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 2.1.1.2 Installing the Fan and Heat Sink • Place the heat sink on the top of the board and match Hole 1-1 to 1-2, 2-1 to 2-2, 3-1 to 3-2, and 4-1 to 4-2. Hole 1-1 Hole 2-1 Heat Sink Screws Thermal Pad x 5 Hole 2-2 Hole 1-2 2 4 1 3 5 Hole 3-1 Hole 4-1 (Front side) Hole 4-2 (Rear side) Hole 3-2 • Insert and fasten the screws to lock the board and heat sink through Hole 1-2 to Hole 1-1, Hole 2-2 to 2-1, Hole 3-2 to 3-1, and Hole 4-2 to 4-1. • Assembling completed as below.
ESM-2740/2743 2.1.2 Main Memory ESM-2740/2743 provides one 200-pin SODIMM sockets to support DDR SDRAM. The total maximum memory size is 1GB. SODIMM 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.
User’s Manual • • • • Locate the DIMM socket on the board. Hold two edges of the DIMM module carefully. Keep away of touching its connectors. Align the notch key on the module with the rib on the slot. Firmly press the modules into the socket automatically snaps into the mounting notch. Do not force the DIMM module in with extra force as the DIMM module only fit in one direction.
ESM-2740/2743 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.
