4.3.3 Airflow Consideration

Although the embedded board can operate without active cooling, it is still necessary to

install the board in a chassis with ventilation holes on the sides allowing airflow to travel

through the heat sink surface. In a system with an individual power supply unit, the cooling

fan of a power supply can also help generate airflow through the board surface.

4.3.4 Peripheral Device Connection

Cables provided by IEI that connect peripheral devices to the CPU card are listed in

Table 4-1. Cables not included in the kit must be purchased separately.

Step 3:

Step 4:

Find the ATA 66/100 flat cable in the kit that came with the motherboard.

Connect one end of the cable to the IDE1 connector on the motherboard. A

keyed pin on the IDE connectors prevents it from being connected incorrectly.

Locate the red wire on the other side of the cable that corresponds to the pin

1 connector.

Connect the other side of the cable to the HDD making sure that the pin 1 cable

corresponds to pin 1 on the connector.
