8. [Optional] To adjust the heat bridge, either slightly bend the foot up or down as required,
or use thermal paste to ensure a good thermal connection between the heat bridge and
the CPU.
9. Once the heat bridge is properly adjusted, tighten the screws on the right-hand-side of
the mounting plate.
10. Connect the power and data cables to the hard drive.
11. Attach the cover plate to the front of the board, using the serial port screws, making sure
that it is the right way around (the brushed surface goes outwards).
12. Attach the cover plate to the case using the black M3 x6 hex screws.
13. Connect power plug to header on front right corner of board.
14. Replace the top of the case and tighten the screws.
Step 2
Configure and install a Compact Flash card
To use your rack mount nuxV 1600, you will need to have either a CF card or a 2.5” hard
drive with a suitable operating system installed. To install a hard drive, refer to Step 1.
If your CF card does not already have an operating system installed, you can either mount the
CF card in another machine (e.g. via a flash card reader or a CF to IDE adapter) and copy a
boot image onto it, or pxe or USB boot the board. The nuxV 1600 boards support many
operating systems including BSD, Linux and a number of proprietary operating systems.
Installation
Insert the CF card into the socket, label up. Ensure the CF card is fully engaged in the socket.
The card should not extend past the edge of the board.
Removal
To remove the CF card from the board, grasp the CF card firmly between thumb and index
finger and pull straight out, taking care not to lift or twist the card as this may damage the
connector pins.
Depending on the combination of Compact Flash card and hard drive that you have installed,
you'll need to adjust the onboard jumpers, adjacent to the CF card slot for optimal
performance. Please refer to the manufacturer's guide for further information:

Step 3
Install the miniPCI card(s) (optional)
You will need to remove the hard drive mounting plate first, following the instructions above
in Step 1 (Installing the boards) in reverse.
Insert your miniPCI card into the miniPCI slot at an angle of about 45° to the board. If you
are installing a radio card, attach the u.fl end of the pigtails to the connectors on the wireless
card. Ensure that the card is firmly seated in the slot and then lay it onto the board, pressing
down until the locking tabs on either side of the card click into place.
