Section 3

Option Installation

The PowerMate NetPC computer supports a variety of industry-standard and NECCSD
expansion options.

This section provides installation instructions for the following options:

expansion boards

DIMM memory module upgrade

processor upgrade

hard disk upgrade.

All options require that you remove the system cover and open the chassis. These internal
access procedures are included in this section.

WARNING:

Hazardous voltage, current, and

energy levels are present inside the computer.
Access to the inside is restricted to qualified,
NECCSD-trained personnel. See Section 5 for
servicing and parts information.

General Rules

Follow these general rules when you install the system options.

Turn off system power and unplug the power cable.

Turn off and disconnect all peripherals.

When handling boards or chips, touch the system frame to discharge static.

Do not disassemble parts other than those specified in the procedure.

All screws are Phillips-head unless otherwise specified.

Label any cable connectors before disconnecting. Note where the connector goes
and in what position it was installed.
