2.7.5 Lattice Semiconductor LC4064 V LPC Digital I/O Chipset
The KINO-9152G4 has a Lattice Semiconductor digital I/O chipset onboard that enables a
24-bit Digital I/O. The LC4064 V chipset consists of multiple 36-input, 16 macrocell
Generic Logic Blocks interconnected by a Global Routing Pool. Output Routing Pools
(ORPs) connect the GLBs to the I/O Blocks that contain multiple I/O cells.

2.8.2 Operating Temperature and Temperature Control
The maximum and minimum operating temperatures for the KINO-9152G4 are listed
below.
Minimum Operating Temperature: 0ºC (32°F)
Maximum Operating Temperature: 60°C (140°F)
A cooling fan and heat sink must be installed on the CPU. Thermal paste must be
smeared on the lower side of the heat sink before it is mounted on the CPU. Heat sinks
are also mounted on the Northbridge and Southbridge chipsets to ensure the operating
temperature of these chips remain low.

3.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING!
Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the
KINO-9152G4 may result in permanent damage to the KINO-9152G4
and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the KINO-9152G4. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is therefore
critical that whenever the KINO-9152G4, 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
help to prevent ESD from damaging the board.
Self-grounding:- Before handling the board touch any grounded co nducting
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 KINO-9152G4, place it on an
antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the
KINO-9152G4.
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 KINO-9152G4 is unpacked, please do the following:
Follow the anti-static precautions outlined in Section
Make sure the packing box is facing upwards so the KINO-9152G4 does not
3.1.
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
KINO-9152G4 may result in permanent damage to the KINO-9152G4
and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the KINO-9152G4. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is therefore
critical that whenever the KINO-9152G4, 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
KINO-9152G4 Mini-ITX Motherboard
help to prevent ESD from damaging the board.
Self-grounding: - Before handling the board touch any grounded co nducting
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 KINO-9152G4, place it on an
antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the
KINO-9152G4.
Only handle the edges of the PCB: - When handling the PCB, hold the PCB
by the edges.

5.2 Installation Considerations
NOTE:
The following installation notices and installation considerations should
be read and understood before the KINO-9152G4 is installed. All
installation notices pertaining to the installation of the KINO-9152G4
should be strictly adhered to. Failing to adhere to these precautions
may lead to severe damage of the KINO-9152G4 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 KINO-9152G4,
KINO-9152G4 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 KINO-9152G4
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 KINO-9152G4 on an antistatic pad:
o When installing or configuring the motherboard, place it on an antistatic
pad. This helps to prevent potential ESD damage.
Turn all power to the KINO-9152G4 off:
o When working with the KINO-9152G4, make sure that it is discon nected
from all power supplies and that no electricity is being fed into the system.
Page 77
DO NOT do the following before or during the installation of the KINO-9152G4:
DO NOT remove any of the stickers on the PCB board. These stickers are
required for warranty validation.
DO NOT use the product before verifying all the cables and power con nectors
are properly connected.
DO NOT allow screws to come in contact with the PCB circuit, connector pins,
or its components.

5.3 CPU, CPU Cooling Kit and DIMM Installation
WARNING:
A CPU should never be turned on without the specified cooling kit
being installed. If the cooling kit (heat sink and fan) is not properly
installed and the system turned on, permanent damage to the CPU,
KINO-9152G4 and other electronic components attached to the system
may be incurred. 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
KINO-9152G4. If one of these component is not installed the KINO-9152G4 cannot run.
5.3.1 Socket M CPU Installation
WARNING:
CPUs are expensive and sensitive components. When installing the
CPU please be careful not to damage it in anyway. Make sure the CPU
is installed properly and ensure the correct cooling kit is properly
installed.
To install a socket M CPU onto the KINO-9152G4, follow the steps below:
WARNING:
When handling the CPU, only hold it on the sides. DO NOT touch the
pins at the bottom of the CPU.
Page 79
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
KINO-9152G4 Mini-ITX Motherboard
position, use a screwdriver to unlock the screw. See
Figure 5-1: Make sure the CPU socket retention screw is unlocked
Figure 5-1.
Step 2: Inspect the CPU socket. Make sure there a re no bent pins and make sure the
socket contacts are free of foreign material. If any debris is found, remove it with
compressed air.
Step 3: Correctly Orientate the CPU. Make sure the IHS (integrated heat sink) side is
facing upwards.
Step 4: Correctly position the CPU. Match the Pin 1 mark with the cut edge on the
CPU socket. See
Step 5: Align the CPU pins. Carefully align the CPU pins with the holes in the CPU
socket.
Step 6: Insert the CPU. Gently insert the CPU into the socket. If the CPU pins are
properly aligned, the CPU should slide into the CPU socket smoothly.
