Installing memory module/expansion card
Before you install the memory module or expansion card, please follow the instructions
below to open the chassis of the MicroBox-7824B E-Series fanless industrial microbox
computer.
1. Remove the six screws on both sides of the bottom case( Figure 1).
2. Then remove the bottom case of the computer, you will find the DDR3 SO-DIMM slot
and MINI_PCIE slots.
Figure 1
The MicroBox-7824B E-Series fanless industrial microbox computer comes with
the B059 motherboard, and the DDR3 SO-DIMM slot and MINI-PCIE slot are built
on the motherboard, so user can refer to steps outlined in the User Manual for
B059 motherboard to install the memory module and expansion card.
Installing the memory module
The B059 motherboard provides one SO-DIMM slot for DDR3 1333MHz SDRAM
memory modules and supports memory size up to 8GB.
1. Locate the DIMM on the SO-DIMM slot and align the notch on the DIMM with
the key on the slot.
Note: DO NOT force a DIMM into a slot to avoid damaging the DIMM.

2. Insert the DIMM into the slot at 45-degree angle, then push it in until the golden
finger on the DIMM is deeply inserted into the DIMM slot.
3. Firmly press the DIMM down to lock the module in place.
Removing the memory module
Follow these steps to remove the DIMM.
1. Use your finger to simply push away the retaining clips on both sides of the
DIMM outward to unlock the DIMM.
2. Then, the retaining clip will release, and gently remove the DIMM from the module.
Note: Make sure to unplug the power supply before adding or removing DIMM
or other system components. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to both
motherboard and the components.
30
Installing expansion card
The MINI-PCIE slot supports PCIE cards such as a Wi-Fi LAN card, mSATA SSD,
SCSI card, USBcard, and other cards that comply with PCIE specifications. The
following figure shows a Wi-Fi LAN card installed on the MINI-PCIE slot.
Follow the steps outlined below to install a Wi-Fi LAN card.
1. Locate the Wi-Fi LAN card on MINI-PCIE slot and align the notch on the card
with the key on the slot.
2. Insert the card into the slot at 45-degree angle, then push it in until the golden
finger on the card is deeply inserted into the slot.
3. Press the Wi-Fi LAN card down and secure the card to the B059 motherboard
with the screws.
Clearing CMOS data
As shown in the figure below, Clear CMOS jumper allows you to erase CMOS
data and reset setting to factory default. Normally this jumper should be set with
pins 1-2 closed.
If you want to reset the CMOS data, set the Clear CMOS jumper to pin1-2 closed
for just a few seconds, and then move the jumper back to pin1-2 open. This
procedure will reset the CMOS data to its default settings.

Chapter 4 BIOS Setup
Introduction
The computer uses latest “American Megatrends Inc.” BIOS with support for Windows Plug and Play. The
CMOS chip on the motherboard contains the ROM setup instructions for configuring the built-in motherboard
BIOS.
The BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) Setup Utility displays the system’s configuration status and
provides you with options to set system parameters. The parameters are stored in battery-backed-up CMOS
RAM that saves this information when the power is turned off. When the system is turned back on, the system
is configured with the values you stored in CMOS.
The BIOS Setup Utility enables you to configure:
•
•
•
•
Hard drives, diskette drives and peripherals
Video display type and display options
Password protection from unauthorized use
Power Management features
The settings made in the Setup Utility affect how the computer performs. Before using the Setup Utility,
ensure that you understand the Setup Utility options.
The Standard configuration
A standard configuration has already been set in the Setup Utility. However, we recommend that you read
this chapter in case you need to make any changes in the future.
This Setup Utility should be used:
•
•
•
•
•
when changing the system configuration
when a configuration error is detected and you are prompted to make changes to
the Setup Utility
when trying to resolve IRQ conflicts
when making changes to the Power Management configuration
when changing the password or making other changes to the Security Setup
32
Entering the Setup
When you power on the system, BIOS enters the Power-On Self Test (POST) routines. POST is a series
of built-in diagnostics performed by the BIOS. After the POST routines are completed, the following
