DO NOT allow screws to come in contact with the PCB circuit, connector pins, or its components. 4.2.2 Installation Checklist The following checklist is provided to ensure the PCISA-945GSE is properly installed.
PAGE 66
PCISA-945GSE CPU Card contact the PCISA-945GSE vendor reseller/vendor where the PCISA-945GSE was purchased or contact an IEI sales representative. 4.4 SO-DIMM Installation To install an SO-DIMM, please follow the steps below and refer to Figure 4-1. Figure 4-1: SO-DIMM Installation Step 1: Locate the SO-DIMM socket. Place the board on an anti-static mat. 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.
PAGE 67
PCISA-945GSE CPU Card Step 5: Locate the CF card socket. Place the PCISA-945GSE on an anti-static pad with the solder side facing up. Locate the CF card. Step 6: Align the CF card. Make sure the CF card is properly aligned with the CF socket. Step 7: Insert the CF card. Gently insert the CF card into the socket making sure the socket pins are properly inserted into the socket. See Figure 4-2. Step 0: Figure 4-2: CF Card Installation 4.
PAGE 68
PCISA-945GSE CPU Card Step 2: Connect the ATX control cable. Connect the ATX control cable to ATXCTL1 on the PCISA-945GSE and to the ATX control connector on the backplane.
