System Information

1-1 Installation Precautions

The system contains numerous delicate electronic circuits and components which can become damaged as a result of electrostatic discharge (ESD). Prior to installation, carefully read the user manual and follow these procedures:

• Prior to installation, do not remove or break motherboard S/N (Serial Number) sticker or warranty sticker provided by your dealer. These stickers are required for warranty validation.
• Always remove the AC power by unplugging the power cord from the power outlet before installing or removing the motherboard or other hardware components.
• When connecting hardware components to the internal connectors on the motherboard, make sure they are connected tightly and securely.
• When handling the motherboard, avoid touching any metal leads or connectors.
• It is best to wear an electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap when handling electronic components such as a motherboard, CPU or memory. If you do not have an ESD wrist strap, keep your hands dry and first touch a metal object to eliminate static electricity.
• Prior to installing the motherboard, please have it on top of an antistatic pad or within an electrostatic shielding container.
• Before unplugging the power supply cable from the motherboard, make sure the power supply has been turned off.
• Before turning on the power, make sure the power supply voltage has been set according to the local voltage standard.
• Before using the product, please verify that all cables and power connectors of your hardware components are connected.
• To prevent damage to the motherboard, do not allow screws to come in contact with the motherboard circuit or its components.
• Make sure there are no leftover screws or metal components placed on the motherboard or within the computer casing.
• Do not place the computer system on an uneven surface.
• Do not place the computer system in a high-temperature environment.
• Turning on the computer power during the installation process can lead to damage to system components as well as physical harm to the user.
• If you are uncertain about any installation steps or have a problem related to the use of the product, please consult a certified computer technician.

System Hardware Installation

Pre-installation Instructions

Computer components and electronic circuit boards can be damaged by electrostatic discharge. Working on computers that are still connected to a power supply can be extremely dangerous. Follow the simple guidelines below to avoid damage to your computer or injury to yourself.

• Always disconnect the computer from the power outlet whenever you are working inside the computer case.
• If possible, wear a grounded wrist strap when you are working inside the computer case. Alternatively, discharge any static electricity by touching the bare metal system of the computer case, or the bare metal body of any other grounded appliance.
• Hold electronic circuit boards by the edges only. Do not touch the components on the board unless it is necessary to do so. Do not flex or stress the circuit board.
• Leave all components inside the static-proof packaging until you are ready to use the component for the installation.

3-1 Removing the Bottom Cover

Before you remove the bottom cover

• Make sure the system is not turned on or connected to AC power.

Follow these instructions to remove/install the Bottom Cover:

1. Unscrew and remove the bottom cover from system. (將底蓋從機器上移除。)
2. Reinstall the bottom cover to system. (將底蓋鎖回機器上。)

3-2 Installing the M.2 SSD

WARNING! Failure to properly turn off the system before you start installing components may cause serious damage.

Follow these instructions to Install the M.2 SSD:

1. Carefully insert the M.2 SSD into slot. (小心地把 M.2 SSD 裝入插槽。)
2. Push down until the M.2 SSD click into place. (當M.2 SSD 固定於插槽後,再輕輕下壓至定點。)
3. Make sure the M.2 clip is properly secured to the M.2 SSD. (確認M.2卡固定扣鎖附住M.2 SSD。)

NOTE! The illustrations of the M.2 SSD installation shown are for reference only. Please follow the installation steps of actual purchased.

3-3 Installing the Memory

Read the following guidelines before you begin to install the memory:

• Make sure that the system supports the memory. It is recommended that memory of the same capacity, brand, speed, and chips be used.
• Always turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the power outlet before installing the memory to prevent hardware damage.
• Memory modules have a foolproof design. A memory module can be installed in only one direction. If you are unable to insert the memory, switch the direction.

Follow these instructions to Install the Memory(SO-DIMM/CSO-DIMM DDR5):

1. When using the following DDR specifications, please apply the DDR PAD to the motherboard. (當使用以下DDR規格時,請將DDR PAD貼立於主機板上。)
2. Carefully insert SO-DIMM/CSO-DIMM memory modules. (小心並由下層至上層安裝 SO-DIMM/CSO-DIMM 記憶體於記憶體插槽。)
3. Push down until the modules click into place. (當記憶體固定於插槽後,再輕輕下壓至定點。)

3-4 Remove the Wireless Module

Follow these instructions to remove the WiFi Module:

1. Disconnect the two antennas by manually lifting off the clips that hold them in place. (向上移除連接於無線模組左側頂端天線。)
2. Remove the screw in the middle. (鬆開固定於無線模組中央頂端的螺絲。)
3. Carefully pull the wireless module from the slot. (小心的把無線模組從M.2插槽拔除。)
