Page 98: Anti-Static Precautions
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components, including the NANO-8522. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is therefore critical that whenever the NANO-8522, or any other electrical component is handled, the following anti-static precautions are strictly adhered to.
Page 99: Installation Notices
Before and during the installation of the NANO-8522 DO NOT do the following: DO NOT remove any of the stickers on the PCB board. These stickers are required for warranty validation.
Page 100 A CPU cooling kit is properly installed Compatible memory modules are properly inserted into the memory slots The NANO-8522 is installed into a chassis with adequate ventilation The correct power supply is being used The following devices (if applicable) are properly connected:...
Page 101: Cpu, Cpu Cooling Kit And Dimm Installation
Running a CPU without a cooling kit may also result in injury to the user. The CPU, CPU cooling kit and DIMM are the most critical components of the NANO-8522. If one of these component is not installed the NANO-8522 cannot run.
Page 102: Figure 5-1: Make Sure The Cpu Socket Retention Screw Is Unlocked
NANO-8522 EPIC Board Step 1: Unlock the CPU retention screw. When shipped, the retention screw of the CPU socket should be in the unlocked position. If it is not in the unlocked position, use a screwdriver to unlock the screw. See Figure 5-1.
