2.3 Hardware Setup
Caution Be sure to observe the EMC security measures. Make sure you are always at
the same potential as the module.
Caution Never connect or disconnect peripherals like HDDs or PCI and ISA boards
while the board's power supply is connected and switched on.
Use the cable set provided by ADLINK Technology GmbH to connect the CMx-GF to a VGA monitor. Connect
either PS/2 or USB keyboard or mouse, respectively. Use the SATA cable to connect the hard disk. Make sure
that the pins match their counterparts correctly and are not twisted. If you plan to use additional peripherals,
now is the time to connect them, too.
Connect a 5-volt, 5-amp power supply to the power connector and switch the power on.
Note The 5-amp value is the minimum you should have for the standard peripherals
mentioned. If you want to use additional peripherals, please plan your power
budget first. The system will not work without enough supply current for all your
devices.
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 setup details.
If you need to load the BIOS default values, they can be automatically loaded at boot time. See chapter 3.8,
"Load Bios defaults", about loading BIOS defaults.
The CMx-GF boots from CD drives, USB floppies, USB sticks, hard disks, and CFast or Ethernet (PXE) devices.
Provided that any of these is connected and contains a valid operating system image, the display will show the
boot screen of your operating system.
The CMx-GF requires adequate cooling depending on the operating temperature range. Using the board
without cooling could damage the board permanently.
