  • Page 63: Anti-Static Precautions

    Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components, including the NANO-QM871. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is therefore critical to strictly adhere to the following anti-static precautions whenever the NANO-QM871, or any other electrical component, is handled.
  • Page 64 NANO-QM871 EPIC SBC WARNING: The installation instructions described in this manual should be carefully followed in order to prevent damage to the NANO-QM871, NANO-QM871 components and injury to the user. Before and during the installation please DO the following: Read the user manual: The user manual provides a complete description of the installation instructions and configuration options.

  • Page 65: Cooling Kit Installation

    NANO-QM871 EPIC SBC 4.3 Cooling Kit Installation An IEI CPU cooling kit can be purchased separately (See Chapter 2). The cooling kit is comprised of a CPU heat sink and a cooling fan. WARNING: Do not wipe off (accidentally or otherwise) the pre-sprayed layer of thermal paste on the bottom of the heat sink.

  • Page 66: Figure 4-2: Align The Cooling Kit

    NANO-QM871 EPIC SBC Step 2: Properly orient the cooling kit. The CPU fan cable must not interfere with the fan or other moving parts. Make sure the cable can be routed away from the moving parts. Step 3: Properly align the cooling kit. Line up the four screws with the screw holes on the support bracket below the board (Figure 4-2).

  • Page 67: So-Dimm Installation

    NANO-QM871. Please make sure the purchased SO-DIMM complies with the memory specifications of the NANO-QM871. SO-DIMM specifications compliant with the NANO-QM871 are listed in Chapter 1. To install a SO-DIMM into a SO-DIMM socket, please follow the steps below and refer to Figure 4-4.

  • Page 68: Pcie Mini Card Installation

    Seat the SO-DIMM. Gently push downwards and the arms clip into place. (See Figure 4-4) 4.5 PCIe Mini Card Installation One PCIe Mini card slot is located on the NANO-QM871. To install the PCIe Mini card, please refer to the diagram and instructions below. Figure 4-5: PCIe Mini Card Installation...

  • Page 69: Jumper Settings

    OPEN a jumper means removing the plastic clip from a jumper. Before the NANO-QM871 is installed in the system, the jumpers must be set in accordance with the desired configuration. The jumpers on the NANO-QM871 are listed in Table 4-1.

  • Page 70: At/Atx Mode Selection

    Jumper Location: See Figure 4-6 Set the switch to select AT or ATX power mode for the NANO-QM871. AT power mode limits the system to on/off. ATX allows the system to use various power saving states and enter a standby state, so the system can be turned on remotely over a network. To configure, see the diagram below.

  • Page 73: Chassis Installation

    The chassis should have fans and vents as necessary to keep things cool. The NANO-QM871 must be installed in a chassis with ventilation holes on the sides allowing airflow to travel through the heat sink surface. In a system with an individual power supply unit, the cooling fan of a power supply can also help generate airflow through the board surface.

  • Page 74: Motherboard Installation

    This section outlines the installation of peripheral devices to the onboard connectors. 4.8.1 AT/ATX Power Connection Follow the instructions below to connect the NANO-QM871 to an AT or ATX power supply.
