Safety Instructions Before You Begin Before handling the product, read the instructions and safety guidelines on the following pages to prevent damage to the product and to ensure your own personal safety. Refer to the “Advisories” section in the Preface for advisory conventions used in this user’s guide, including the distinction between Warnings, Cautions, Important Notes, and Notes. Always use caution when handling/operating a computer.
3. 4. apply when hot swapping parts. Follow the guidelines provided in “Preventing Electrostatic Discharge” on the following page. Disconnect any telephone or telecommunications lines from the computer. In addition, take note of these safety guidelines when appropriate: To help avoid possible damage to system boards, wait five seconds after turning off the computer before removing a component, removing a system board, or disconnecting a peripheral device from the computer.
Handle components and boards with care. Don’t touch the components or contacts on a board. Hold a board by its edges or by its metal mounting bracket. Do not handle or store system boards near strong electrostatic, electromagnetic, magnetic, or radioactive fields. Instructions for Lithium Battery WARNING Danger of explosion when battery is replaced with incorrect type. Only replace with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer.
Preface How to Use This Guide This guide is designed to be used as step-by-step instructions for installation, and as a reference for operation, troubleshooting, and upgrades. NOTE Driver downloads and additional information are available under Downloads on our web site: www.quanmax.com. Unpacking When unpacking, follow these steps: 1.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Quanmax could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
each unit, by serial number(s), as well as a copy of the original invoice showing the date of purchase. To reduce risk of damage, returns of product must be in a Quanmax shipping container. If the original container has been lost or damaged, new shipping containers may be obtained from Quanmax Customer Service at a nominal cost. Quanmax owns all parts removed from repaired products.
Environmental Factors Temperature The ambient temperature within an enclosure may be greater than room ambient temperature. Installation in an enclosure should be such that the amount of air flow required for safe operation is not compromised. Consideration should be given to the maximum rated ambient temperature. Overheating can cause a variety of problems, including premature aging and failure of chips or mechanical failure of devices.
Surge Protector Surge protectors are available in a variety of types and usually provide a level of protection proportional with the cost of the device. Surge protectors prevent voltage spikes from entering a system through the AC power cord. Surge protectors, however, do not offer protection against brownouts, which occur when the voltage drops more than 20 percent below the normal AC line voltage level. Line Conditioner Line conditioners go beyond the overvoltage protection of surge protectors.

Chapter 2 Assembly/Disassembly Accessing Internal Components WARNING Before opening your system, make sure to turn it off and disconnect the power sources to prevent electric shock or system damage. Follow the procedure described below to access the system's internal components (Top Cover) 1. Loosen the 6 flathead screws from right and left side of the computer. 2. Remove the chassis top cover off the chassis base.
3. 4. Place your mini-PCIe module toward the mini-PCIe socket. Tightening the screw on the hole of the mini-PCIe module as shown below. Figure 3 Install mini-PCIe Module (Bottom Cover) 1. Loosen the 6 flathead screws from right and left side of the computer. 2. Remove the chassis bottom cover off the chassis base. 3. Then you could Install/Remove the HDD and CF as shown below.
Memory Module Installation Carefully follow the steps below in order to install the SO-DIMMs: 1. 2. 3. To avoid generating static electricity and damaging the SO-DIMM, ground yourself by touching a grounded metal surface or use a ground strap before you touch the SO-DIMM. Do not touch the connectors of the SO-DIMM. Dirt or other residue may cause a malfunction. Hold the SO-DIMM with its notch aligned with the memory socket of the board and insert it at a 30-degree angle into the socket.
Chapter 3 Getting Started Power Connection CAUTION Use the power cord suitable for the power supply in your country. Do not remove or alter the grounding prong on the power cord. In situations where a two-slot receptacle is present, have it replaced with a properly grounded three-prong grounding type receptacle. Operating System and Drivers If your product does not come with an operating system pre-installed, you will need to install an operating system and the necessary drivers to operate it.
Jumper Settings To ensure correct system configuration, the following section describes how to set the jumpers to enable/disable or change functions. For jumper descriptions, please refer to the table below.
