EMX-PNV 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.

EMX-PNV 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 ATXPWR. 5. Turn on the power. 6.
User’s Manual SODIMM 2.2.1 Main Memory EMX-PNV provides 1x 204 SODIMM and supports up to DDR3 800MHz SDRAM. The total maximum memory size is 4GB. Make sure to unplug the power supply before adding or removing SODIMMs or other system components. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to both the board and the components. Locate the SODIMM socket on the board. Hold two edges of the SODIMM module carefully. Keep away of touching its connectors.
EMX-PNV 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. Mounting Notch Notch Key Ejector Tab 204-pin DDR3 SODIMM To remove the SODIMM modules, push the two ejector tabs on the slot outward simultaneously, and then pull out the SODIMM module.
User’s Manual 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.
