SSD Installation
An NV Me SSD has been pre-installed for all versions of ODYSSEY X86, while, still, the M.2 M-Key 2242/2280(PCIe 3.0 x4) allows you to replace it with the SSD you desire. 

WIFI Module Installation
All versions of ODYSSEY X86 have installed 2230 Dual Band WIFI AX201 Module at M.2 E-Key 2242/2280(PCIe 3.0×4). If you want to replace the pre-installed WIFI
Module, feel free to follow the steps below.
Step 1. Remove the SSD from M.2 M-Key slot.
Step 2. Take off the WIFI antenna cable and remove the pre-installed WIFI Module from M.2 E-Key.

Step 3. Install the new WIFI Module and connect the WIFI antenna cable back to it.
Step 4. Install the SSD back to M.2 M-Key.

For this part, we will introduce the interface connection of ODYSSEY X86. There are two versions of ODYSSEY X86. Please note that different versions might have different interfaces.

Display Connection
There are three methods for ODYSSEY X86 to connect to a display while the third method is only for High-performing versions.
Method 1. HDMI Port、
Method 2. DP Port

Keyboard and Mouse Connection
Connect keyboard and mouse through USB ports. There is one USB 3.2 port and one USB 2.0 port for Basic versions while there are one USB 3.2 port and two USB 2.0 ports for High-performing versions. Basic version

Audio Connection
For Basic versions, the Audio Jack is on the left side I/O panel, while, for High-performing versions, it’s on the right side I/O panel for High-performing versions

Power Connection
There are two methods to power up ODYSSEY X86, and the second one is only for High-performing versions.
Method 1. Simply connect the AC-DC power adapter (included in the product box) with the AC power cord (Out of the product box but still in the package), then connect it to 12V DC Jack of ODYSSEY X86.
Method 2. Connect USB Type-C charging cable (Not included in ODYSSEY X86) to the Thunderbolt 4 USB Type-C port (This port is only available with  High- performing versions)

Operation System Installation
For all versions of ODYSSEY X86, Windows 10 Enterprise (Unactuated) has been preinstalled, you can simply boot it up and activate the OS. However,  ODYSSEY X86 still supports another Windows OS and, also, Linux OS, so you can cover the preinstalled OS with the one you want.

FCC Statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which  can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following  measures:

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Caution: Any changes or modifications to this device not explicitly approved by the manufacturer could void your authority to operate this equipment.
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference,  and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

RF Exposure Information
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20cm between the radiator and your body.
This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

This device is intended only for OEM integrators under the following conditions:

1. The antenna must be installed such that 20cm is maintained between the antenna and users, and
2. The transmitter module may not be co-located with any other transmitter or antenna.

The internal antenna and external rod antenna have been approved for the modular. The maximum antenna gain is 2.13dBi (BT/2.4G Wi-Fi Antenna 1 & 2: External Antenna) & 1.57dBi (5.2G & 5.8G Wi-Fi Antenna 1 & 2: External Antenna). For situations where the host manufacturer is responsible for an external connector, the integration instructions shall inform the installer that a unique antenna connector must be used on Part 15 authorized transmitters used in the host product.
Important Note: In the event that these conditions cannot be met (for example certain laptop configurations or co-location with another transmitter), then the  FCC authorization is no longer considered valid and the FCC ID cannot be used on the final product. In these circumstances, the OEM integrator will be responsible for re-evaluating the end product (including the transmitter) and obtaining a separate FCC authorization.
Any company of the host device which installs this modular with limit modular approval should perform the test of radiated emission and spurious emission according to FCC part 15C: 15.247 and  15.407 requirements, only if the test result complies with FCC part 15.247 and 15.407 requirement, then the host can be sold legally.

End Product Labeling
If the FCC identification number is not visible when the module is installed inside another device, then the outside of the device into which the module is installed must also display a label referring to the enclosed module. This exterior label can use wording such as the following: Contains Transmitter Module FCC  ID: Z4T-ODYSSEY-A.

Manual Information to the End-User
The OEM integrator has to be aware not to provide information to the end-user regarding how to install or remove this RF module in the user’s manual of the end product which integrates this module.
The end-user manual shall include all required regulatory information/warning as shown in this manual.
The modular is not intended to be fielded serviceable as, without shielding, the host manufacturer must be considered shielding when integrating a module.
When the module is installed inside another device, the user manual of this device must contain below warning statements;
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
