3.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the
WAFER-8522 may result in permanent damage to the WAFER-8522
and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the WAFER-8522. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is therefore
critical that whenever the WAFER-8522, or any other electrical component is handled, the
following anti-static precautions are strictly adhered to.
WAFER-8522 Motherboard
Wear an anti-static wristband: - Wearing a simple anti-static wristband can
help to prevent ESD from damaging the board.
Self-grounding:- Before handling the board touch any grounded conducting
material. During the time the board is handled, frequently touch any
conducting materials that are connected to the ground.
Use an anti-static pad: When configuring the WAFER-8522, place it on an
antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the
WAFER-8522.
Only handle the edges of the PCB:-: When handling the PCB, hold the PCB
by the edges.
3.2 Unpacking
3.2.1 Unpacking Precautions
When the WAFER-8522 is unpacked, please do the following:
Follow the anti-static precautions outlined in Section 3.1.
Page 30
Make sure the packing box is facing upwards so the WAFER-8522 does not
fall out of the box.
Make sure all the components shown in Section 3.3 are present.

5.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the
WAFER-8522 may result in permanent damage to the WAFER-8522
and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the WAFER-8522. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is therefore
critical that whenever the WAFER-8522, or any other electrical component is handled, the
following anti-static precautions are strictly adhered to.
WAFER-8522 Motherboard
Wear an anti-static wristband: - Wearing a simple anti-static wristband can
help to prevent ESD from damaging the board.
Self-grounding:- Before handling the board touch any grounded conducting
material. During the time the board is handled, frequently touch any
conducting materials that are connected to the ground.
Use an anti-static pad: When configuring the WAFER-8522, place it on an
antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the
WAFER-8522.
Only handle the edges of the PCB:-: When handling the PCB, hold the PCB
by the edges.

WAFER-8522 Motherboard
5.2 Installation Considerations
NOTE:
The following installation notices and installation considerations should be
read and understood before the WAFER-8522 is installed. All installation
notices pertaining to the installation of the WAFER-8522 should be strictly
adhered to. Failing to adhere to these precautions may lead to severe
damage of the WAFER-8522 and injury to the person installing the
motherboard.
5.2.1 Installation Notices
WARNING:
The installation instructions described in this manual should be carefully
followed in order to prevent damage to the WAFER-8522, WAFER-8522
components and injury to the user.
Before and during the installation please DO the following:
Read the user manual:
o The user manual provides a complete description of the WAFER-8522
installation instructions and configuration options.
Wear an electrostatic discharge cuff (ESD):
o Electronic components are easily damaged by ESD. Wearing an ESD cuff
removes ESD from the body and helps prevent ESD damage.
Place the WAFER-85 22 on an antistatic pad:
o When installing or configuring the motherboard, place it on an antistatic
pad. This helps to prevent potential ESD damage.

Chapter 2.
To install a SO-DIMM into a SO-DIMM socket, please follow the steps below and refer to
Figure 5-1.
Figure 5-1: SO-DIMM Installation
Step 1: Locate the SO-DIMM socket. Place the WAFER-8522 on an anti-st atic pad with
the solder side facing up.
Step 2: Align the SO-DIMM with the socket. The SO-DIMM must be oriented in such a
way that the notch in the middle of the SO-DIMM must be aligned with the
plastic bridge in the socket.
Step 3: Insert the SO-DIMM. Push the SO-DIMM chip into the socket at an angle. (See
Page 65
Page 80
Figure 5-1)
Step 4: Open the SO-DIMM socket arms. Gently pull the arms of the SO-DIMM socket
WAFER-8522 Motherboard
out and push the rear of the SO-DIMM down. (See
Step 5: Secure the SO-DIMM. Release the arms on the SO-DIMM socket. They clip into
place and secure the SO-DIMM in the socket.Step 0:
Figure 5-1)
5.3.2 CF Card Installation
NOTE:
The WAFER-8522 can support CF Type II cards. For the complete
specifications of the supported CF cards please refer to Chapter 2.
To install a CF Type II card onto the WAFER-8522, please follow the steps below:
Step 1: Locate the CF card socket. Place the WAFER-8522 on an anti-static pad and
locate the CF card.
Step 2: Align the CF card. Make sure the CF card is properly aligned with the CF
socket.
Step 3: Insert the CF card. Gently insert the CF card into the socket making sure the
socket pins are properly inserted into the socket. See
Figure 5-2. Step 0:

5.4 Jumper Settings
NOTE:
A jumper is a met al bridge t hat is used to
close an electrical circuit. It consists of
two metal pins and a small metal clip
(often protected by a plastic cover) that
slides over the pins to connect them.
To CLOSE/SHORT a jumper means
connecting the pins of the jumper with
the plastic clip and to OPEN a jumper
means removing the plastic clip from a
jumper.
Before the WAFER-8522 is installed in the system, the jumpers must be set in accordance
with the desired configuration. The jumpers on the WAFER-8522 are listed in

5.5 Chassis Installation
5.5.1 Airflow
WARNING:
Airflow is critical to the cooling of the CPU and other onboard
components. The chassis in which the WAFER-8522 must have air
vents to allow cool air to move into the system and hot air to move out.
The WAFER-8522 must be installed in a chassis with ventilation holes on the sides
allowing airflow to travel through the heat sink surface. In a system with an individual
power supply unit, the cooling fan of a power supply can also help generate airflow
WAFER-8522 Motherboard
through the board surface.
