Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components, including the WAFER-EHL2. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is therefore critical that whenever the WAFER-EHL2 or any other electrical component is handled, the following anti-static precautions are strictly adhered to.
This helps to prevent potential ESD damage. Turn all power to the WAFER-EHL2 off: When working with the WAFER-EHL2, make sure that it is disconnected from all power supplies and that no electricity is being fed into the system.
Allow screws to come in contact with the PCB circuit, connector pins, or its components. 4.3 M.2 Module Installation The WAFER-EHL2 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. Mode One:Using screw Step 1: Locate the M.2 module slot.
WAFER-EHL2 without the heat spreader secured to the board. When the WAFER-EHL2 is shipped, it is secured to a heat spreader with five retention screws. The heat spreader must have a direct contact with a heat dissipation surface to ensure stable operation.
WAFER-EHL2 SBC Figure 4-3 Heat Sink Retention Screws IEI also provides two thermal solutions for customers to choose. IEI has developed a highly efficient thermal solution for the 3.5" motherboard - IEI Heat Conduction Casing (IHCC). With its well-design structure, the IHCC can effectively improve heat transfer performance and cut time-to-market.
Figure 4-7: DRPC-W-EHL22-R10 with Extra Fan Cooling The WAFER-EHL2 is also well designed to fit into other chassis in the market. Each side of the heat spreader has several screw holes allowing the WAFER-EHL2 to be mounted into a chassis or a heat sink enclosure (please refer to Figure 1-3 for the detailed dimensions).
Figure 4-8: Motherboard Installation Example 4.5 Riser Card Installation The WAFER-EHL2 features a PCIe x4 (x2 signal) slot, which is a new design of the WAFER motherboard to expand functionality.
