Hardware Setup
Preparing the Hardware Installation
To access some components and perform certain service
procedures, you must perform the following procedures
first.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury,
electric shock, or damage to the equipment,
remove the power cord to remove power from the
system. The front panel Power On/Standby button
does not completely shut off system power.
Portions of the power supply and some internal
circuitry remain active until AC power is removed.
Unpower the FW-8760 and remove the power cord. 1.
Unscrew the 3 threaded screws from the top cover of 2.
the FW-8760 System.
Slide the cover backwards and lift the cover upwards 3.
to open the case.
Installing the System Memory
The motherboard supports DDR3 memory that features
data transfer rates of 1066 and 1333 MHz to meet the
higher bandwidth requirements of the latest operating
system and Internet applications. It comes with two
channels and two Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMM)
for each channel of Double Data Rate(DDR3) sockets.
Open the DIMM slot latches. 1.
Install the DIMM. 2.
Note:
1. Since the system is capable of Dual Channel
Architecture, some installation guidelines have to
be met to enable Dual Channel mode as directed.
Insert the DDR3 memory into socket J1 for a •
single memory .
To insert two DIMMs on the system, insert •
DIMMS on slot J1 and J3 (blue).
And use slot J2 and J4 (black) for the •
additional DIMMS. (Use slot J2 and then slot J4
in sequence if more than one slot is required.)
All DIMMs installed must be the same speed 2.
(DDR31066 or 1333). Do not install DIMMs
supporting different speeds.
The motherboards can support up to 16 GB 3.
memory capacity in maximum. However, due
to the memory address limitation on 32-bit
Windows OS, when you install 4GB or more
memory on the motherboard, the actual usable
memory for the OS can be about 3GB or less. For
effective use of memory, we recommend that you
do any of the following:
Use a maximum of 3GB system memory if you are
using a 32-bit Windows OS.
OR
Install a 64-bit Windows OS when you want to
install 4GB or more on the motherboard.
For more details, refer to the Microsoft© support
site.
Installing the Hard Disk
The system can accommodate two Serial-ATA disks. Follow
these steps to install a hard disk into the FW-8760:
Unscrew the 4 screws on the hard disk tray to take out 1.
the hard disk tray from the system.
Place hard disk on the hard disk tray and align the holes
2.
of the hard disk with the mounting holes on the tray.
Secure the hard disk with 4 mounting screws on the
3.
hard disk tray.
Connect the Serial-ATA power and hard disk cables
4.
to the hard disk’s power and drive connectors
respectively.
Plug the Serial-ATA cable to the Serial-ATA Connector
5.
on the main board.
Repeat steps 2 to 5 to install a second disk (if there is
6.
one).
Put the hard disk tray with the installed hard disk back
7.
to the system and secure it with the mounting screws.
