Safety Precautions
Before getting started, please read the following important safety precautions.
1.
The IPC934-230-FL Series does not come equipped with an operating
system. An operating system must be loaded first before installing any
software into the computer.
2.
Be sure to ground yourself to prevent static charge when installing the
internal components. Use a grounding wrist strap and place all electronic
components in any static-shielded devices. Most electronic components are
sensitive to static electrical charge.
3.
Disconnect the power cord from the IPC934-230-FL Series before making
any installation. Be sure both the system and the external devices are turned
OFF. Sudden surge of power could ruin sensitive components. Make sure the
IPC934-230-FL Series is properly grounded.
4.
Make sure the voltage of the power source is correct before connecting the
equipment to the power outlet.
5.
Turn OFF the system power before cleaning. Clean the system using a cloth
only. Do not spray any liquid cleaner directly onto the screen.
6.
Do not leave this equipment in an uncontrolled environment where the
storage temperature is below -20℃ or above 80℃. It may damage the
equipment.
7.
Do not open the system’s back cover. If opening the cover for maintenance
is a must, only a trained technician is a llowed to do so. Integrated circuits on
computer boards are sensitive to static electricity. To avoid damaging chips
from electrostatic discharge, observe the following precautions:

Before handling a board or integrated circuit, touch an unpainted
portion of the system unit chassis for a few seconds. This will help to
discharge any static electricity on your body.

W hen handling boards and components, wear a wrist -grounding strap,
available from most electronic component stores .

General Cleaning Tips
You may need the following precautions before you begin to clean the computer .
W hen you clean any single part or component for the com puter, please read and
understand the details below fully.
W hen you need to clean the device, please rub it with a piece of dry cloth.
1.
Be cautious of the tiny removable components when you use a vacuum cleaner
to absorb the dirt on the floor.
2.
Turn the system off before you start to clean up the component or computer.
3.
Never drop the components inside the computer or get circuit board damp or
wet.
4.
Be cautious of all kinds of cleaning solvents or chemicals when you us e it for
the sake of cleaning. Some individuals may be allergic to the ingredients.
5.
Try not to put any food, drink or cigarette around the computer.
iv
Cleaning Tools:
Although many companies have created products to help improve the process of
cleaning your computer and peripherals users can also use household items to clean
their computers and peripherals. Below is a listing of items you may need or want to
use while cleaning your computer or computer peripherals.
Keep in mind that some components in your computer may only be able to be
cleaned using a product designed for cleaning that component, if this is the case it
will be mentioned in the cleaning.

Cloth: A piece of cloth is the best tool to use when rubbing up a component.
Although paper towels or tissues can be used on most hardware as well, we
still recommend you to rub it with a piece of cloth .

W ater or rubbing alcohol: You may moisten a piece of cloth a bit with some
water or rubbing alcohol and rub it on the computer. Unknown solvents may
be harmful to the plastics parts.

Vacuum cleaner: Absorb the dust, dirt, hair, cigarette particles, and other
particles out of a computer can be one of the best methods of cleaning a
computer. Over time these items can restrict the airflow in a computer and
cause circuitry to corrode.

Cotton swabs: Cotton swaps moistened with rubbing alcohol or water are
excellent tools for wiping hard to reach areas in your keyboard, mouse, and
other locations.

Foam swabs: W henever possible it is better to use lint free swabs su ch as
foam swabs.
Note: It is strongly recommended that you should shut down the system before you
start to clean any single components.
Please follow the steps below:
1.
Close all application programs
2.
Close operating software
3.
Turn off power switch
4.
Remove all device
5.
Pull out power cable
v
Scrap Computer Recycling
If the computer equipments need the maintenance or are beyond repair, we strongly
recommended that you should inform your Axiomtek distributor as soon as possible for the
suitable solution. For the computers that are no longer useful or no longer working well, please
contact your Axiomtek distributor for recycling and we will make the proper arrangement.

CHAPTER 2
HARDWARE INSTALLATION
The IPC934-230-FL Series are convenient for your various hardware configurations,
such as CPU (Central Processing Unit), Memory Module, HDD (Hard Disk Drive) and
PCIe card. The chapter 2 will show you how to install the hardware. It includes:
2.1
Installing the Processor
The Intel ® Core™ i7/i5/i3 processors are available as a boxed processor for IPC934230-FL system. Intel recommends the processors should be installed by a computer
professional since this electronic device may cause serious damage to the installer,
system and processor if installed improperly.
Important Notes Before attempting to install a new processor, carefully review the
documentation that came with your system and make sure that you will not be voiding
your warranty by opening the computer or replacing your proce ssor.
Instructions:
®
1.
Make sure that your system can accommodate the Intel
Core™
®
i7/i5/i3/Celeron Processors that you want to install. Check for CPU Card, BIOS,
and thermal compatibility by using the manufacturer's documentation for the
system, or by contacting the vendor if necessary. This processor should only be
®
®
installed in systems supporting the Intel Core ™ i7/i5/i3/Celeron Processors.
2.
Obtain access to your processor socket as described in the documentation for
your system.
3.
If the cooling solution prevents you from accessing the processor socket, you
may need to remove it. Instructions on how to remove your cooling solution
should be provided in the documentation that came with the system.

CHAPTER 3
AMI BIOS UTILITY
The AMI UEFI BIOS provides users with a built-in setup program to modify basic
system configuration. All configured parameters are stored in a 16MB flash chip to
save the setup information whenever the power is turned off. This chapter provides
users with detailed description about how to set up basic system configuration
through the AMI BIOS setup utility.
3.1
Starting
