Hardware Configuration

The information provided in this chapter includes:

• Essential installations before you begin: memory and HDD
• Expansion card, antenna, fan, and wall mount installation

2.1 Essential Installations Before You Begin
2.1.1 Memory Installation
There are 2 memory slots inside the device. If you need to install or replace a memory module, disassemble the device cover first and then follow the instructions below for installation.

1. Loosen 8 srews from the device cover and remove the cover.
   

2. Press the ejector tab of the memory slot down and outwards with your fingertips.

3. Hold the memory module and align the key of the module with that on the memory slot.

4. Gently push the module in an upright position until the ejector tabs of the memory slot close to hold the module in place when the module touches the bottom of the slot.
   To remove the module, press the ejector tabs outwards with your fingertips to eject the module.

2.1.2 HDD Installation

If you are using a model type of CMI212 System that doesn’t include an HDD, you will need to install one. Follow the instructions below for HDD installation or replacement. Loosen 4 screws to open the tray up. Loosen another 4 screws to attach your HDD, tighten the screws to fix the HDD, and connect the related cables to the motherboard.

Close and secure the tray back.

2.1.3 WiFi / 3G / 4G Antenna Installation
Thread the WiFi / 3G / 4G antenna extension cable through an antenna hole of the front I/O cover and fasten the antenna as shown below. Then apply adhesive to the edge of the hex nut behind the front I/O cover to prevent the extension cable from falling if the cable becomes loose.

1.  Thread and fasten the hex nut and the washer. Then install the antenna.
2. Apply adhesive around here.

Info: The diameter of the nut is around 6.35 mm (0.25”-36UNC).

2.2 PCIe (x16) Expansion Card Installation

1. Loosen 8 srews from the device cover and remove the cover.
   

2. Release a screw to remove a small plate and another screw(s) to take out the expansion slot filler. Then install your PCIe (x16) expansion card slantwise.
   

3. Fix the card by tightening the screws mentioned above.
   After installation, tighten 8 screws mentioned in Step 1 to secure the device cover.

2.3 Fan Replacement

1.  Loosen 8 srews from the device cover and remove the cover.
   

2. Release 4 screws for a fan for replacement and tighten the screws after installation.
   After installation, tighten the 6 screws mentioned in Step 1 to secure the device cover.

2.4 Mounting Brackets Installation
Note: Before mounting the system on the wall, ensure that you are following all applicable building and electric codes.

Requirements
When mounting, ensure that you have enough room for power and signal cable routing. And have good ventilation for power adapter. The method of mounting must be able to support the weight of the CMI212 System plus the suspended weight of all the cables to be attached to the system. Use the following methods for mounting your system:

Selecting the Location
Plan the mounting location thoroughly. Locations such as walkway areas, hallways, and crowded areas are not recommended. Mount the product to a flat, sturdy, structurally sound column or wall surface.
The best mounting surface is a standard countertop, cabinet, table, or other structure that is minimally the width and length of the product. This will reduce the risk that someone may accidentally wall into and damage the product. Local laws governing the safety of individuals might require this type of consideration.
Selecting the type of wall construction

1. Mounting on a hollow wall

• Wood surface
  Use construction-grade wood and the recommended minimum thickness is 38 x 25.4 mm (1.5” x 10”).

Note: This method provides the most reliable attachment for the product with little risk that the product may come loose or require ongoing maintenance.

• Drywall
  Drywall over wood studs is acceptable.

2. Mounting on a solid concrete or brick wall with flat and smooth surface

Wall Mount Installation instructions:

1. Attach the mounting brackets to your CMI212 System, and secure with the supplied six screws as below.
   

2. Prepare at least four screws (M3, 6 mm) to mount the device on wall.
   

You can install CMI212 System on plastic (LCD monitor), wood, drywall surface over studs, or a solid concrete or metal plane directly. The types of fasteners required are dependent on the type of wall construction. Fasteners are not supplied in the product package. You will need to prepare the fasteners. Choose fasteners that are rated either Medium Duty or Heavy Duty. To assure proper fastener selection and installation, follow the fastener manufacturer’s recommendations.
