Hardware Assembly Guide This section details the steps to installing various hardware onto your system, including 2.5” SSD, RAM modules, external COM and USB ports, and PCI Express card. Read instructions carefully before assembly and ensure that you have the required parts before proceeding.
2.6.1 Opening the System Hardware installation for the GENESYS-CML5 requires accessing both the top and bottom panels of the system. However, some steps only require accessing one side at a time. AAEON recommends reattaching the top or bottom panel when not accessing that side of the system or board;...
Page 48
Step 3: Remove the two screws from the bottom panel (with rectangular opening) of the system. Chapter 2 – Hardware Information...
Page 49
Step 4: Slide the panel towards the rear (I/O side) of the system and lift off. Before continuing, take a moment to familiarize yourself with the location of ports and connectors that will be used in the assembly process. USB2.0 Headers Top Side RAM Slot COM Headers 2.5”...
2.6.2 RAM Module Installation Step 1: Install the memory RAM module into the top side slot. Insert at an angle (~30° from vertical) and then gently push towards vertical until it is secured in place (you will hear a click). Step 2: For the bottom RAM module, remove the I/O bracket.
2.6.3 2.5” SATA Drive Installation Step 1: Before beginning, note the location and orientation of the SATA drive cage, and how it is slotted into the bottom chassis. You will need to reinstall the assembly in this configuration. Step 2: Remove both screws from the top and bottom of the drive cage and remove it from the system.
Page 52
Step 4: Insert the SATA drive into the drive cage and secure with four screws along the side of the drive/cage. Make sure the cables are to the side where the arrow is pointing. Step 5: Attach the SATA Power and SATA cables to the board (on the top/cooler side). Step 6: Slide the assembly into place and secure with the screws removed in Step 9.
2.6.4 External COM Port Installation Step 1: Remove the COM Port punchouts by hand or with a tool. Step 2: Note the location of the COM1 and COM2 port headers on the top side of the board. COM Port 2 (CN1) COM Port 1 (CN2) Step 3: Attach and secure the COM DB9 connectors to the rear I/O panel.
Page 54
Step 4: Connect the COM1 and COM2 cables to the port headers. Note that the connectors are reversed from the rear I/O locations, so the cables will cross as shown. Chapter 2 – Hardware Information...
2.6.5 External USB2.0 Port Installation Step 1: Remove the USB2.0 Port punchouts by hand or with a tool. Step 2: Attach the USB2.0 Port connectors to the front panel with four screws. Note the orientation of the tab. (While the orientation is not as important, AAEON suggests using this direction).
2.6.6 PCI Express (PCIe [x4]) Card Installation (Optional) Step 1: To install a PCI Express (PCIe) [x4] card, you will first need to remove the side I/O bracket. If you are installing all of the hardware at once, you should have removed this in Step 6 for RAM Installation.
Page 57
Step 3: Next, slide the expansion card into the I/O bracket by sliding the rear bracket into the I/O bracket. Then, secure with a single screw. Step 4: Place the card into the system, aligning with the PCIe [x4] riser slot. Then, push the card gently into the slot until it is secure.
2.6.7 Install Wall Mount Brackets For this task, you need two wall mount brackets and four steel screws included in the wall mount kit. Line up the brackets with the four open holes on the bottom panel of the system as shown, then secure brackets with the four screws.
2.6.8 VESA Mounting Kit For this task, you need the VESA bracket and two steel screws included in the VESA mount kit. Insert screws into the two empty holes on the bottom panel of the system as shown. The system can now be attached to the VESA bracket. Note: This image is for illustrative purposes.
2.6.9 Applying the Rubber Feet The system also comes with four adhesive rubber feet for deploying the system on a desktop or similar surface. The bottom panel has four etched circles showing where to place the feet. Simply remove each foot from their backing and place onto each of the circles as shown. Chapter 2 –...
System Test and Initialization The GENE-CML5 board uses certain routines to perform testing and initialization during the boot up sequence. If an error, fatal or non-fatal, is encountered, the module will output a few short beeps or display an error message. The module can usually continue the boot up sequence with non-fatal errors.
AMI BIOS Setup The AMI BIOS ROM has a pre-installed Setup program that allows users to modify basic system configurations, which is stored in the battery-backed CMOS RAM and BIOS NVRAM so that the information is retained when the power is turned off. To enter BIOS Setup, press <Del>...
