1. The FES 8914 does not come equipped with an operating system. An operating system must
be loaded first before installing any software into the computer .
2. Be sure to ground yourself to prevent static charge when installing the internal components.
Use a grounding wrist strap and place all electronic components in any static- shielded devices.
Most electronic components are sensitive to static electrical charge.
3. Disconnect the power cord from the FES 8914 before any installation. Be sure both the system and external devices are turned OFF . A sudden surge of power could ruin sensitive components that the FES 8914 must be properly grounded.
4. The brightness of the flat panel display will be getting weaker as a result of frequent usage.
However, the operating period varies depending on the application environment.
5. Turn OFF the system power before cleaning. Clean the system using a cloth only. Do not spray
any liquid cleaner directly onto the screen. The FES 8914 may come with or w/o a touch screen.
Although the touch screen is chemical resistant, it is recommended that you spray the liquid
cleaner on a cloth first before wiping the screen. In case your system comes without the touch
screen, you must follow the same procedure and not spray any cleaner on the flat panel directly .
6. A void using sharp objects to operate the touch screen. Scratches on the touch screen may
cause malfunction or internal failure to the touch screen.
7. The flat panel display is not susceptible to shock or vibration. When assembling the FES
8914, make sure it is securely installed.
8. Do not open the system's back cover. If opening the cover for maintenance is a must, only a
trained technician is allowed to do so. Integrated circuits on computer boards are sensitive to
static electricity . To avoid damaging chips from electrost atic discharge, observe the following
precautions:
Before handling a board or integrated circuit, touch an unpainted portion of the system unit
chassis for a few seconds. This will help to discharge any static electricity on your body .When
handling boards and components, wear a wrist- grounding strap, available from most electronic
component stores.

The FES8914 are convenient for your various hardware configurations, such as CPU (Central
Processing Unit), Memory Module, HDD (Hard Disk Drive) and PCIe card. The chapter 2 will
show you how to install the hardware. It includes:
2.1 HDD Installation
The Intel® Pentium® M Processor is available as a boxed processor for laptop computers in
the micro-FCPGA form factor. Intel recommends
the processor should be installed by a computer professional since this electronic device may
cause serious damage to the installer, system and processor if inst alled improperly.
Important Notes Before attempting to install a new processor, carefully review the documentation that came with your system and make sure that you will not be voiding your warranty by
opening the computer or replacing your processor.
Instructions:
1.Make sure that your system can accommodate the Intel® Pentium® M Processor that you
want to install. Check for motherboard, BIOS, and thermal compatibility by using the
manufacturer's documentation for the laptop computer , or by contacting the vendor if necessary.
This processor should only be installed in systems supporting the Intel® Pentium® M Processor.
Important Notes Do not use an Intel® Pentium® M Processor in a desktop system and do not
use a desktop processor in an Intel® Pentium® M Processor notebook. Since these processors have different electrical specifications, damage to the processor and system can occur .
2.Obtain access to your processor socket as described in the documentation for your system.
3.If the cooling solution prevents you from accessing the processor socket, you may need to
remove it. Instructions on how to remove your cooling solution should be provided in the documentation that came with the system.
4.To un-install the current processor, use a screwdriver to disengage (open) the socket actuator, as shown in Figure 1 below. (The most commonly used sockets are Molex* or FoxConn*
sockets, so they are used in the illustrations below .) The socket actuator should open af ter only
a half turn or so, and you should then be able to remove the processor with your fingers.
