Category: FAQs of EGLOBAL Mini PC

1. When you connect the PC with power if the indicator light is on?

The indicator light is off, you should change a new power adapter to test;

The indicator light is on, you should check the RAM, pull and plug it to test.

2. Pls remove the CMOS battery and re-install it to test

Please unplug power, open chassis and pull out of Ram, use clean cloths wipe golden plug of Ram, and pull out of CMOS button battery, wait a few seconds, then reinstall battery and Ram, remember plug ram deep into slot completely. Then plug the power and check again with VGA and HDMI ports.

* If the power indicator light is off, firstly please change a new power adapter to test. If it can’t solve, then you unplug power, open the chassis and pull out of CMOS button battery, wait a few seconds, then reinstall the battery.

* If the power indicator light is on but nothing on screen, please unplug power, open chassis and pull out of Ram, use clean cloths wipe golden plug of Ram, then reinstall the Ram, remember plug ram deep into slot completely. Then plug the power and check again with VGA and HDMI ports.

3.How to install OEM OS on the Skylake PC:

1)Please download the win10 64bits image on the Microsoft official site(easy to find elsewhere too) or found in USB stick we offered if included. Then prepare an empty USB stick, download a USB bootable tool and make a Windows 10 ISO device from the following link:

2)Format hard drive and burn win10 into a hard drive with bootable ISO USB stick. Close windows update online function.

3)Download and install all skylake win10 64bits drivers from the following link or use drivers in USB stick we offered:

Please make sure windows update keeping closed. This is very important because new win10 update files are incompatible with graphics HD 520 drivers temporarily.

4) Please download the activation tool KMSpico from the following link:

https://my.pcloud.com/publink/show?code=XZxYNMZjqCwhDieTO4srqGq2JTA0FOO7dry

Run KMSpico exe in case of antivirus software and windows defender or firewall closed, if system report Trojan, just ignores and don’t mind.

If your pc can’t into the system like this back screen, pls dont worry, You just need setup in the bios

1:Press Ctrl + Alt + Del to restart the pc,then press ESC into the bios, you will see the picture

2: Pls find the “Boot” option

3:Setup the first boot option #1 “windows boot manger……”

4: After “yes”,pls press F10 to save the setup, then the mini pc will restart, and into the windows

power on PC, and press F2 into bios setup display

Go to “boot” option , make  sure “auto power on” is enabled

Finished  setup,  press F10 to save configuration

First, a quick note about SSDs – they’re fast. So fast in fact, their limiting factor is not their own hardware, but rather the SATA III connection that hard drives have traditionally used. Enter NVMe. Standing for “Non-Volatile Memory Express,” NVMe is an open standard developed to allow modern SSDs to operate at the read/write speeds their flash memory is capable of. Essentially, it allows flash memory to operate as an SSD directly through the PCIe interface rather than going through SATA and being limited by the slower SATA speeds.  Put another way, it’s a description of the bus the component uses to communicate with the PC, not a new type of flash memory. It is also unrelated to the form factor, which is why NVMe drives can come in both M.2 or PCIe card form factors. With both form factors, the component is connecting electrically to the PC via PCIe rather than SATA. Yes, it’s confusing, but stick with us.

When you buy a new SSD, it uses either the SATA or NVMe interface to connect to your computer. Traditional SATA SSDs use the 2.5″ form factor, as seen in the picture below.

What is M.2?

M.2 is a form factor that spells out the physical size and shape of the card that can be plugged into an M.2 slot. This form factor has been designed to maximize space while minimizing the footprint. The M.2 slot is rectangular, with possible widths of 12, 16, 22, or 30 millimeters. Most M.2 solid-state drives are 22 millimeters wide. Lengths can also vary: 16, 26, 30, 38, 42, 60, 80, or 110 millimeters.

Most computer motherboards accommodate a variety of lengths for M.2 slots. At the same time, the width tends to be fixed on each motherboard, usually 22 millimeters wide. The M.2 slots on a motherboard can communicate with the rest of the PC using different interfaces/standards, including PCI Express (used by NVMe) or SATA, used by traditional SSDs.

Each motherboard has a different number of M.2 slots with different specifications.

Step 1: Prepare the 2.5” SATA HDD/SSD, SATA cable, power supply cable, screwdriver(M3) and the mini pc M8-N3160.

Step 2: Connect the SATA cable and power suplly cable to the motherboard for stand-by.

Step 3: Remove the bracket for installing the HDD/SSD for stand-by.

Step 4: Install the HDD/SSD to the bracket and fix the HDD/SSD to the bottom cover of the chassis.

Step 5: Connect the HDD/SSD to the motherboard by the SATA cable.

Step 6: Fix the bottom cover to the case.
