PCISA-MARK CPU Card
4.1 Anti-static Precautions
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the PCISA-MARK. (Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD.) It is
therefore critical that whenever the PCISA-MARK (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
NOTE:
The following installation notices and installation
considerations should be read and understood before the
CPU card is installed. All installation notices pertaining to the
installation of the CPU card should be strictly adhered to.
Failing to adhere to these precautions may lead to severe
damage of the CPU card and injury to the person installing the
CPU card.
4.2.1 Installation Notices
Before and during the installation of the PCISA-MARK CPU card, do the following:
Read the user manual
o The user manual provides a complete description of the PCISA-MARK
Page 90
CPU card, installation instructions, and configuration options.
Wear an electrostatic discharge cuff (ESD)
IEI® Technology, Corp.
Page 91
PCISA-MARK CPU Card
o Electronic components are easily damaged by ESD. Wearing an ESD cuff
removes ESD from the user’s body and helps to prevent ESD damage.
Place the CPU card on an antistatic pad
o When the CPU card is installed and configured, place it on an antistatic
pad. This helps to prevent potential ESD damage.
Turn off all power to the PCISA-MARK CPU card
o When working with the CPU card, 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 PCISA-MARK CPU card 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
PCISA-MARK is unpacked, do not proceed with the
installation. Contact the reseller or vendor the CPU card was
purchased from.
4.3.1 Unpacking Precautions
Some components on PCISA-MARK 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:
Page 91
Page 92
PCISA-MARK CPU Card
Users should ground themselves to remove any static charge before touching
the PCISA-MARK. 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 PCISA-MARK by its edges. Do not touch the IC chips, leads or
circuitry unnecessarily.
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 PCISA-MARK is unpacked make sure the package contains the following items.
1 x PCISA-MARK single board computer
1 x ATA66/100 HDD cable
2 x SATA cable
1 x SATA Power cable
1 x KB/MS Y cable
1 x RS232 cable
1 x Audio cable
1 x Mini jumper pack
1 x Utility CD
1 x QIG (quick installation guide)
If one or more of these items are missing, contact the reseller or vendor PCISA-MARK
was purchased from and do not proceed any further with the installation.

4.4 PCISA-MARK CPU Card Installation
WARNING!
Note that the installation instructions described in this manual
should be carefully followed in order to avoid damage to the
PCISA-MARK components and injury to the user.
WARNING!
When installing electronic components onto the PCISA-MARK
always take anti-static precautions in order to prevent ESD
damage to the PCISA-MARK and other electronic
components like the CPU and DIMM modules.
4.4.1 Preinstalled Component
The component listed below is preinstalled on the PCISA-MARK.
CPU
4.4.2 Components to Install

Page 93
Page 94
PCISA-MARK CPU Card
4.4.3 DIMM Module Installation
4.4.3.1 Purchasing the Memory Module
When purchasing DIMM modules, the following considerations should be taken into
account:
The DIMM module can support a 168-pin PC100/133 MHz SDRAM with a
maximum size of 512MB
The DIMM can be either single-sided or dual-sided.
4.4.3.2 DIMM Module Installation
The PCISA-MARK CPU card has one DDR SDRAM DIMM socket. To install a DIMM
module, follow the instructions below and refer to Figure 4-1.
Step 1: Make sure the two handles of the DIMM socket are in the "open" position,
leaning outward (Figure 4-1).
Figure 4-1: Installing the DIMM Module
Page 94
IEI® Technology, Corp.
Page 95
PCISA-MARK CPU Card
Step 2:
Step 3:
Slowly slide the DIMM module along the plastic guides on both ends of the
socket. Press the DIMM module down into the socket until it clicks into position
and the two handles have automatically locked the memory module into place.
To remove the memory module, push both handles outward, and the memory
module is ejected by the mechanism in the socket. Step 0:

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 connecting the pins of the jumper with the
plastic clip and to OPEN a jumper means removing the plastic
clip from a jumper.
