This chapter provides you with the information about hardware setup
procedures. While doing the installation, be careful in holding the com-
ponents and follow the installation procedures. For some components, if
you install in the wrong orientation, the components will not work prop-
erly.
Use a grounded wrist strap before handling computer components. Static
electricity may damage the components.

COM Express Compact Module
Memory
The SO-DIMM slot is intended for memory modules.
1. Locate the SO-DIMM slot. Align
the notch on the DIMM with the
key on the slot and insert the
DIMM into the slot.
2. Push the DIMM gently
downwards until the slot levers
click and lock the DIMM in
place.
3. To uninstall the DIMM, flip the slot levers outwards and the DIMM will be
released instantly.
Important
You can barely see the golden finger if the DIMM is properly inserted in the
DIMM slot.

Hardware Setup
Connector
Fan Power Connector: CPUFAN1
The fan power connectors support system cooling fan with +12V. When connecting
the wire to the connectors, always note that the red wire is the positive and should
be connected to the +12V; the black wire is Ground and should be connected to
GND. If the motherboard has a System Hardware Monitor chipset onboard, you
must use a specially designed fan with speed sensor to take advantage of the
CPU fan control.
Important
Please refer to the recommended CPU fans at processor’s o󰘲cial website or
consult the vendors for proper CPU cooling fan.
