wait for about 20 minutes until the heat radiation plate of the cooling fan
and the CPU cools down.
2. Rotate mark of screw-nut to face the “OPEN”.
3. To remove the CPU.
Note: The CPU and the heat radiation plate are hot. They may cause
burns.
To remove the CPU, reverse the installation steps.
2.1.2
Heat Sink Installation
Make sure that good contact is made between the processors and the
heat sinks & fan. Insufficient contact, incorrect types of heat sinks, fans, or
thermal compound used or improper amount of thermal compound applied
on the CPU die can cause the processors to overheat, which may crash the
system.

Installations
2.1.3
Memory Module Installation
Figure 5 display the notch marks and what they should look like on your
DIMM memory module.
DIMMs have 184-pins and two notches, that will match with the onboard
DIMM socket. DIMM modules are installed by placing the chip firmly into the
socket at a 90-degree angle and pressing straight down (figure 6) until it fits
tightly into the DIMM socket.

Figure 6: Memory Installation
11
Installations
Carefully follow the steps below in order to install the DIMMs:
1. To avoid generating static electricity and damaging the DIMM, ground
yourself by touching a grounded metal surface or using a ground scrap
before you touch the DIMM.
2. Do not touch the connector of the DIMM. Dirt residue may cause a
malfunction.
3. Hold the DIMM with its notch to the front side of the IP-4MTS6B series
and insert it completely into the socket. A DIMM should be inserted into
the inner socket first. Guiding the hole at each end of the DIMM over the
retaining post at each end of the DIMM socket.
4. If you install two DIMMs, install the second DIMM using the same
procedure as above.
5. If DIMM does not go in smoothly, do not force it. Pull it all the way out
and try again.
6. Make sure the DIMM is properly installed and locked by the tabs on both
sides of the socket.
Removing a DIMM:
To remove the DIMM, use your fingers or a small screwdriver to
carefully push away the plastic tabs that secure the DIMM at each end. Lift it
out of the socket.
Make sure you store the DIMM in an anti-static bag and must be
populated the same size and manufactory of memory modules.

Installations
2.1.4
Setting Jumpers
There are jumpers on the Embedded Board of the IP-4MTS6B series.
You can set the jumpers to make the necessary operations.
Figure 7: Jumper Connector
For any three-pins jumpers (Figure 7), the jumper setting is 1-2 when
the jumper connects pins 1 and 2. The setting is 2-3 when pins 2 and 3 are
connected and so on. You see one of the lines surrounding a jumper, which
indicates pin NO.1.
To move a jumper from one position to another, use needle-nose pliers
or tweezers to pull the pin cap off the pins and move it to the desired
position.

SECTION 3
AWARD BIOS SETUP
3.1 BIOS Instructions
Award’s ROM BIOS provides a built-in Setup program, which allows
user to modify the basic system configuration and hardware parameters.
The modified data will be stored in a battery-backed CMOS, so that data will
be retained even when the power is turned off. In general, the information
saved in the CMOS RAM will stay unchanged unless there is a configuration
change in the system, such as hard drive replacement or a device is added.
It is possible for the CMOS battery to fail, this will cause data loss in the
CMOS only. If this does happen you will need to reconfigure your BIOS
settings.
35

3.6 Advanced Chipset Features
This section allows you to configure the system based on the specific
features of the installed chipset. This chipset manages bus speeds and
access to system memory resources, such as DRAM and the external
cache. It also coordinates communications between the conventional ISA
bus and the PCI bus. It must be stated that these items should never need
to be altered. The default settings have been chosen because they provide
the best operating conditions for your system. The only time you might
consider making any changes would be if you discovered that data was
being lost while using your system.

This section describes configuring the PCI bus system. PCI, or
Personal Computer Interconnect, is a system, which allows I/O devices to
operate at speeds nearing the speed the CPU itself uses when
communicating with its own special components. This section covers some

You can set either supervisor or user password, or both of then. The
differences between are:
Set Supervisor Password: can enter and change the options of the setup
menus.
Set User Password: just can only enter but do not have the right to change
the options of the setup menus. When you select this function, the following
message will appear at the center of the screen to assist you in creating a
password.
ENTER PASSWORD:
Type the password, up to eight characters in length, and press <Enter>.
The password typed now will clear any previously entered password from
CMOS memory. You will be asked to confirm the password. Type the
password again and press <Enter>. You may also press <Esc> to abort the
selection and not enter a password.
To disable a password, just press <Enter> when you are prompted to
enter the password. A message will confirm the password will be disabled.
Once the password is disabled, the system will boot and you can enter
Setup freely.
PASSWORD DISABLED.
When a password has been enabled, you will be prompted to enter it
every time you try to enter Setup. This prevents an unauthorized person
from changing any part of your system configuration.
Additionally, when a password is enabled, you can also require the
BIOS to request a password every time your system is rebooted. This would
prevent unauthorized use of your computer.
You determine when the password is required within the BIOS Features
Setup Menu and its Security option (see Section 3). If the Security option is
set to “System”, the password will be required both at boot and at entry to
Setup. If set to “Setup”, prompting only occurs when trying to enter Setup.
