Section 1.0 - Overview 

The purpose of this manual is to provide step-by-step assembly instructions for 

the Sabio Digital KN1 “barebones” whitebook PC manufactured by Quanta 

Computer.  The KN1 is a flexible, configurable platform allowing the system 
builder to quickly and easily install major components including: 

 

‰

 

CPU and Thermal Module 

‰

 

Hard Disk Drive 

‰

 

Optical Disk Drive 

‰

 

Wireless LAN Module

Memory Module(s)

Section 2.0 - Before You Begin 

‰

 

Prepare ample work bench space that is clean and free of obstructions.  
Use of proper electrostatic discharge equipment including floor mat, bench 

mat, and ESD wristband is highly recommended to avoid damaging the 

notebook’s motherboard and/or primary components. 

‰

 

Make sure the notebook is disconnected from any power source. 

‰

 

When installing or upgrading components, always remove the battery 
pack for the unit.  To remove the battery pack, simply slide and hold the 

battery latch and remove the battery by lifting up and out. 

‰

 

Always use the appropriate tools.  Although the primary tool required for 
assembly is a No. 1 Phillips head screw driver, we recommend also using 

a single-slot screwdriver for unlocking and locking flexible cable 
connectors, and a pair of tweezers to insert and remove flexible cables.
