    2: Setup and Installation Safe Handling Recommendations To help prevent accidental damage to the mangOH Green: • Use safe ESD-handling practices (such as wearing proper ESD straps) to avoid possible ESD damage. • Avoid touching the CF3 module sockets (J200, J601). These pins can be damaged if they catch on clothing or other materials.

  • Page 11: Initial Setup

    Setup and Installation Initial Setup To begin using the mangOH Green, set up your hardware and software: 1. Insert a suitable CF3 module in the primary socket. See Insert/Remove Embedded Modules on page 12. Select Primary Power Supply. See page 16. 3.

  • Page 17: Connect Battery Backup

    Hardware Setup and Operation Connect Battery Backup Optionally, you can connect a rechargeable Li-Ion/Li-Polymer battery to the mangOH Green to provide uninterrupted power in the event that the primary power supply (DC or USB) fails. If a jumper is placed on CN1201, the mangOH Green recharges the battery and then provides a trickle charge to maintain the battery’s full charge.

  • Page 18: Rtc Capacitor

    mangOH Green (DV4) User Guide Caution: The board is designed to use a rechargeable Li-Ion or Li-polymer battery. Regular (non-rechargeable) batteries are NOT recommended. However, if a regular battery is used, DO NOT place a jumper on CN1203 as this will damage the battery and possibly the board. RTC Capacitor The mangOH Green provides a capacitor that maintains the RTC.
