Upgrading Hardware
Warning
Before attempting any upgrade to the VARIO L3 computer, please read the section "
Precautions
".
For your personal safety it is important that you ensure that the unit is switched off, and the DC supply is
disconnected.
For the safety of the equipment, it is important that you observe electrostatic discharge precautions. Do not
remove items from anti-static bags until necessary.
When making any internal changes to the computer, it is imperative that the internal cables follow the original
routes and additional cables are installed as described. Failure to observe this requirement could restrict the
airflow through the unit and cause overheating problems.
Upgrade Options
Due to the small footprint of the unit, there are minimal options to upgradeable. Changing the AMD CPU may
require a BIOS upgrade for the new processor to be recognised. The motherboard contains two memory sockets;
however one is on the underside of the motherboard and requires a complete strip down for access.
Before attempting any upgrades, the user should check with Blue Chip Technical support to find out if your
proposed upgrade is supported and if it will have any effect on the units‟ warranty
If a SATA Hard Drive is fitted, then possible upgrade is to fit a Disk on Module. Similarly, if a Disk on Module
is fitted then a SATA HDD could be fitted
.
Caution: Unauthorised upgrades may invalidate the warranty if they are not compatible or are not
carried out correctly and with care.
