2.3 Hardware Setup

Caution

Be sure to follow the EMC security recommendations. Make sure you
are always at the same potential as the module.

Unpack the CoreExpress-ECO2 and plug it into your baseboard. Depending on your final hardware
setup, either mount your cooling solution to the processor and chipset or mount the complete set of
boards in their enclosure. Connect all necessary peripherals, such as keyboard, mouse, monitor, etc.
to the system.

Caution

Never operate the CoreExpress-ECO2 without a suitable cooling
solution!
Overheating the processor severely influences the performance and
might even destroy some parts.

Caution

Never connect or disconnect peripherals like e.g. HDD's or LVDS while
the board's power supply is connected and switched on!

Switch the power on.

The display shows the BIOS messages. If you want to change the standard BIOS settings, press the
<F2> key to enter the BIOS menu. See chapter 4.1 for BIOS setup details.

If you need to load the BIOS default values, pull the signal BIOS_INIT# (B95) to ground during
startup. This forces the BIOS to load the factory settings from FlashPROM.

The CoreExpress-ECO2 boots from CD drive, USB floppy, USB stick, or harddisk. Provided that any of
these is connected and contains a valid operating system image, the display then shows the boot
screen of your operating system.

Note Not all USB devices are suitable to boot the CoreExpress-ECO2 from.

If there are problems, please use another device from different
manufacturer.
