2.5 System Setup

Please follow the steps outlined below to ensure the successful setup and operation of your
development kit system.
These steps should already be completed in the kit:
1. One (or more) DDR3 DIMMs in memory sockets, populating J4V1 and/or J4W1.
2. The processor in socket U7J2 is locked in place (make sure to align the chip to the pin
1 marking)
3. The (default) configuration jumpers are as shown in
4. RTC battery is populated in BT5G1.
5. The cable from the ATX power supply is inserted into J4J1.
6. The hard disk drive (HDD) is attached with the supplied cable SATA.
7. The optical driver (ODD) is a attached with the supplied SATA cable.
The following steps need to be completed by the user:
1. Connect either a PS/2 keyboard in J1A1 (bottom) or a USB keyboard in one of the
USB connectors.
2. Connect either a PS/2 mouse in J1A1 (top) or a USB mouse in one of the USB
connectors.
3. If using external graphics, plug a PCI graphics card in PCI-E x1 slot J6C2 or a PCI
Express Graphics card in the PCI-E x16 slot J5C1 and connect a monitor to the card
4. Connect an Ethernet cable (optional), one end of the cable to the motherboard, the
other end to a live Ethernet hub.
5. Connect the monitor to the VGA connector. Also take care to plug the monitor‟s power
cable into the wall.
6. Install the heatsink/fan for the processor at U7J2, and the fan-power cable must be
plugged into J4C1. Fan/heatsink installation is discussed in Appendix B Heatsink.
