1. Align the module to the socket so that the edge connec-
tors on the module match the socket sections.
2. Hold the module perpendicular to the motherboard and
press the edge connector into the socket.
3. Press the module fully into the socket so that the socket
retaining arms swing up and engage the retention
notches at each end of the module.
4. Following the configuration you have chosen, repeat this
procedure if necessary so that all modules are installed.
5. Once the modules are installed, system memory installa-
tion is complete.
3.3 Connecting IDE Devices to the NuPRO-842
The NuPRO-842 supports two IDE channels, Primary and Sec-
ondary. It has two IDE device connectors onboard which support
IDE devices running in any data transfer mode up to ATA-100.
Each IDE connector supports two drives, a Master and a Slave.
The drives connect to the NuPRO-842 with an IDE ribbon cable.
To install an IDE drive, connect the drive to one of the drive con-
nectors to a suitable ribbon cable. Plug the board end of the cable
into one of the IDE connectors on the NuPRO-842. Make sure pin
1 of the ribbon cable connector is properly aligned with pin 1 of the
IDE device connector.
3.4 BIOS Configuration Overview
The BIOS has many separately configurable features. These fea-
tures are selected by running the built-in Setup utility. System con-
figuration settings are saved in a portion of the battery-backed
RAM in the real-time clock device and are used by the BIOS to ini-
tialize the system at boot-up or reset. The configuration is pro-
tected by a checksum word for system integrity.
To access the Setup utility, press the "Del" key during the system
RAM check at boot time. When Setup runs, an interactive configu-
ration screen displays.
