This User’s Manual is intended for experienced users and integrators with
hardware knowledge of personal computers. If you are not sure about any
description in this User’s Manual, please consult your vendor before further
handling.

1.3 Warning

Single Board Computers and their components contain very delicate
Integrated Circuits (IC). To protect the Single Board Computer and its
components against damage from static electricity, you should always follow
the following precautions when handling it :

Disconnect your Single Board Computer from the power source when you
want to work on the inside.
Hold the board by the edges and try not to touch the IC chips, leads or
circuitry.
Use a grounded wrist strap when handling computer components.
Place components on a grounded antistatic pad or on the bag that came
with the Single Board Computer, whenever components are separated
from the system.

Introduction

1.11 Installing the CPU

The processor socket comes with a screw to secure the CPU. As showing in

the picture as bellow, loose the screw rst before inserting the CPU.

Place the CPU into the socket by making sure the notch on the corner of the
CPU corresponding with the notch on the inside of the socket. Once the CPU
has slide into the socket, lock the screw.

Make sure that heat sink of the CPU top surface is in complete contact to
avoid the CPU overheating problem.

If not, it would cause your system or CPU to be hanged, unstable, damaged.

Introduction

1.12 Installing the Memory

To install the Memory module, locate the Memory SO-DIMM slot on the
board and perform as below:

1. Adjust the socket polarizing key and the board key to the same direction.

2. Insert the board obliquely. Moreover, lay the board in parallel to the
opening at angle of 20o to 30o, and softly insert the board so as to hit the
socket bottom. Stopping insertion halfway will result in improper insertion.

3. Applying the board side notch in parallel to the socket bottom so that
the board position cannot be displaced, press the board side notch up,

and x it to the latch portion at both socket edges. Press the board side

notch, and release the notch with a snap “click” tone, if the printed board
exceeds the latch claw head.

Procedures for board extraction

Apply the thumb nail to the latch knob at both socket edges. Forcibly widen
the latch knobs to right and left ways, and release the latch. Then draw the
board out along an angle where the board is raised.

Introduction

Put the heatsink on EmCORE-i9457, and screw it on in the direction of
the board. Insert four screws (No. 1) downward into the holes and turn
them tightly.
Verify the direction is correct (No. 2) and plug the FAN connector into
CPUF1 connector.

JRS2: COM2 RS-232/422/485 Mode Select (9)

The onboard COM2 port can be congured to operate in RS-422 or RS-485

modes. RS-422 modes differ in the way RX/TX is being handled. Jumper
JRS1 switches between RS-232 or RS-422/485 mode. When JRS1 is set
to RS-422 or RS-485 mode, there will be only +12V output let while JRS1 is
set. All RS-232/422/482 modes are available on COM2.

It can be congured COM2 to operate in RS-232, RS-422 or RS-485 mode

JBAT1: Clear CMOS Setup (19)

If the board refuses to boot due to inappropriate CMOS settings here is how
to proceed to clear (reset) the CMOS to its default values.

2-3 Clear CMOS

23 1

You may need to clear the CMOS if your system cannot boot up because
you forgot your password, the CPU clock setup is incorrect, or the CMOS
settings need to be reset to default values after the system BIOS has been
updated.
Refer to the following solutions to reset your CMOS setting:

Solution A:

1. Power off the system and disconnect the power cable.

2. Place a shunt to short pin 1 and pin 2 of JBAT1 for ve seconds.

3. Place the shunt back to pin 2 and pin 3 of JBAT1.

4. Power on the system.

Solution B:

If the CPU Clock setup is incorrect, you may not be able to boot up. In this
case, follow these instructions:

1. Turn the system off, then on again. The CPU will automatically boot up

using standard parameters.

2. As the system boots, enter BIOS and set up the CPU clock.

Note:

If you are unable to enter BIOS setup, turn the system on and off a few
times.
