EBM-CX700 Series 2.2 Installation Procedure This chapter explains you the instructions of how to setup your system. 1. Turn off the power supply. 2. Insert the SODIMM module (be careful with the orientation). 3. Insert all external cables for hard disk, floppy, keyboard, mouse, USB etc. except for flat panel. A CRT monitor must be connected in order to change CMOS settings to support flat panel. 4. Connect power supply to the board via the PW1. 5. Turn on the power. 6.
User’s Manual • Locate the SODIMM socket on the board. • Hold two edges of the SODIMM module carefully. Keep away of touching its connectors. • Align the notch key on the module with the rib on the slot. • Firmly press the modules into the socket automatically snaps into the mounting notch. Do not force the SODIMM module in with extra force as the SODIMM module only fit in one direction.
EBM-CX700 Series 2.3 Jumper and Connector List You can configure your board to match the needs of your application by setting jumpers. A jumper is the simplest kind of electric switch. It consists of two metal pins and a small metal clip (often protected by a plastic cover) that slides over the pins to connect them. To “close” a jumper you connect the pins with the clip. To “open” a jumper you remove the clip. Sometimes a jumper will have three pins, labeled 1, 2, and 3.
