Installing the battery pack 1. Overturn the EM-220 so that the bottom is facing up toward you, as shown in the right. Slide the battery release latch to the unlock position. 2. Align EM-220 battery compartment pins to the battery connector. Slightly slide and press the battery pack into the compartment until the battery lock switch is bounced back. 3. As shown in the right, slide the battery release latch to the lock position.
Charging the battery pack Plug the AC adapter power cord into an electrical outlet, then connect the DC plug of the adapter cable to the EM-220. It takes approximately 2–4 hours to fully charge the battery for the first time. Subsequent charges might take longer. Charge the battery within a temperature range 0˚C to 45˚C. NOTE To protect and prolong the life of the battery, do not charge it for 24 hours or longer at a time.
Powering on The power button located on the left side of the EM-220, press the power button the turn it on. To force power off , long press the power button for 4~5 seconds.
CHAPTER 2 BIOS SETUP The primary function of the BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) is to identify and initiate component hardware. The BIOS parameters are stored in non-volatile BIOS memory (CMOS). CMOS contents don’t get erased when the computer is turned off. The following topics are described in this chapter.
Entering the Setup Utility When you power on the system, BIOS enters the Power-On Self Test (POST) routines. POST is a series of built-in diagnostics performed by the BIOS. After the POST routines are completed, the following message appears: Press DEL to run Setup Press the delete key to access the BIOS Setup Utility: Figure 2.1 Main BIOS screen BIOS navigation keys The BIOS navigation keys are listed below.
Using BIOS When you start the Setup Utility, the main screen appears. The main screen of the Setup Utility displays a list of the options that are available. A highlight indicates which option is currently selected. Use the cursor arrow keys to move the highlight to other options. When an option is highlighted, execute the option by pressing . Some options lead to pop-up dialog boxes that prompt you to verify that you wish to execute that option.
Main Screen This screen includes System BIOS Information, Processor, System memory and displays the System Time and System Date. Figure 2.2 Main Screen System Overview This screen displays System BIOS Information, Processor, System memory, System Time and System Date. System Time/ System Date The System Time and System Date items show the current date and time held by the machine.
Advanced Settings This setup screen includes sub-menus for IDE Configuration, USB Configuration, ACPI Configurations, MPS Configurations, Super IO Configurations and Hardware Health Configuration. Figure 2.3 Advanced Settings Screen ALL ON/ALL OFF/Customize This item allows users to on/off expansion modules. [All On] Enable BT, WLAN, WWAN, G Sensor, Front Camera and Rear Camera. [All Off] Disable BT, WLAN, WWAN, G Sensor, Front Camera and Rear Camera. [Customize] Set each module separately.
IDE Configuration Figure 2.4 IDE Configuration sub-menu ATA/IDE Configuration This item allows users to specific the integrated IDE controller. [Disabled] disables the integrated IDE controller. [Compatible] enables up to two IDE channels for operating systems requiring legacy IDE operation. [Enhanced] enables all SATA and PATA resources.
General ACPI Configuration Figure 2.5 General ACPI Configuration sub-menu Suspend mode Use this item to define how the system suspends. In the default, S1(POS), the suspend mode is equivalent to a software power down. If you select S3(STR), the suspend mode is a suspend to RAM - the system shuts down with the exception of a refresh current to the system memory. Wake-On-Lan (WOL) This feature allows the system to be woken up by a network message.
USB Configuration Figure 2.6 USB Configuration sub-menu USB 2.0 Controller Mode This item allows you to specific the USB 2.0 controller in HiSpeed (480Mbps) or Full Speed (12Mbps).
Boot Settings This screen allow you to configure the boot options. Figure 2.
Boot Settings Configuration Figure 2.8 Boot Settings Configuration sub-menu Quick Boot Enabling this setting will cause the BIOS power-on self test routine to skip some of its tests during booting for faster system boot. Quiet Boot When enabled, system will boot without message. In contrast, when disabled, system will boot in text mode. Bootup Num-Lock This setting is to set the Num Lock status when the system is powered on. Setting to [On] will turn on the Num Lock key when the system is powered on.
Boot Device Priority Use this screen to specify the order in which the system checks for the device to boot from. Figure 2.9 Boot Device Priority sub-menu 1st Boot Device 2nd Boot Device Set the boot device options to determine the sequence in which the computer checks which device to boot from.
Hard Disk Drives Use this screen to specify the boot sequence from hard disk drives. Figure 2.10 Hard Disk Drives sub-menu 1st Drive Use this item to view the hard disk drives in the system.
Network Drives Use this screen to specify the boot sequence from network drives. Figure 2.11 Network Drives sub-menu 1st Drive Use this item to view the network drives in the system.
Security Settings This screen allows you to configure the system security settings. Figure 2.12 Security Settings screen Supervisor/ User Password Indicates whether a password has been set. If the password has been installed, Installed displays. If not, Not Installed displays. Set Supervisor Password This item is used to establish password protection when entering the BIOS setup.
Chipset Settings This screen allow you to configure the North Bridge and South Bridge chipset options. Figure 2.
North Bridge Chipset Configuration Figure 2.14 North Bridge Chipset Configuration sub-menu Internal Graphics Mode Select This feature controls the amount of system memory that is allocated to the integrated graphic process when the system boot up. Boot Display Device If you connect an external display to this machine, you can use this setting to turn off the LCD and only use the external display. To use dual displays this must be set to CRT+LVDS.
Exit Menu This screen allows you to load the optimal default values, and save or discard changes. Figure 2.15 Exit Menu screen Exit Saving Changes Highlight this item and press to save the changes that you have made in the Setup Utility and exit the Setup Utility. When the dialog box appears, press to save and exit, or press to return to the menu.

CHAPTER 3 UPGRADING COMPONENTS This chapter describes how to upgrade components for the EM-220. The following topics are described. • • • • • Safety and precautions on page 29 Before you begin on page 30 Upgrading the hard drive on page 31 Upgrading the memory module on page 33 Upgrading the Mini-PCIE card on page 34 Safety and precautions Computer components and electronic circuit boards can be damaged by discharges of static electricity.
Before you begin Make sure you have a stable, clean working environment. Dust and dirt can get into components and may cause malfunction. Adequate lighting and proper tools can prevent you from accidentally damaging the internal components. Most of the electrical and mechanical connections can be disconnected by using your fingers. It is recommended that you do not use needle-nosed pliers to disconnect connectors as these can damage the soft metal or plastic parts of the connectors.
