Installing Optional Components IMPORTANT! Install the optional components such as the I/O plate before installing the motherboard. I/O Plate You may need to change the I/O plate on the chassis back panel if the I/O connectors on your motherboard do not match the existing plate. Change the I/O plate before installing the motherboard.
Installing an IR-USB Module 1. Attach the L-type fastening bracket to the IR-USB module. 2. Install the IR-USB module to the USB slot on the front of the chassis. 3. Secure the IR-USB module with a screw.

Remove the riser card holder by lifting it up and unhooking it from the back panel frame. 2. Place the motherboard into the chassis as shown, and making sure that the I/O connectors fit the holes on the I/O plate. 3. Secure the motherboard with four screws on the areas indicated by circles.
Closing the Chassis 1. Replace the disk drive frame into the chassis as shown. 2. Check the drive frame tab on the front and make sure it fits in place. 3. Re-install the riser card holder by inserting the hooks (indicated by circles) into the holes on top of the slot frame. 4. Push down the riser card holder to secure the riser card in place.
Closing the Chassis 5. Remove the CD-ROM drive cover. 6. Replace the front panel by inserting the two tabs underneath the panel into their corresponding holes on the bottom of the chassis.

This chapter tells how to install optional components and perform optional assembly procedures in the Genie Book Size PC System.
Changing the I/O Plate 1. Detach the I/O plate from the chassis by sliding it to the right. (CAUTION: Be careful when removing the I/O plate. The tabs that secure it are tight.) After removing the existing I/O plate, the back panel exposes an opening for the new I/O plate to fit your motherboard I/O connectors. 2. Install a new I/O plate by fitting it to the I/O opening and sliding it to the left until it completely fits in place. 3.
Installing a PCI Expansion Card 1. Lift the card locking tab to access the PCI expansion slot. 2. Remove the expansion slot metal cover by sliding it to the right. 3. Install the riser card to the connector on the motherboard. 4. Insert the golden fingers of the PCI expansion card into the riser card slot and push in firmly to seat the card.
Installing a PCI Expansion Card 5. For card stability, make sure that the card bracket end goes into the cleft on the slot frame. 6. Make sure that the notched end of the card bracket fits the protruding tabs on the slot frame. 7. Push down the card locking tab to secure the expansion card in place.
This chapter describes the different system placement options to allow you to maximize your working area and afford you more convenience.
Horizontal Placement Normally, you place the Genie Book PC system flat (horizontal) on the desk. The chassis comes with four rubber feet that prevent direct contact with the surface.
Ver tical Placement You may also place the chassis in a vertical position to save space. If you desire to position the system this way, you need to purchase an optional pair of foot stands and a plastic panel cover for the bottom of the system chassis. Follow these steps to place the system in a vertical position. 1) Remove the four pieces of rubber feet on the bottom of the system chassis. 2) Attach the plastic panel cover to the bottom of the chassis.
