2.3 Installation step
Please consult the following step to install your computer:
1: Adjust all jumpers on the EMB-4850 per this manual
2: Install CPU
3: Install memory
4: Install Expand card (PC/104+ card)
5: Connect all of the signal line, cable, panel-control circuitry and power supply
6. Boot computer, Finish BIOS setup
Remind！Key components of this motherboard are Integrated circuit, and these components will
be easily damaged by electrostatic influence. So, before installing motherboard, you should
always follow the following precautions:
1. Disconnect your Computer from the power supply before handling it.
2. Hold side by the edges, don't touch any components or pins on the board
3. Use a grounded wrist strap while getting in touch with integrated circuit component (such as
CPU, RAM).
4. Place components on a grounded antistatic bag that came with the Single Board Computer,
when these components are separated from the system.
2.4 CPU & Cooling Fan Installation
Installing CPU complied following steps：
1: Twist the screws above the CPU socket with a screwdriver, and turn this pointer on screw
aimed at "Open" from the "Locked" position.
2: Hold the CPU by both sides, adjust the 1st pin (Marked as golden triangle) to be align with
the "missing" pin, then put the CPU in place. Check and adjust the CPU until it lays on the
Locked
Open

socket paralleled, then twist the pointer on screw aimed at "Locked" from the "Open" position.。
Notice：Ensure this motherboard support the CPU you choose, if the direction you inserted was
wrong, CPU may be damaged. After system boot, BIOS will examine CPU type and frequency
automatically, BIOS setting won’t allow you change the CPU frequency, in order to make
system work steadily, please set your CPU exterior frequency by its specification, and we don’t
suggest you over clock your CPU. At present most Intel ® CPU frequency multiplication have
been set when them leave factory, can not be changed.
Install CPU cooling fan complied steps following：
1. Fix the heat sink go with fan on motherboard, keep heat sink & CPU wafer tangent.
2. Connect fan cable with on-board CPUFAN socket.
Notice：
Before fixing, daub coolant on the surface of the heat sink connect CPU first to swell the
cooling function, check CPU work on or not regularity, to insure the CPU in good ventilate
situation.
2.5 Jumper settings
*Note：
Jumpers are located on the motherboard, they represent clear CMOS jumper JCC etc.
pin1 for all jumpers are located on the side with a thick white line refer to the motherboard’s
silkscreen , jumpers with three pins will be shown as 1-2 to represent pin1&pin2 connected and
2-3 to represent pin2&pin3 connected.
2.5.1 CMOS Clear (JCC)
This jumper is used to erase CMOS data and reset system BIOS information.
The procedure for clearing CMOS is:
1. Turn off the system.
2. Push clear CMOS button and wait for 4 second.
3. Turn on the system. The BIOS is now reset to its default setting
