2.1 Unpacking Checklist
WARNING!
Static electricity can destroy certain electronics. Make sure to follow the
ESD precautions to prevent damage to the product, and injury to the
user.
Make sure to adhere to the following guidelines:
Wear an anti-static wristband: Wearing an anti-static wristband can prevent
electrostatic discharge.
Self-grounding: Touch a grounded conductor every few minutes to discharge
any excess static buildup.
Use an anti-static pad: When configuring any circuit board, place it on an
anti-static mat.
Only handle the edges of the PCB: Don't touch the surface of the
motherboard. Hold the motherboard by the edges when handling.
2.2 Unpacking Precautions
When the KINO-945GSE3 is unpacked, please do the following:
Follow the antistatic guidelines above.
Make sure the packing box is facing upwards when opening.
Make sure all the packing list items are present.

4.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the
KINO-945GSE3 may result in permanent damage to the
KINO-945GSE3 and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the KINO-945GSE3. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is
therefore critical that whenever the KINO-945GSE3 or any other electrical component is
handled, the following anti-static precautions are strictly adhered to.
Wear an anti-static wristband: Wearing a simple ant i-static wristband can
KINO-945GSE3 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 KINO-945GSE3, place it on an
antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the
KINO-945GSE3.
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
be strictly adhered to. Failing to adhere to these precautions may lead
to severe damage and injury to the person performing the installation.
Page 44
KINO-945GSE3 User Manual
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 user manual provides a complete description of the KINO-945GSE3
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-945GSE3 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-945GSE3 off:
o When working with the KINO-945GSE3, 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 KINO-945GSE3 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.
4.2.1 SO-DIMM Installation
To install an SO-DIMM, please follow the steps below and refer to Figure 4-1.
Page 45
Figure 4-1: SO-DIMM Installation
Step 1: Locate the SO-DIMM socket. Place the board on an anti-static mat.
Step 2: Align the SO-DIMM with the socket. Align the notch on the memory with the
notch on the memory socket.
KINO-945GSE3 User Manual
Step 3: Insert the SO-DIMM. Push the memory in at a 20º angle. (See

4.2.2 CompactFlash® Installation
NOTE:
Both CompactFlash® Type I and Type II cards are supported.
To install the CompactFlash® card, please follow the steps below.
Step 1: Locate the CF card socket. Locate the CompactFlash® slot.
Step 2: Align the CF card. Align the CompactFlash® card. The label side should be
facing away from the board. The grooves on the CompactFlash® slot ensure
that the card cannot be inserted the wrong way.
Step 3: Insert the CF card. Push until the CompactFlash® card is firmly seated in the
slot. See

4.3 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.
The hardware jumpers must be set before installation. Jumpers are shown in Table 4-1.
