2.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation may result in
permanent damage to the product and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the PM-PV-D4251/N4551/D5251. Dry climates are especially susceptible to
ESD. It is therefore critical that whenever the PM-PV-D4251/N4551/D5251 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
PM-PV-D4251/N4551/D5251 User Manual
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 PM-PV-D4251/N4551/D5251,
place it on an antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging
the PM-PV-D4251/N4551/D5251.
Only handle the edges of the PCB: When handling the PCB, hold the PCB
by the edges.
2.2 Unpacking Precautions
When the PM-PV-D4251/N4551/D5251 is unpacked, please do the following:
Follow the anti-static precautions outlined in Section
Make sure the packing box is facing upwards so the
PM-PV-D4251/N4551/D5251 does not fall out of the box.
Make sure all the components shown in the unpacking section are present.

Step 3: Insert the SO-DIMM. Push the memory in at a 20º angle. (See
Step 4: Seat the SO-DIMM. Gently push downwards and the arms clip into place. (See
Figure 4-1)
4.5 CompactFlash® Card Installation
A CompactFlash® Type II (CF Type II) card slot is located on the solder side of the CPU
board. When appropriately formatted, a CF Type II card can serve as a bootable hard
drive in applications where installation space is limited. The CF Type II card occupies a
secondary IDE channel. Configuration options can be found through the BIOS
configuration utility.
To install a CF Type II card, follow the instructions below.
Step 1: Turn the CPU board over so that the CF Type II card socket is facing up.
Step 2: Gently push the CF Type II card into the socket until it clicks into place. (See

4.6 Jumper Settings
NOTE:
A jumper is a metal bridge that is used to
close an electrical circuit. It consists of two
metal pins and a small metal clip (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 PM-PV-D4251/N4551/D5251 is installed in the system, the jumpers must be
set in accordance with the desired configuration. There are three jumpers on the
PM-PV-D4251/N4551/D5251. These three jumpers are listed in the table below.

4.7 Chassis Installation
WARNING:
Airflow is critical to the cooling of the CPU and other onboard
components. The chassis in which the PM-PV-D4251/N4551/D5251
must have air vents to allow cool air to move into the system and hot air
to move out.
The PM-PV-D4251/N4551/D5251 must be installed in a chassis with ventilation holes on
the sides allowing air to flow through the heat sink surface. In a system with an individual
power supply unit, the power supply cooling fan can help generate airflow through the
board surface.
