vary depending on the actual situation and environment. It is highly suggested to execute a solid
testing and take all the variables into consideration when building the system. Please ensure that the
system runs well under the operating temperature in terms of application.

4.2. DDR3 SODIMM Memory Slot
The mainboard provides one 204-pin DDR3 SODIMM slot that supports non-
ECC DDR3 1600/1333/1066 SODIMM memory modules. The memory slot can
accommodate up to 8 GB of DDR3 1600/1333/1066 memory. The memory slot
is labeled as “SODIMM1”. The location of the DDR3 memory slot is shown
below.

: Installing memory thermal pad: Installing memory thermal pad
The memory thermal pad is used for transferring the heat dissipation of
memory to the thermal plate or bottom plate to attain memory cooling, and
to ensure the operating temperature of the memory module should not
exceed to 85°C. This helps to prevent damage of the memory module. The
memory thermal pad to be used is requires a certain thickness in order to
make contact with the memory thermal plate or bottom plate to excellently
disperse the heat.
Important:
Important:
Important:Important:
1. The customer/user should consider using the memory thermal pad and adding memory thermal
plate or bottom plate on their chassis design.
2. The memory thermal plate/bottom plate material to be used should have an excellent thermal
conductivity. Avoid using plastic or rubber materials.
3. The thickness of memory thermal pad should be based on customer’s design. However, the
minimum value of thermal conductivity K (W/m.k) is 1.5 and the maximum of hardness is 5
(Shore A).

The EPIA-P910 can be fitted into any chassis that has the mounting holes
compatible with the standard Pico-ITX mounting hole locations. Additionally,
the chassis must meet the minimum height requirements for specified areas of

should have a buffer of 1.00 mm. The side on the opposite end of the I/O
coastline should have a buffer of at least 5.00 mm. The two sides adjacent to
the I/O coastline should have at least a 10.00 mm buffer.
