Handling and Installing SBC

Caution: Do not just hold any single side of the SBC; hold evenly on both sides!

zHeavy processor cooler may bend the SBC when SBC being held just on one side.

zThe bending may cause soldering or components damaged.

Fix your SBC in System

Caution: Suggest your S.I or vendor to use a metal bracket to hold/fix the desktop or server grade SBC to avoid the vibration damage during

transportation. Heavy processor cooler may bend the SBC when systems are during transportation without any holder.

Example:

z4U chassis :

ÎUse Ltype mental or plastic or rubber bracket to hold SBC.

ROBO-8122VG2R

z2U or 1U chassis: a mental bracket on the bottom of chassis to balance and support SBC from bending.

1Introduction

ROBO-8122VG2R, a non-standard PICMG 1.3 Single Host Board (SHB) with the Intel Server grade Xeon E5-2600Lv3 and v4 series processors. Portwell's

ROBO-8122VG2R implements flexible PCI Express Gen 3 expansion by one PCI Express x16 or two PCI Express x 8 or one PCI Express x8 and two PCI

Express x4 from each processor, which is ideal for a range of applications, such as Data Center, Military.

ROBO-8122VG2R adopt Intel C612 PCH. Providing up to 256GB DDR4 RDIMM system memory capacity on right long DIMM sockets. ROBO-8122VG2R build

with Intel® Haswell-EP/Broadwell-EP E5-2600Lv3 and v4 processor family features, and with on-board ASPEED AST1400 GPU to generate for 2D performance.

It supports only VGAoutput on bracket. It supports four SATAIII ports, which two are on board and the others are on backplane. Besides, it also supports six

USB ports (dual USB 3.0 ports on board and four USB 2.0 on backplane), and one Gigabit Ethernet.

The dimension of ROBO-8122VG2R is defined the same as standard PICMG 1.3 SHB, but w/the different golden finger pin definition on section D. It can

provide customers 2nd PCIEx16 lanes route to backplane to save the PCIE switch cost. For Data Center storage application, the system emphasizes not only
