NANO-QM871 EPIC SBC 4.1 Anti-static Precautions WARNING: Failure to take ESD precautions during installation may result in permanent damage to the product and severe injury to the user. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components, including the NANO-QM871. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is therefore critical to strictly adhere to the following anti-static precautions whenever the NANO-QM871, or any other electrical component, is handled.
PAGE 64
NANO-QM871 EPIC SBC WARNING: The installation instructions described in this manual should be carefully followed in order to prevent damage to the NANO-QM871, NANO-QM871 components and injury to the user. Before and during the installation please DO the following: Read the user manual: o The user manual provides a complete description of the installation instructions and configuration options. Wear an electrostatic discharge cuff (ESD): o Electronic components are easily damaged by ESD.
PAGE 65
NANO-QM871 EPIC SBC 4.3 Cooling Kit Installation An IEI CPU cooling kit can be purchased separately (See Chapter 2). The cooling kit is comprised of a CPU heat sink and a cooling fan. WARNING: Do not wipe off (accidentally or otherwise) the pre-sprayed layer of thermal paste on the bottom of the heat sink. The thermal paste between the CPU and the heat sink is important for optimum heat dissipation. To install the cooling kit, please follow the steps below. Step 1: Install the support bracket.
PAGE 66
NANO-QM871 EPIC SBC Step 2: Properly orient the cooling kit. The CPU fan cable must not interfere with the fan or other moving parts. Make sure the cable can be routed away from the moving parts. Step 3: Properly align the cooling kit. Line up the four screws with the screw holes on the support bracket below the board (Figure 4-2). Figure 4-2: Align the Cooling Kit Step 4: Place the cooling kit onto the CPU. Push down the fan with some pressure to secure the cooling kit with the support bracket.

NANO-QM871 EPIC SBC Figure 4-3: Secure the Cooling Kit 4.4 SO-DIMM Installation WARNING: Using incorrectly specified SO-DIMM may cause permanent damage to the NANO-QM871. Please make sure the purchased SO-DIMM complies with the memory specifications of the NANO-QM871. SO-DIMM specifications compliant with the NANO-QM871 are listed in Chapter 1. To install a SO-DIMM into a SO-DIMM socket, please follow the steps below and refer to Figure 4-4.
PAGE 68
NANO-QM871 EPIC SBC Figure 4-4: SO-DIMM Installation Step 1: Locate the SO-DIMM socket. Place the NANO-QM871 on an anti-static pad with the solder side facing up. Step 2: Align the SO-DIMM with the socket. Align the notch on the memory with the notch on the memory socket. Step 3: Insert the SO-DIMM. Push the memory in at a 20º angle.
