2/ Installation Procedures
2.1. Installing the Board
ESD Sensitive Device
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage equipment and impair electrical circuitry.
To get the board running follow the steps listed below. If the board shipped by KONTRON already has components
such as a RAM and CPU cooler mounted, then skip the relevant step(s).
1.
Turn off the PSU (Power Supply Unit)
2.
Insert the memory module(s)
Be careful to push the memory module in the slot(s) before locking the tabs.
3.
Cooler Installation
The 3.5-SBC-APL comes with a pre-installed cooler.
4.
Connecting Interfaces
Insert all external cables for hard disk, keyboard etc. A monitor must be connected in order to change BIOS
settings.
5.
Connect and turn on PSU
Connect PSU to the board by the ATX+12 V 4-pin connector.
6.
BIOS Setup

•
Wear ESD-protective clothing and shoes
•
Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap attached to a good earth ground
•
Check the resistance value of the wrist strap periodically (OK: 1 MΩ to 10 MΩ)
•
Transport and store the board in an antistatic bag
•
Handle the board only at an approved ESD workstation
•
Handle the board only by the edges
Turn off PSU (Power Supply Unit) completely (no mains power connected to the PSU)
or leave the Power Connectors unconnected while configuring the board. Otherwise
components (RAM, LAN cards etc.) might get damaged. Make sure to use a standard ATX
PSU with a suitable cable kit and PS_ON# active.
To clear all BIOS settings, including Password protection, activate "Load Default BIOS
Settings" Clear CMOS Jumper for > 10 sec (without power connected).
When mounting the board to chassis etc. please note that the board contains
components on both sides of the PCB that can easily be damaged if board is handled
