4.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the
WAFER-945GSE may result in permanent damage to the
WAFER-945GSE and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the WAFER-945GSE. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is
therefore critical that whenever the WAFER-945GSE or any other electrical component is
handled, the following anti-static precautions are strictly adhered to.
Wear an anti-static wristband: - Wearing a simple anti-static wristband can
WAFER-945GSE 3.5" Motherboard
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 WA FER-945GSE, place it on
an anti-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the
WAFER-945GSE.
Only handle the edges of the PCB:-: When handling the PCB, hold the PCB
by the edges.
4.2 Installation Considerations
NOTE:
The following installation notices and installation considerations should
be read and understood before installation. All installation notices must
Page 40
be strictly adhered to. Failing to adhere to these precautions may lead
to severe damage and injury to the person performing the installation.
Page 55
WAFER-945GSE 3.5" Motherboard
WARNING:
The installation instructions described in this manual should be
carefully followed in order to prevent damage to the components and
injury to the user.
Before and during the installation please DO the following:
Read the user manual:
o The u ser manual p rovides a complete d escription of t he WAFER-945GSE
installation instructions and configuration options.
Wear an electrostatic discharge cuff (ESD):
o Electro nic components are easily damaged by ESD. Wearing an ESD cuff
removes ESD from the body and helps prevent ESD damage.
Place the WAFER-945GSE on an antistatic pad:
o Whe n installing or configuring the motherboard, place it on an antistatic
pad. This helps to prevent potential ESD damage.
Turn all power to the WAFER-945GSE off:
o Whe n working with the WAFER-945GSE, make sure that it is
disconnected from all power supplies and that no electricity is being fed
into the system.
Before and during the installation of the WAFER-945GSE DO NOT:
Remove any of the stickers on the PCB board. These stickers are required for
warranty validation.
Use the product before verifying all the cables and power connectors are
properly connected.
Allow screws to come in contact with the PCB circuit, connector pins, or its
components.

4.3 SO-DIMM and CF Card Installation
4.3.1 SO-DIMM Installation
WARNING:
Using incorrectly specified SO-DIMM may cause permanent damage to
the WAFER-945GSE. Please make sure the purchased SO-DIMM
complies with the memory specifications of the WAFER-945GSE.
SO-DIMM specifications compliant with the WAFER-945GSE are listed
in Chapter 1.
To install a SO-DIMM into a SO-DIMM socket, please follow the steps below and refer to
Figure 4-1.
Page 42
Figure 4-1: SO-DIMM Installation
Step 1: Locate the SO-DIMM socket. Place the WAFER-9 45GSE on an anti-static pad.
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

4.4 Jumper Settings
NOTE:
A jumper is a metal bridge used to close
an electrical circuit. It consists of two or
three 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.
WAFER-945GSE 3.5" Motherboard
The hardware jumpers must be set before installation. Jumpers are shown in Table 4-1.
