Warning!
When connecting the north bridge and south bridge boards of the EPM-32, you
must be sure that sockets JN5 and JN6 on the north bridge board mate perfectly
with headers JS2 and JS3 of the south bridge board. Failure to connect the boards
properly could cause serious damage and void the warranty.
To connect the north and south bridge boards of the EPM-32, follow this procedure:
1.
Attach all four 5mm x 15mm standoffs to the top of the south bridge board using the
provided screws.
2.
Hold the boards so that sockets JN5 and JN6 are aligned with headers JS2 and JS3, and
the standoffs are aligned with the holes of the north bridge board.
3.
Lower the north bridge board over the standoffs while visually aligning sockets JN5 and
JN6 with headers JS2 and JS3. Make sure the pins match the sockets perfectly before
applying the pressure required to seat the connectors.
4.
Secure standoffs to the north bridge board with the provided hex nuts.
