2.1 Installations
Before installing any card or module into the device, remove the screws
shown in the picture below to pull out and remove the cover.
2.1.1 Memory Module Installation
To install the modules, locate the memory slot on the motherboard and
perform the following steps:
1. Press the ejector tab of the memory slot down and outwards with your
fingertips.
2. Hold the memory module and align the key of the module with that on the
memory slot.
3. Gently push the module in an upright position unitl the ejector tabs of the
memory slot close to hold the module in place when the module touches
the bottom of the slot.
To remove the module, press the ejector tabs outwards with your fintertips to
eject the module.

2.1.2 Mini-PCIe Card Installation
1. Align the mini-PCIe card’s bus connector with the mini-PCIe slot, and
insert the card slantwise.
2. Push the mini PCIe card downwards as shown in the picture, and fix it with
a screw.
2.1.3 WiFi / 3G / 4G Antenna Installation
Insert the WiFi / 3G / 4G antenna extension cable through the antenna hole of
the front I/O cover and fasten the antenna as shown below. Then apply
adhesive around the hex nut behind the front I/O cover to prevent the
extension cable from falling off if the cable becomes loose.
1. Fasten the hex nut and the washer.
Then install the antenna.
2. Apply adhesive around here.
Info: The diameter of the nut is around 6.35 mm (0.25”-36UNC).

2.1.4 Mounting Installation
Requirements
Before mounting the system, ensure that you have enough room for the power
adaptor and signal cable routing, and have good ventilation for the power
adaptor. The method of mounting must be able to support weight of the SI-
61S plus the weight of the suspending cables attached to the system. Use the
following methods for mounting your system:
Wall Mounting Installation
1. Turn your device upside down. Attach the wall-mount kit to the device and
secure with the supplied 8 screws.
2. Prepare at least 4 screws (M3) to install the device on the wall as shown.

2.2 Setting the Jumpers
Configure your SI-61S by using jumpers to enable the features that you need
based on your applications. Contact your supplier if you have doubts about
the best configuration for your use.
2.2.1 How to Set Jumpers
Jumpers are short-length conductors consisting of several metal pins with a
base mounted on the circuit board. Jumper caps are placed (or removed) on
the pins to enable or disable functions or features. If a jumper has 3 pins, you
can connect Pin 1 with Pin 2 or Pin 2 with Pin 3 by shorting the jumper.
