1.1 Introduction

Figure 1-1: NANO-AL

The NANO-AL is an EPIC form factor single bard computer. It has an on-board 14nm

Intel

Pentium®/Celeron®/Atom® SoC, and supports one 204-pin 1866/1600 MHz DDR3L

SDRAM SO-DIMM with up to 8 GB of memory.

The NANO-AL provides two GbE interfaces through the Intel controllers. In addition, the NANO-AL comes with two HDMI, one internal DisplayPort and one 18-bit/24-bit dual-channel LVDS connector for triple independent display.

Expansion and I/O include two USB 3.0 and two USB 2.0 on the rear panel, two USB 2.0 by pin header, two SATA 6Gb/s, four RS-232, two RS-232/422/485, one microSD card slot (optional), one SI M card slot (optional), one PCIe Mini card slot and one M.2 slot. High Definition Audio (HDA) support ensures HDA devices can be easily implemented on the NANO-AL.

2.1 Anti-static Precautions

WARNING!

Static electricity can destroy certain el ectronics. Ma ke 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 dis charge

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 NANO-AL is unpacked, please do the f ol lowing:

 Follow the anti-static 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:

permanent damage to the product and severe injury to the user.

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components, including the NANO-AL. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is therefore critical to strictly adhere to the following a nti-static prec autions when ever the NANO-AL, or any other electrical component, is handled.

 Wear an anti-static wristband: - Wearing a simple anti-static wristband ca n

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, f requently touch any conducting materials that are connected to the ground.

 Use an anti-static pad: When configuring the NANO-AL, place it on an

anti-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the NANO-AL.

 Only handle the edges of the PCB:-: When handling the PCB, hold it by the

edges.

4.2 Installation Considerations

NOTE:

The following installation notices and installation considerations should be read and understood before the NANO-AL installation notices pertaining to the installation of NANO-AL should be strictly adhered to. Failing to adhere to these precautions may lead to severe damage of the NANO-AL and injury to the person installing the motherboard.

NANO-AL EPIC SBC

WARNING:

The installation instructions described in this manual shou carefully followed in order to prevent damage to the NANO-AL, NANO-AL 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 installation

instructions and configuration options.

 Wear an electrostatic discharge cuff (ESD):

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

removes ESD from the body and helps prevent ESD damage.

 Place on an anti-static pad:

o When installing or configuring the motherboard, place it on an anti-static

pad. This helps to prevent potential ESD damage.

 Turn all power off:

o Make sure the product is disconnected from all power supplies and that

no electricity is being fed into the system.

Before and during the installation of the NANO-AL, DO NOT:

 Remove any of the stickers on the PCB board. T hese sti ckers are r equired f or

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.
