Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components, including the HYPER-EHL. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is therefore critical that whenever the HYPER-EHL or any other electrical component is handled, the following anti-static precautions are strictly adhered to.
Allow screws to come in contact with the PCB circuit, connector pins, or its components. 4.3 M.2 Module Installation The HYPER-EHL provide two ways to install the M.2 expansion card. One is using screw, and the other is using the retainer. Please follow the steps below. Page 51...
HYPER-EHL Mode One: Using screw Step 1: Locate the M.2 module slot. See Chapter 3. Step 2: Remove the retention screw secured on the motherboard. Step 3: Line up the notch on the module with the notch on the slot. Slide the M.2 module into the socket at an angle of about 20º...
HYPER-EHL Mode Two: Using the Retainer Step 1: Press the retainer down as shown below. (See Figure 4-3) Figure 4-3: Press the Retainer Step 2: Line up the notch on the M.2 module with the notch on the slot. Slide the M.2 module into the socket at an angle of about 20º.
Step 1 to release the M.2 module. (See Figure 4-3) 4.4 Riser Card Installation The HYPER-EHL features a PCIe x4 (x4 signal) slot, which is a new design of the motherboard to expand functionality. By installing an IEI-developed riser card into the PCIe slot, the x4 signal is divided into x4 or x2+x2 or 1+x1+x1+x1 slots, offering great configuration flexibility and expandability.
HYPER-EHL 4.4.1 The inwards-facing riser card The inwards-facing riser card (P/N: HPR-R2S-R10, HPR-R4S-R10), although lower in height, is able to provide better spacing to ensure expansion cards to run at a low temperature. It is ideal for the chassis that is wide enough for the expansion card to be placed.
HYPER-EHL Figure 4-7: Inwards Riser Card Installation Example (P/N: HPR-R4S-R10) 4.4.2 The outwards-facing riser card The inwards-facing riser card (P/N: NWR-L2S- R10, NWR-L4S- R10) is designed with higher height to keep a decent space between the expansion cards and the motherboard.
