NOVA-HM551 5.25" SBC 4.1 Anti-static Precautions WARNING: Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the NOVA-HM551 may result in permanent damage to the NOVA-HM551 and severe injury to the user. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components, including the NOVA-HM551. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD.
PAGE 61
NOVA-HM551 5.25" SBC 4.2 Installation Considerations NOTE: The following installation notices and installation considerations should be read and understood before the NOVA-HM551 is installed. All installation notices pertaining to the installation of the NOVA-HM551 should be strictly adhered to. Failing to adhere to these precautions may lead to severe damage of the NOVA-HM551 and injury to the person installing the motherboard. 4.2.
PAGE 62
NOVA-HM551 5.25" SBC o When working with the NOVA-HM551, make sure that it is disconnected from all power supplies and that no electricity is being fed into the system. Before and during the installation of the NOVA-HM551 DO NOT: Remove any of the stickers on the PCB board. These stickers are required for warranty validation. Use the product before verifying all the cables and power connectors are properly connected.
PAGE 63
NOVA-HM551 5.25" SBC 4.4.1 Socket G1 CPU Installation WARNING: CPUs are expensive and sensitive components. When installing the CPU please be careful not to damage it in anyway. Make sure the CPU is installed properly and ensure the correct cooling kit is properly installed. To install a socket G1 CPU onto the NOVA-HM551, follow the steps below: WARNING: When handling the CPU, only hold it on the sides. DO NOT touch the pins at the bottom of the CPU. Step 1: Unlock the CPU retention screw.
PAGE 64
NOVA-HM551 5.25" SBC Figure 4-1: Make sure the CPU socket retention screw is unlocked Step 2: Inspect the CPU socket. Make sure there are no bent pins and make sure the socket contacts are free of foreign material. If any debris is found, remove it with compressed air. Step 3: Correctly Orientate the CPU. Make sure the IHS (integrated heat sink) side is facing upwards. Step 4: Correctly position the CPU. Match the Pin 1 mark with the cut edge on the CPU socket. See Figure 4-1. Step 5: Align the CPU pins.

NOVA-HM551 5.25" SBC Figure 4-2: Lock the CPU Socket Retention Screw 4.4.2 Socket G1 Cooling Kit Installation An IEI Socket G1 CPU cooling kit can be purchased separately. (See Chapter 3) The cooling kit comprises 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.
PAGE 66
NOVA-HM551 5.25" SBC Figure 4-3: Cooling Kit Support Bracket Step 2: Open the lever at the top of the heat sink. Lift the lever at the top of the cooling kit to loosen the cooling kit clamps. Step 3: Secure the cooling kit. Gently place the heat sink and cooling kit onto the CPU. Make sure the hooks are properly secured to the bracket. To secure the cooling kit, close the top lever. Step 4: Connect the fan cable. Connect the cooling kit fan cable to the fan connector on the NOVA-HM551.

NOVA-HM551 5.25" SBC 4.4.3 SO-DIMM Installation To install an SO-DIMM, please follow the steps below and refer to Figure 4-4. Figure 4-4: SO-DIMM Installation Step 1: Open the SO-DIMM socket handles. Open the two handles outwards as far as they can. See Figure 4-4. Step 2: Align the SO-DIMM with the socket. Align the SO-DIMM so the notch on the memory lines up with the notch on the memory socket. See Figure 4-4. Step 3: Insert the SO-DIMM. Once aligned, press down until the SO-DIMM is properly seated.

NOVA-HM551 5.25" SBC B.1 One Key Recovery Introduction The IEI one key recovery is an easy-to-use front end for the Norton Ghost system backup and recovery tool. The one key recovery provides quick and easy shortcuts for creating a backup and reverting to that backup or for reverting to the factory default settings. The IEI One Key Recovery tool menu is shown below.
PAGE 125
NOVA-HM551 5.25" SBC B.1.1 System Requirement NOTE: The recovery CD can only be used with IEI products. The software will fail to run and a warning message will appear when used on non-IEI hardware. To create the system backup, the main storage device must be split into two partitions (three partitions for Linux). The first partition will be for the operating system, while the second partition will be invisible to the operating system and contain the backup made by the one key recovery software.
PAGE 126
NOVA-HM551 5.25" SBC NOTE: Specialized tools are required to change the partition size if the operating system is already installed.
