
I/O View
Refer to the diagram below to identify the components on this side of the system.
DVI
The Digital Visual Interface (DVI) port supports a high quality VGA-compatible
device such as a monitor or projector to allow viewing on a larger external
display.
LAN
The eight-pin RJ-45 LAN port supports a standard Ethernet cable for connection
to a local network.
COM
Communication or serial port is compatible with RS-232 interface without RI (ring
indicator) signal.
USB
The USB (Universal Serial Bus) port is compatible with USB devices such as
keyboards, mouse devices, cameras, and hard disk drives. USB allows many
devices to run simultaneously on a single computer, with some peripheral acting
as additional plug-in sites or hubs.
AUDIO
The stereo audio jack (3.5mm) is used to connect the system’s audio out signal to
amplified speakers or headphones.
DC-IN
The supplied power adapter converts AC power to DC power for use with this
jack. Power supplied through this jack supplies power to the system. To prevent
damage to the system, always use the supplied power adapter.

Mounting SI-18 to the Wall
You can install SI-18 on plastic (LCD monitor), wood, drywall surface over studs, or
a solid concrete or metal plane directly. Ensure the installer uses at least four M3
length 6mm screws to secure the system on wall. Six M3 length 6mm screws are
recommended to secure the system on wall.
Fasteners are not included with the unit, and must be supplied by the installer. The
types of fasteners required are dependent on the type of wall construction. Choose
fasteners that are rated either ”Medium Duty“ or ”Heavy Duty.“ To assure proper
fastener selection and installation, follow the fastener manufacturer’s
recommendations.
Wall mounting requirements
Note: Before mounting the system on wall, ensure that you are following all
applicable building and electric codes.
When mounting, ensure that you have enough room for power and signal cable
routing. And have good ventilation for power adapter. The method of mounting must
be able to support weight of the SI-18 plus the suspend weight of all the cables to
be attached to the system. Use the following methods for mounting your system:

12
Mounting to hollow walls
Method 1: Wood surface –A minimum wood thickness –38mm (1.5in.) by
25.4 cm (10in.) –of high, construction –grade wood is recommended.
Note: This method provides the most reliable attachment of the unit with
little risk that the unit will come loose or require ongoing maintenance.
Method 2: Drywall walls - Drywall over wood studs is acceptable.
Mounting to a solid concrete or brick wall - Mounts on a flat smooth surface.
Selecting the location
Plan the mounting location thoroughly. Locations such as walkway areas, hallways,
and crowded areas are not recommended. Mount the unit to a flat, sturdy,
structurally sound column or wall surface.
The best mounting surface is a standard countertop, cabinet, table, or other
structure that is minimally the width and length of the unit. This recommendation
reduces the risk that someone may accidentally walk into and damage the device.
Local laws governing the safety of individuals might require this type of
consideration.

Installation
Installing WLAN antenna (Optional)
SI-18 reserved one SMA connector hole for WLAN (wireless LAN) antenna
connection on I/O side. It means you can only use one antenna solution WLAN card.
For 802.11n solution, you can only have up to 150Mbit/s performance. You can have
WLAN feature by purchase WLAN set from your sales representative. And follow
below procedure to install the WLAN feature by yourself.
Before you start to install WLAN antenna and card please:
- Complete remove DC power source from SI-18.
- Please ensure you have good ESD protection environment and if possible please
wear ESD protection equipment and have well grounding connection.
1. Upside-down SI-18 and let bottom side face to you.
2. Remove all M3 screw of bottom chassis (12 pieces) with properly screw driver
from point A.
3. Rotating SI-18 to let bottom side face to your body.
4. Using screw driver to pinch out the knock-out metal-plate of SMAantenna hole
from point B. To avoid the metal fall in system, please pinch out the metal-cover
with same direction as the figure below.

5. Hold WLAN antenna SMAhead carefully and through the hole on I/O wall.
Beware the direction of SMA head with the hole, there only has one direction can
pass through the antenna hole. And there has one washer shall be put on head
before through into the hole, point C.
6. Fit on antenna washer then hex nut on SMAconnector and use hex socket driver
or plier to tie the nut to ensure the SMA connector secure on I/O wall.

cable routing.
9. Screw bottom chassis back to system with 8 screws where disassembled by
procedure 2 in above.

Installing the memory
The motherboard supports two DDR3 memory socket for a maximum total memory of
4GB in DDR3 memory type.
Installing and Removing Memory Module (CN1)
To install the DDR3 modules, locate the memory slot on the board and perform the
following steps:
1. Hold the DDR3 module so that the key of the DDR3 module align with those on
the memory slot.
2. Gently push the DDR3 module in SOCKET position until the clips of the slot
close to hold the DDR3 module in place when the DDR3 module touches the
bottom of the slot.
3. To remove the DDR3 module, press the clips with both hands.
