Workspace Preparation
The development kit is shipped as an open system to provide flexibility in changing
hardware configurations and peripherals in a lab environment. Because the board is
not in a protective chassis, the user is required to take the following safety
precautions in handling and operating the board.
•
The power supply cord is the main disconnect device to main power (AC power). A
power outlet should be readily accessible.
•
To avoid shock, ensure that the power cord is connected to a properly wired and
grounded receptacle.
•
Ensure that any equipment to which this product will be attached is also
connected to properly wired and grounded receptacles.
•
Use a flame-retardant work surface and take note of the closest fire extinguisher
and emergency exits.
•
Ensure a static-free work environment before removing any components from
their anti-static packaging. Wear an electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap when
handling the development board or other development kit components. The
development board is susceptible to ESD damage, and such damage may cause
product failure or unpredictable operation.

System Setup
Please complete the steps outlined below to ensure the successful setup and operation
of your development kit system.
The following items should already be completed in the kit (i.e., no user procedure
required):
•
Place one or more DDR3 SO-DIMMs in memory sockets, populating J4V1 and/or
J4U1.
•
Place the quad-core Intel
®
Core™ i7-2710QE processor in socket U3E1 and lock in
place. Make sure to align the chip to the pin 1 marking. The kit includes a second
CPU for evaluation — the dual-core Intel
®
Core™ i5-2510E processor.
•
Install the MPI socket and place the chipset at U7F1
•
Attach the heat sink/fan for the processor at U3E1 and plug the fan power cable
into J3B1.
•
Install the configuration jumpers as shown in
for a complete list of jumper settings.
•
Verify presence of RTC battery in battery holder at BT5G1.
•
Plug a mobile ATX AC brick into J1F2. Optionally plug in a battery pack into J1H1
or J1H2. Do not mix mobile and desktop power configurations.
•
Attach a hard drive in J8J1.
The following steps need to be completed by the user:
1.
Connect a PS/2 keyboard in J1A1 (bottom) or a USB keyboard in one of the
USB connectors.
2.
Connect a PS/2 mouse in J1A1 (top) or a USB mouse in one of the USB
connectors.
