4.1 Anti-static Precautions

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,

including the KINO-LX. (Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD.) It is therefore

critical that whenever the KINO-LX (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 wrist band 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.

4.2 Installation Considerations

KINO-LX Motherboard

NOTE:

The following installation notices and installation considerations should be

read and understood before the motherboard is installed. All installation

notices pertaining to the installation of the Motherboard should be strictly

adhered to. Failing to adhere to these precautions may lead to severe

damage of the motherboard and injury to the person installing the

motherboard.

4.2.1 Installation Notices

Before and during the installation of the KINO-LX motherboard, please do the following:

 Read the user manual

o The user manual provides a complete description of the KINO-LX

Page 74

motherboard, installation instructions and configuration options.

 Wear an electrostatic discharge cuff (ESD)

IEI® Technology, Corp.

KINO-LX Motherboard

o Electronic components are easily damaged by ESD. Wearing an ESD cuff

removes ESD from the user’s body and help to prevent ESD damage.

 Place the motherboard on an antistatic pad

o When the motherboard is installed and configured, place it on an

antistatic pad. This helps to prevent potential ESD damage.

 Turn off all power to the KINO-LX motherboard

o When working with the motherboard, 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-LX motherboard DO NOT:

 remove any of the stickers on the PCB board. These stickers are required for

warranty validation.

 use the product before 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 Unpacking

NOTE:

If any of the items listed below are missing when the KINO-LX is unpacked,

do not proceed with the installation and contact the reseller or vendor

motherboard was purchased from.

4.3.1 Unpacking Precautions

Some components on KINO-LX are very sensitive to static electricity and can be damaged

by a sudden rush of power. To protect it from being damaged during the unpacking

process, follow these precautions:

 Users should ground themselves to remove any static charge before touching

Page 75

Do not place a PCB on top of an anti-static bag. Only the inside of the bag is safe from

static discharge.

4.3.2 Checklist

When KINO-LX is unpacked please make sure the package contains the following items.

KINO-LX Motherboard

the KINO-LX. To ground themselves, users can wear a grounded wrist strap

at all times or frequently touching any conducting materials that is connected

to the ground.

 Handle the KINO-LX by its edges. Do not touch the IC chips, leads or circuitry

unnecessarily.

 1 x KINO-LX Single Board Computer

 1 x ATA66/100 Flat Cable

 2 x SATA Cable

 1 x SATA Power Cable

 1 x Dual RS-232 Cable

 1 x I/O Shielding

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

(often protected by a plastic cover) that

slides over the pins to connect them. To

CLOSE/SHORT a jumper means

KINO-LX Motherboard

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 KINO-LX is installed in the system, the jumpers must be set in accordance with

the desired configuration. The KINO-LX motherboard has six on-board jumpers.

Jumper Location:

This jumper allows the user to set the voltage for pin 9 on COM1 or COM2. Pin 9 is

traditionally a ring line but this jumper can set pin 9 to supply 5V or 12V power to a serial

device connected to COM1 or COM2. Make the necessary jumper setting in accordance

with the settings shown in Table 4-6.

The AT/ATX power connector is used to connect a chassis power On/Off button using an

adapter cable and is configured through the JP6 jumper. The AT/ATX power connector

has two operational modes:

1. Using ATX power: AT/ATX power connects to an externally implemented power

switch, and the JP6 jumper should be left open.

2. Using AT power: The pins on JP6 are shorted by a jumper cap. JP6 should be

shorted by default as the AMD Southbridge is designed without the consideration

for a power button signal. The shorted JP6 provides a hardware feedback to

initiate the system. The power on/off function is then managed by the AT power

switch button.

 Virus Warning [Disabled]

NOTE:

Many disk diagnostic programs can cause the above warning message to

appear when the program attempts to access the boot sector table. If you

are running such a program, it is recommended that the virus protection

function be disabled beforehand.

Use the Virus Warning option to enable BIOS to monitor the boot sector and partition

table of the HDD for any attempted modification. If a modification attempt is made, the

BIOS halts the system and an error message appears. If necessary, an anti-virus program

can then be run to locate and remove the virus before any damage is done.
