Maintenance

MintBox 2 requires no maintenance. You should not take the MintBox 2 apart other than opening the service
door. Taking MintBox 2 apart will void its warranty.
The following operations can be conducted by the user:
Opening service door
1. Unscrew marked Philips screw at the bottom to release service-door.
2. Slide out service-door until it stops – about 10 mm.
3. Service-door is now detached. Lift edge of service-door to completely remove.
Re-assemble in reverse order. Hard disk connects by sliding-in the service-door.
Service bay
The service-bay provides easy access to hard-disk, RAM, and mini-PCIe sockets incl. WLAN module.
Hard disk is 2.5" 9.5mm SATA. It is screwed to service door by 4 screws, 2 on each side. It is recommended
to use 5400 RPM hard disk or SSD. 7200 RPM or higher is not recommended due to higher power
consumption and risk of overheating.
RAM – use DDR3-1333 SO-DIMM modules.
Mini-PCIe – the half-size mini-PCIe is normally used for WLAN. If you remove the WLAN module make sure
to isolate the ends of antenna cables with some tape to avoid short-circuit. The full-size mini PCIe is
available for any use.
