Introduction
1.11 Installing the CPU
The processor socket comes with a screw to secure the CPU. As showing in
the picture as bellow, loose the screw rst before inserting the CPU.
Place the CPU into the socket by making sure the notch on the corner of the
CPU corresponding with the notch on the inside of the socket. Once the CPU
has slide into the socket, lock the screw.
Make sure that heat sink of the CPU top surface is in complete contact to
avoid the CPU overheating problem.
If not, it would cause your system or CPU to be hanged, unstable, damaged.

Introduction
1.12 Installing the Memory
To install the Memory module, locate the Memory SO-DIMM slot on the
board and perform as below:
1. Adjust the socket polarizing key and the board key to the same direction.
2. Insert the board obliquely. Moreover, lay the board in parallel to the
opening at angle of 20oto 30o, and softly insert the board so as to hit the
socket bottom. Stopping insertion halfway will result in improper insertion.
3. Applying the board side notch in parallel to the socket bottom so that
the board position cannot be displaced, press the board side notch up,
and x it to the latch portion at both socket edges. Press the board side
notch, and release the notch with a snap “click” tone, if the printed board
exceeds the latch claw head.

Procedures for board extraction
Apply the thumb nail to the latch knob at both socket edges. Forcibly widen
the latch knobs to right and left ways, and release the latch. Then draw the
board out along an angle where the board is raised.

Introduction
Put the heatsink on EmCORE-i9457, and screw it on in the direction of
the board. Insert four screws (No. 1) downward into the holes and turn
them tightly.
Verify the direction is correct (No. 2) and plug the FAN connector into
CPUF1 connector.

JRS2: COM2 RS-232/422/485 Mode Select (9)
The onboard COM2 port can be congured to operate in RS-422 or RS-485
modes. RS-422 modes differ in the way RX/TX is being handled. Jumper
JRS1 switches between RS-232 or RS-422/485 mode. When JRS1 is set
to RS-422 or RS-485 mode, there will be only +12V output let while JRS1 is
set. All RS-232/422/482 modes are available on COM2.
It can be congured COM2 to operate in RS-232, RS-422 or RS-485 mode
