DDR3 SODIMM Memory Slot

The mainboard provides one 204-pin DDR3 SODIMM slot that supports non-

ECC DDR3 1600/1333/1066 SODIMM memory modules. The memory slot can accommodate up to 8 GB of DDR3 1600/1333/1066 memory. The memory slot is labeled as “SODIMM1”. The location of the DDR3 memory slot is shown below.

Figure 22 : DDR3 SODIMM memory slot

36

4.2.1.

Installing a Memory Module

Align the notch on the SODIMM memory module with the protruding wedge on the SODIMM memory slot. Insert the SODIMM memory module at a 30 degree angle relative to the SODIMM memory slot.

30

Figure 23 Inserting the memory

Insert the SODIMM memory module between the two rows of pins. Then push down until the locking clips lock the SODIMM memory module into place.

There will be a slight tension as the SODIMM memory module is being locked.

Figure 24

37

St ep

Install the memory thermal pad on the top of the DRAM memory module.

Figure 25 Installing memory thermal pad

The memory thermal pad is used for transferring the heat dissipation of memory to the thermal plate or bottom plate to attain memory cooling, and to ensure the operating temperature of the memory module should not exceed to 85°C. This helps to prevent damage of the memory module. The memory thermal pad to be used is requires a certain thickness in order to make contact with the memory thermal plate or bottom plate to excellently disperse the heat.

2.

3.

1.

The customer/user should consider using the memory thermal pad and adding memory thermal plate or bottom plate on their chassis design.

The memory thermal plate/bottom plate material to be used should have an excellent thermal conductivity. Avoid using plastic or rubber materials.

The thickness of memory thermal pad should be based on customer’s design. However, the minimum value of thermal conductivity K (W/m.k) is 1.5 and the maximum of hardness is 5

(Shore A).

38

4.2.2.

Removing a Memory Module

To disengage the locking clips, push the locking clips horizontally outward away from the SODIMM memory module.

Figure 26 Disengaging the SOD IMM locking clips

When the locking clips have cleared, the SODIMM memory module will automatically pop up to the 30 degree angle. Remove the memory module.

Installing the P910-A Companion Card

(optional)

The optional P910-A companion card is connected through CN1 & CN2 pin headers. Align and attach the board-to-board connector on the bottom of

P910-A with the CN1 and CN2 blocks on the EPIA-P910 mainboard. igure 28

The P910-A companion card is for project based enquiries only. Please contact sales for detailed information.

Installing the P910-B Expansion Card

(optional)

Align the High Speed Extension Slot (CN3) on the EPIA-P910 with the CN2 board-to-board female connector on the P910-B expansion card. Then gently insert the CN2 connector into the CN3 connector until the CN2 connector is fully inserted.

5.3.

Installing into a Chassis

The EPIA-P910 can be fitted into any chassis that has the mounting holes compatible with the standard Pico-ITX mounting hole locations. Additionally, the chassis must meet the minimum height requirements for specified areas of the mainboard. If an expansion card (P910-B) is being used, the chassis will need to accommodate the additional space requirements.

5.3.1.

Suggested minimum chassis dimensions

The figure below shows the suggested minimum space requirements that a chassis should have in order to work well with the EPIA-P910.

Figure 30

: Suggested minimum chassis dimensions

Each side of the mainboard should have a buffer zone from the internal wall of the chassis. The side of the mainboard that accommodates the I/O coastline should have a buffer of 1.00 mm. The side on the opposite end of the I/O coastline should have a buffer of at least 5.00 mm. The two sides adjacent to the I/O coastline should have at least a 10.00 mm buffer.

For the side that is close to the High Speed Extension Slot (CN3), the buffer should be at least 102.00 mm if the P910-B expansion card will be used.

43

5.3.2.

Suggested minimum chassis height

The figure below shows the suggested minimum height requirements for the internal space of the chassis. It is not necessary for the internal ceiling to be evenly flat. What is required is that the internal ceiling height must be strictly observed for each section that is highlighted.

Figure 31

: Suggested minimum internal chassis ceiling height

In getting the minimum height requirements for internal space of the chassis, it is required to consider the heights of the connectors (such as SPI connector, CMOS battery connector and DDR3 SODIMM slot) on the bottom side of the EPIA-P910 mainboard.
