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 these steps. If the board shipped from KONTRON already has components like RAM
and CPU cooler mounted, then skip the relevant steps below.
1.
Turn off the PSU (Power Supply Unit)
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 +12 V DC single
supply only. Alternatively, use a standard ATX PSU with suitable cable kit and PS-ON#
active.
2.
Insert the DDR4 2133 module(s)
Be careful to push the memory module in the slot(s) before locking the tabs. Use SO-DIMM with the same
memory density in both sockets!
3.
Connecting interfaces
Insert all external cables for hard disk, keyboard etc. A monitor must be connected in order to change BIOS
settings.
4.
Connect and turn on PSU
Connect PSU to the board by the +12 V 3.0mm pitch 1x4-pin wafer connector.
5.
BIOS setup
Enter the BIOS setup by pressing the <DEL> key during boot up.
Enter "Exit Menu" and Load Setup Defaults.
To clear all BIOS setting, including Password protection, activate "Clear CMOS Jumper"
for 10 sec (without power connected).
6.
Mounting the board in chassis
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
without reasonable care. A damaged component can result in malfunction or no
function at all.

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 (1 MΩ to 10 MΩ)
Transport and store the board in its antistatic bag
Handle the board at an approved ESD workstation
Handle the board only by the edges
