ECM-VX900 1. Getting Started 1.1 Safety Precautions Warning! Always completely disconnect the power cord from your chassis whenever you work with the hardware. Do not make connections while the power is on. Sensitive electronic components can be damaged by sudden power surges. Only experienced electronics personnel should open the PC chassis. Caution! Always ground yourself to remove any static charge before touching the CPU card. Modern electronic devices are very sensitive to static electric charges.

ECM-VX900 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 DIMM 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 ATXPWR. 5. Turn on the power. 6.
ECM-VX900 2.2.1 Main Memory ECM-VX900 provides one 204-pin SODIMM socket that supports up to 4GB DDR3 1333MHz SDRAM. SODIMM (Rear side) Make sure to unplug the power supply before adding or removing DIMMs or other system components. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to board and components.
ECM-VX900 Locate the SODIMM socket on the board. Carefully hold two edges of the SODIMM module. avoid touching its connectors. Align the notch key on the module with the rib on the slot. Firmly press the modules into the socket which automatically snaps into the mounting notch. Do not force the SODIMM module in with extra force as the SODIMM module only fits in one direction.
ECM-VX900 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.

ECM-VX900 3.1 Introduction The BIOS setup program allows users to modify the basic system configuration. In this following chapter will describe how to access the BIOS setup program and the configuration options that may be changed. 3.2 Starting Setup The AMI BIOS™ is immediately activated when you first power on the computer. The BIOS reads the system information contained in the CMOS and begins the process of checking out the system and configuring it.
