Cyclone System Board Manual
Installing the Cyclone
Installation of the Cyclone system board depends on the
type of case you use. The Cyclone is designed for the new
NLX form factor and must be installed in an NLX chassis.
There are no tools required to install the Cyclone system
board. The dockable system board simply slides into the
chassis and inserts into the chassis riser card (refer to
“Installing the Cyclone” in Chapter 1 for step by step
instructions). A special I/O shield is provided and attaches
to the system board via the jack screws on the parallel and
serial connectors.
NOTE: If you are unfamiliar with installing a system board,
Micronics highly recommends that you read the computer user’s
manual or contact your dealer’s technical support department.
Equipment Required
Micronics recommends using the following equipment with
the Cyclone for a typical configuration:
❏
NLX chassis with standard hardware.
❏
A high-quality ATX power supply capable of providing
continuous power within a 3 volt range. A power filter
may be used with a noisy AC power source.
❏
Standard PS/2 style mouse and keyboard.
❏
Eight ohm speaker.
❏
Standard ribbon cables for internal connections.
❏
Standard power cord (grounded).
❏
I/O Shield (included).
