ASUS Tinker System 2 is an Embedded Computer based on the Tinker
Board 2S. Refer to the Layout contents table for the page numbers of thenumbered items.
WARNING!
•	Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any
components.
•	Before handling components, use a grounded wrist strap or toucha safely grounded object or a metal object, such as the power
supply case, to avoid damaging them due to static electricity.
•	Hold components by the edges to avoid touching the ICs on them.
•	Whenever you uninstall a component, place it on a grounded antistatic pad or in the bag that came with the component.
•	Before you install or remove any component, ensure that thepower supply is switched off or the power cord is detached fromthe power supply. Failure to do so may cause severe damage tothe single board computer, peripherals, or components.

WARNING!
•	Do not use both the system DC power-in jack and the 40-pin GPIO
+5V pins (pin 2 and 4, red) for power input at the same time.
•	If you wish to use the 40-pin GPIO +5V (pin 2 and 4, red) as a
power input source, please make sure the power input rating foreach pin complies with the standard of +5V / 3A (+/-5% deviation).
A power rating value that exceeds the rating valued mentioned, oran unstable power source may result in damage to your system or
hardware. Please refer to the Top view illustration for the locationof the pins.
