Introduction
ACM-XE21B6 is the latest COM Express Type 6 Basic Module of Acrosser that is
equipped with the new Coffee Lake CM246 platform with both i7 9850HE & Xeon
E-2176M highest performance CPU for selecting. And also, it includes a total of 24
PCIe Lanes for expansion (1x PCIe x16 or 2x PCIe x8, selected by BIOS setting
and 8x PCIe x1), which fully complies with the PICMG.COM standard specification,
so it can offer higher CPU computing & higher data transmission speed in industrial
applications.

Memory Module Installation
As memory modules are highly sensitive technical components, the use of ESD tools
and anti-static gloves or wristband is highly recommended.
Step 1:
Align the memory module key along with the memory socket key.
Step 2:
Hold the SO-DIMM module by the sides and slide it into slot SO-DIMM1 at
the appropriate angle, golden contacts first.
Step 3:
Insert the module carefully until the golden contacts are all inserted and
the module is snug in its slot. Press the memory downward until the lock/
ejector tabs engage and click into place.

Heat Spreader Installation
Step 1:
Use 4 round-head screws to mount 4 standoffs onto the board.
Step 2:
Paste appropriate amount of thermal grease and apply it evenly on CPU
chip. Please be careful not to touch with the parts on the board.

Step 3:
Remove the thermal pad transparent film on the heat spreader module,
and attach the board with its CPU facing the heat spreader module.
Please note that the fan and CPUFAN1 must be located at the same side.
Step 4:
Use 4 flat-head screws to tighten the board.
Step 5:
Connect the cooling module fan connector to the header CPUFAN1 on
board. Please pay attention to connect to the bottom and its orientation.
