Installation and Maintenance 4.1 Install Hardware FPC-3131 is constructed based on modular design to make it easy for users to add hardware or to maintain the computer. The following sections will guide you through simple hardware installations. 4.1.1 Remove Top Cover Turn off the computer. Unscrew the screws securing the top cover with crosshead screwdriver. Retain them safely for later use, so do other components we are going to remove. And then, unclinch top cover with tool as illustration.
Installation and Maintenance 4.1.2 Install Memory Module side notch side notch key notch The main board has one dual inline memory module (DIMM) socket. Load the computer with a memory module of higher capacity to make programs run faster. The memory module for the computer’s SO-DIMM socket should be a 204-pin DDR3 with a “key notch” off the centre among the pins. There are another two notches at left and right sides of the memory module to help fix the module in the socket.
Installation and Maintenance 4.1.3 Install HDD or SSD 1. Find HDD bracket on main board. Unscrew its four corners where red circles locate. Carefully draw out the bracket as arrow directs. 2. Mount HDD on bracket and lock it. 3. Fully insert the bracket into driver bay and secure its corners.
Installation and Maintenance 4.1.4 Install WiFi or HSUPA Modules (optional) The computer also comes with a Mini-card socket for WiFi (WIFI-IN1300) or HSUPA (HSPA-SI1400) module. See Section 1.5.1 Optional Accessories on page 5 and contact your regional dealer to order these modules. HSPA-SI1400 HSUPA 3.
Installation and Maintenance 2. Push the CFast/SIM card into their slots to the end according to installation illustration beside slots. Close the card door and secure the screw. CFast card SIM card 3. To uninstall the CFast/SIM card, just push inwardly to eject them.
Installation and Maintenance 4.2 Mount the Computer Integrate the computer to where it works by mounting it to a wall in the surroundings or to the rear of a display monitor or to DIN rail, which relies on VMK-3100, DRK-001 or WMK-3100 in optional accessories list.

Appendix Appendix C: HSUPA or WiFi Module Hardware Installation To be able to network with 3G, hardware-wise the computer needs the HSUPA module HSPA-SI1400 installed and a SIM card inserted (as described in Section 4.1.5 Install SIM or CFast Card on page 31). To use WiFi connection, the WiFi module HIFI-IN1300 should be installed instead. This section will guide you through hardware installation, and see next section for software and application installation. 1.
Appendix 3. Plug WiFi or HSUPA card to the socket’s connector by a slanted angle. Fully plug the module. Note the notch on the wireless module should meet the break of the connector. 4. Press down the module and fix the module in place using two screws. Remove the plastic plug from the computer’s front panel to create an antenna hole. Keep the plastic plug for possible restoration in the future.
Appendix 5. Prepare RF cable, washer, nut included in WiFi or HSUPA module. The cable has an SMA connector on one end and an MHF connector on the other. SMA connector MHF connector washer nut 6. Connect RF cable’s MHF connector to the WiFi module’s “MAIN” connector. 7. Remove the washer and the nut from the other end of the RF cable, which is an SMA connector. Save the washer and nut for later use. Note the SMA connector has the form of a threaded bolt, with one flat side. Remove the nut and washer.
Appendix 8. Push the SMA connector through the above mentioned antenna hole. Note to meet the aforesaid flat side with the antenna hole’s flat side at the bottom. Mount the washer first and then the nut to the SMA connector. Make sure the nut is tightened. washer nut 10. Have an external antenna. Screw and tightly fasten the antenna to the SMA connector. Swivel the antenna to an angle of best signals.
Appendix Appendix D: HSUPA or WiFi Module Software & Application Installation This section will guide you to install HSUPA & WiFi modules’ drivers and application programs. To have a copy of the device driver, contact ARBOR customer service by the contact info described in Technical Support on page vi.
