1.1 Introduction
Figure 1-1: WAFER-AL
The WAFER-AL series is a 3.5” single bard computer. It has an on-board 14nm Intel
Pentium
single-channel DDR3 Low Voltage (DDR3L) SDRAM SO-DIMM slot with up to 8.0 GB of
memory.
The WAFER-AL series includes one DP++ connector, one VGA connector and one
18-/24-bit LVDS connector for triple independent display. Two RJ-45 GbE connectors
provide the system with smooth connections to an external LAN.
Expansion and I/O include one PCIe Mini slot supporting mSATA modules, one PCIe Mini
slot with SIM card holder, two USB 3.0 connectors on the rear panel, four USB 2.0
connectors by pin header and two SATA 6Gb/s connectors. Serial device connectivity is
provided by two internal RS-232 connectors and two internal RS-232/422/485 connectors.

2.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING!
Static electricity can destroy certain elect ronics. Make sur e 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.

Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the
4.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
WAFER-AL may result in permanent damage to the WAFER-AL and
severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the WAFER-AL. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is therefore
critical that whenever the WAFER-AL 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 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 WAFER-AL, place it on an
anti-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the WAFER-AL.
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 instal l ation 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.
WAFER-AL SBC
Page 49
The installation instructions described in this manual should be carefully
WARNING:
followed in order to prevent damage to the WAFER-AL, WAFER-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 WAFER-AL
installation instructions and configuration opt i ons.
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 WAFER-AL on an antistatic pad:
o When installing or configuring the motherboa rd, place it on an antistatic
pad. This helps to prevent potential ESD damage.
Turn all power to t he WAFER-AL off:
o When working with the WAFER-AL, make sure that it is disconnected
from all power supplies and that no elect ricity is b eing f ed into the sy stem.
Before and during the installation of the WAFER-AL DO NOT:
Remove any of the stickers on the PCB board. These st ickers a re required 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 P CB circuit, connector pins, or its
components.
