SPI Device Installation253.0 Setting Up and Configuring the Development Kit263.1 Overview26Note: This board is shipped as an open system allowing for maximum flexibility in changing hardware configuration and peripherals. Since the board is not in a protective chassis, take extra precaution when handling and operating the system.26Figure 16. Intel® Q35 Development Kits263.2 Installing Board Standoffs26Caution: The evaluation board in this development kit is shipped as an open system allowing for maximum flexibility in changing ...261. Insert screw through top mounting hole for the BTX Heatsink. Refer to Figure 17 for the mounting hole location.272. Place standoff on backside of board and hand tighten to screw. Refer to Figure 18 for guide.273. Repeat for additional standoffs on the board until all standoffs are installed. Refer to Figure 17 for recommended mounting hole locations.27Figure 17. Mounting Hole Locations27Figure 18. Mounting the Standoff for BTX Heatsink283.3 BTX Heatsink Setup with SRM28Note: SRM is not included in this development kits.28Figure 19. Casing with “Support and Retention Module”283.3.1 SRM Alignment on any BTX Board281. Place the uBTX board on the Support and Retention Module (SRM) so that the holes A, B, C and D on the PCB line up with the corresponding locations on the SRM (see Figure 19). The board and SRM assembly should look like Figure 20.29Figure 20. BTX board alignment on SRM292. Place the heatsink on top of the processor. The heatsink should align with the holes on the SRM and board as shown below Figure 21. Clean the surface of the processor with isopropyl alcohol before attaching the heatsink.29Figure 21. Heatsink Alignment293. Use two 6-32 screws to partially tighten the rear end of the heatsink to the board and the SRM as shown in Figure 22. The screw uses the threaded holes of the SRM for retention.29Figure 22. Tightening Heatsink on the SRM and Board303.4 Board Setup and Configuration before Boot30Warning: Before starting, ensure the power supply is not connected to the board.30Caution: Connecting the wrong cable or reversing a cable may damage the board and may damage the device being connected. Since the board is not in a protective chassis, use caution when connecting cables to the board.30Caution: The power supply cord is the main disconnect device to main power (AC power). The socket outlet should be installed nea...30Note: Ensure that setting up the ATX power supply is the final step performed in the process of assembly.301. Physically inspect the motherboard for obvious defects. Note that each reference board has been tested prior to distribution, but a visual check should be performed to ensure no damage has occurred during shipping.302. Set jumpers to default positions. Refer to Section 2.8.1 for default positions.313. Install the processor and ensure the 4-pin CPU fan power connector is installed on header shown in Figure 23.31Figure 23. CPU Fan location314. Install the DDR2 DIMM in the Channel A Slot 0 connector. DIMMs should never be inserted or removed unless the power supply is disconnected from the AC power source. Refer to Section 2.5 for system memory configuration.315. Connect a SATA hard drive, USB keyboard, USB mouse, and VGA monitor (video card is optional).316. Connect a 2x12 standard power supply and 2x2 standard power supply as well. Refer to Figure 24 for the location.317. Plug the power cable into the back of the power supply, leaving the switch in the OFF position.318. Once the board is set up, plug the cord into the power source. Switch on the power supply.319. Press the power button. Refer to Figure 24 or Figure 1 for power-on button location.31Figure 24. 2x12 Standard power supply and 2x2 power supply323.5 Post Codes Definitions323.5.1 Normal Post Codes32Size: 1.25 MBPages: 36Language: EnglishOpen manual
