This chapter describes how to set the jumpers on the motherboard. Note
that the following procedures are generic for all NDiS OPS-M50 series.
Before You Begin
▪ Ensure you have a stable, clean working environment. Dust and dirt can
get into components and cause a malfunction. Use containers to keep
small components separated.
▪ Adequate lighting and proper tools can prevent you from accidentally
damaging the internal components. Most of the procedures that follow
require only a few simple tools, including the following:
- A Philips screwdriver
- A flat-tipped screwdriver
- A set of jewelers Screwdrivers
- A grounding strap
- An anti-static pad
▪ Using your fingers can disconnect most of the connections. It is
recommended that you do not use needle-nosed pliers to disconnect
connections as these can damage the soft metal or plastic parts of the
connectors.
▪ Before working on internal components, make sure that the poweris off.
Ground yourself before touching any internal components, by touching
a metal object. Static electricity can damage many of the electronic
components. Humid environment tend to have less static electricity
▪ than dry environments. A grounding strap is warranted whenever
Computer components and electronic circuit boards can be damaged by
discharges of static electricity. Working on the computers that are still
connected to a power supply can be extremely dangerous.
Follow the guidelines below to avoid damage to your computer or yourself:
▪ Always disconnect the unit from the power outlet whenever you are
working inside the case.
▪ If possible, wear a grounded wrist strap when you are working inside
the computer case. Alternatively, discharge any static electricity by
touching the bare metal chassis of the unit case, or the bare metal body
of any other grounded appliance.
▪ Hold electronic circuit boards by the edges only. Do not touch the
components on the board unless it is necessary to do so. Don’t flex or
stress the circuit board.
▪ Leave all components inside the static-proof packaging that they
shipped with until they are ready for installation.
▪ Use correct screws and do not over tighten screws.
A jumper is the simplest kind of electric switch. It consists of two metal
pins and a cap. When setting the jumpers, ensure that the jumper caps are
placed on the correct pins. When the jumper cap is placed on both pins,
the jumper is short. If you remove the jumper cap, or place the jumper
cap on just one pin, the jumper is open.
Refer to the illustrations below for examples of what the 2-pin and 3-pin
jumpers look like when they are short (on) and open (off).
The figure on the right is the NDiB OPS-M50 motherboard which is the motherboard used in the NDiS OPS-M50 system. It shows the locations of the jumpers and
connectors.
2. Push the ejector tabs which are at the ends of the socket outward. This
indicates that the socket is unlocked.
Ejector
Tab
3. Note how the module is keyed to the socket. Grasping the module by
its edges, align the module with the socket so that the “notch” on the
module is aligned with the “key” on the socket. The key ensures the
module can be plugged into the socket in only one direction.
4. Insert the module into the socket at an approximately 30 degrees angle.
Apply firm even pressure to each end of the module until it slips down
into the socket. The contact fingers on the edge of the module will
almost completely disappear inside the socket.
The ejector tabs at the ends of the socket will automatically snap into
the locked position to hold the module in place.
5. Align the mounting holes of the heat sink with the mounting studs on
the board then use the provided mounting screws to secure the heat
sink in place.
3. Locate for the SATA connector and the SATA power connector on the
SATA Half Slim Storage device. Slide the SATA Half Slim Storage device
onto the SATA connector.
SATA Data Connector
SATA Power Connector
4. Use the provided screws to secure the SATA Half Slim Storage device in
place.
5. Insert the wireless LAN module into the Mini PCI Express slot at a 45
degrees angle until the gold-plated connector on the edge of the
module completely disappears inside the slot.
6. Push the module down then secure it with mounting screws and attach
one end of the RF cable onto the WiFi module.
7. Align the screw holes of the cover with the screw holes on the bottom
plate then use the provided mounting screws to secure the cover in
place.
8. Align the mounting holes of the heat sink with the mounting studs on
the board then use the provided mounting screws to secure the heat
sink and top cover in place. Now connect an external antenna to the
WiFi antenna jack.
2. Insert the 2 rings (ring 1 then ring 2) into the WiFi antenna jack.3. Now mount the WiFi antenna jack to the WiFi antenna hole located at
the rear panel of the chassis then tighten the rings.
7. Align the screw holes of the cover with the screw holes on the bottom
plate then use the provided mounting screws to secure the cover in
place.
8. Align the mounting holes of the heat sink with the mounting studs on
the board then use the provided mounting screws to secure the heat
sink and top cover in place. Now connect an external antenna to the
WiFi antenna jack.

About BIOS Setup
The BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) Setup program is a menu driv en
utility that enables you to make changes to the system configuration and
tailor your system to suit your individual work needs. It is a ROM-based
configuration utility that displays the system’s configuration status and
provides you with a tool to set system parameters.
These parameters are stored in non-volatile battery-backed-up CMOS RAM
that saves this information even when the power is turned off. When the
system is turned back on, the system is configured with the values found
in CMOS.
With easy-to-use pull down menus, you can configure such items as:
▪ Hard drives, diskette drives, and peripherals.
▪ Video display type and display options.
▪ Password protection from unauthorized use.
▪ Power management features.
The settings made in the setup program intimately affect how the computer performs. It is important, therefore, first to try to understand all the
Setup options, and second, to make settings appropriate for the way you
use the computer.
When to Configure the BIOS
This program should be executed under the following conditions:
▪ When changing the system configuration.
▪ When a configuration error is detected by the system and you are
▪ prompted to make changes to the Setup program
▪ When resetting the system clock.
▪ When redefining the communication ports to prevent any conflicts.
▪ When making changes to the Power Management configuration.
▪ When changing the password or making other changes to the security
setup.
Normally, CMOS setup is needed when the system hardware is not consistent with the information contained in the CMOS RAM, whenever the
CMOS RAM has lost power, or the system features need to be changed.
Most of the configuration settings are either predefined according to
the Load Optimal Defaults settings which are stored in the BIOS or are
automatically detected and configured without requiring any actions.
There are a few settings that you may need to change depending on your
system configuration.
Entering Setup
When the system is powered on, the BIOS will enter the Power-On Self Test
(POST) routines. These routines perform various diagnostic checks; if an error
is encountered, the error will be reported in one of two different ways:
If the error occurs before the display device is initialized, a series of beeps
will be transmitted.
If the error occurs after the display device is initialized, the screen will
display the error message.
Powering on the computer and immediately pressing <Del> allows you to
enter Setup. Another way to enter Setup is to power on the computer and
wait for the following message during the POST:

NDiS OPS-M50 features a watchdog timer that resets the CPU or
generates an interrupt if the processor stops operating for any reason. This
feature ensures system reliability in industrial standalone or unmanned
environments.
