2. Preparing the Chassis
Open the chassis with two hands by putting some pressure on your thumbs to push the top cover reverse.
Remove top cover and unpack the accessories.
Note:
SMARTCASETM S511 chassit kit Rev.02 contains two different rear covers (“rear wall”)
K1056-B621: Supporting up to 3 x graphics and 1 x rear COM
K1056-B622: Supporting 4 x graphics (no rear COM support)
See chapter 8. for details
Rear Cover (K1056-B62x) with
integrated EMI gasket
Verify position of the additional
small square EMI Gasket (position
marker is located on chassis
bottom)

3. Inserting additional Modules (Memory / M.2 / …)
Attention: Do not touch any pins! Touch the memory at the outer edges only.
Do not stick a barcode onto any modules!
The following procedure is recommended in order to ensure secure electrical contact:
1. First, insert the lower memory angular
and pay attention to the notch!
2. Remove the memory again completely
from the DIMM socket!
3. Insert memory again
4. Press down the memory until it fits
5. Do not press in the middle of the memory,
but press down on the outer edges only
6. Install the upper memory (if available) in
the same way as the lower one
Note: D3714-R1 provides lower memory socket only!
M.2 Module Assembly (PCIe SSD / WLAN)
First, remove the M.2 mounting screws (for the M.2 Key M SSD and M.2 Key E WLAN/BT, the assembly nuts
and screws are pre-installed).
.
In order to use a different Key-M module size (2230 or 2242), the nut has to be removed first and installed
to the desired position.
Insert M.2 modules angular into the socket (while paying attention to the coding / notch).
Any modules have to be touched on the outer edges only.
Mandatory torque for the M.2 screw is 0.2Nm, and 0.3Nm for the Key-M nut.

Notes:
Recommended mounting
torque for heatsink screws:
0.6Nm (max. 0.8Nm)
Do not remove the insulating
foil of the backplate, otherwise
the motherboard may be
damaged due to possible short
circuit.
4. Heatsink Assembly
F5000-C022: Passive Cooler (up to 10W TDP) for SMARTCASE™S511 incl. Mounting Backplate:
F5000-C023: Extra Low Active Cooler (up to 25W TDP) for SMARTCASE™S511 incl. Mounting Backplate:
Heatsink Position on D3714 / D3724:
Big “cut area” located
towards LVDS connector

// 7 of 15 www.kontron.com
Important Heatsink Assembly Note
Due to space restrictions, some components (D3714 respectively D3724 bottom side) are located close to
the mounting backplate.
Assembly of the backplate has to be handled with care in order not to damage/remove any component.
Furthermore, the internal COM port connectors had to be located close to the processor heatsink.
When using the COM ports respectively connecting the cable, it may be recommended to install the COM
connector first before assembling the heatsink.
Note: COM1 = RS-232
COM2 = RS-232/-422/-485 (BIOS Setup options)

5. Motherboard Assembly
Note: Before assembling the motherboard into the chassis, it is recommended to install the optional
onboard components like heatsink, memory, M.2 modules, etc.
1. Slide in the motherboard carefully below the power button towards the front I/O
apertures (red marking)
2. Move the motherboard carefully down to the final position
Take care that the front EMI gaskets stay in the correct position.
Push down the mainboard carefully while
the four mounting holes fit onto the chassis nuts.
Assemble the four screws (M3x4.5).
Mandatory torque = 0.6Nm

6. Installing WLAN Antennas (optional)
Please check the color-coding of the antennas. On the chassis front side the antenna bays are marked black
respectively gray.
Please note that the plastic front bezel has to be removed first.
Push the antenna cables completely
through the opening in the housing and
pay attention to the antenna cable notch
(see red circles).
Carefully install the WLAN antennas. The
metal plate must not be bent.
Insert the black antenna cable in the hooks (see red circles), and then plug the black antenna cable to socket
#1 of the M.2 WLAN module. Plug the gray antenna cable to socket #2.

7. Installing COM Cable/Connector (optional)
COM cable F5000-K007
Remove carefully COM metal cover first (use of screwdriver recommended).
SMARTCASE™S511 provides the rear aperture for max. one COM port; the cable can be connected to
either COM1 or COM2 connector of the motherboard D3714-R1/-R2 or D3724-R1.
Note: COM1 = RS-232
COM2 = RS-232/-422/-485 (BIOS Setup options)
Install the Sub-D connector of the cable to the chassis rear cover (specific COM screws UNC4-40).
Mandatory torque = 0.6Nm
COM1 COM2
Cable Cable
Note: SMARTCASE S511 provides
rear COM port support for D3714-R1,
D3714-R2, and D3724-R1 only due to
limited space on rear wall!

8. Closing the Chassis
Slide the cover on top of the chassis
while pushing it forward.
Some pressure may be required.
Close the chassis rear wall using the screws (M2.5 x 6)
included in the SMARTCASE chassis kit.
Mandatory torque: 0.4Nm
Note:
D3714-V2, D3724-R2, and D3724-R3
require a different chassis rear wall
supporting 4 x graphics port!
Furthermore, the chassis top cover
“Rev. B” is required, as this has been
modified in order to avoid any
mechanical interference with the
upper left graphics port.
Chassis kit Rev. 02 contains both rear
walls and chassis top cover Rev. B.
Chassis rear wall (K1056-B622) with 4 x graphics
port.

9. Adding Stand / Rubber Feet
The chassis kit includes a desk stand for vertical use, and four rubber feet for horizontal use.
Assemble the two M2.5x6.0 screws (0.4Nm) for the desk stand (blue) or
the four screws M3x5 (0.4Nm) for the rubber feet (red).
“Vertical Use” = Recommended Operating Position
due to improved cooling performance

10. Adding Wall Mount Brackets (optional)
Kontron offers a “Wall Mount Kit” for SMARTCASETM S5xx-series:
P/N = S26361-F5000-X001 (Kit includes two mounting brackets and four M2.5 mounting screws)
4 x mounting holes
for wall mount
brackets.
Mandatory torque:
0.4Nm
