2.1 Installations
2.1.1 Installing the CPU
1. To unlock the CPU socket, lift the ZIF lever to release the clamping
pressure on the socket. Keep the lever arm upright.
2. Position the CPU above the socket such that the CPU corner aligns with
the gold triangle matching the socket corner with a small triangle.
3. Carefully put the CPU onto the socket and push down the lever arm to
secure the CPU. Then install the CPU cooler.
Note: Ensure that the CPU cooler and the CPU top surface are in total contact to avoid
CPU overheating problem that would cause your system to hang or become
unstable.
2.1.2 Installing the Memory
To install memory modules, locate the memory slot on the board and perform
the following steps.
1. Press the ejector tab of the memory slot 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 into the slot until the ejector levers return
completely to closed position, holding the module in place when the
module touches the bottom of the slot.
To remove the module, press the ejector levers outwards to unseat the
module.

2.1.3 Installing Mini-PCIe & M.2 Cards
1. Locate the mini-PCIe or M.2 slot.
2. Align the key of the mini-PCIe card to the mini-PCIe interface, and insert
the card slantwise. (Insert M.2 cards in the same way.)
3. Push the mini-PCIe card down and fix it with the an M2 screw.
(Fix the M.2 network card with an M3 screw.)

2.2 Setting the Jumpers
Set up and configure your product by using jumpers to match the needs of
your applications. Contact your sales representative if you have doubts about
the best configuration for your use.
2.2.1 How to Set Jumpers
Jumpers consist of a set of short pins that can be covered with a small plastic
box (jumper cap) as illustrated below. Jumpers allow the closing of an
electrical circuit, so that current can flow to certain sections of the circuit
board. If a jumper has 3 pins, you can connect either pin 1 to pin 2 or pin 2 to
pin 3 by shorting.

When two pins of a jumper are encased in a jumper cap, this jumper is
closed, i.e. turned On.
When a jumper cap is removed from two jumper pins, this jumper is open,
i.e. turned Off.
