To protect the motherboard and other components against damage from static electricity, you should follow some precautions whenever you work on your computer. 1. Unplug your computer when working on the inside. 2. Hold components by the edges and try not to touch the IC chips, leads, or circuitry. 3. Use a grounded wrist strap or touch a grounded source to discharge any static electricity before handling computer components. 4. Place components on a grounded antistatic pad or on the bag that came with the component whenever the components are separated from the system. 14 ASUS KN97-X User's Manual

Installation Steps
Before using your computer, you must complete the following steps:
1.
Set Jumpers on the Motherboard
2.
Install DRAM Modules
3.
Install the Central Processing Unit (CPU)
4.
Install Expansion Cards
5.
Connect Ribbon Cables, Cabinet Wires, and Power Supply
6.
Setup the BIOS Software
1. Jumpers
Several hardware settings are made through the use of jumper caps to connect jumper
pins (JP) on the motherboard.
See “Map of the Motherboard” on page 4 for locations
of jumpers.
The jumper settings will be described numerically such as [----], [1-2],
[2-3] for no connection, connect pins 1&2, and connect pins 2&3 respectively.
Pin 1
for our motherboards is always on top
Pin 1
or on the left
Pin 1
when holding the
motherboard with the keyboard connector away from yourself.
A “1” is written
besides pin 1 on jumpers with three pins.
The jumpers will also be shown graphi-
cally such as
to connect pins 1&2 and
to connect pins 2&3.
Jumpers
with two pins will be shown as
for Short (On) and
for Open (Off).
For
manufacturing simplicity, the jumpers may be sharing pins from other groups.
Use
the diagrams in this manual instead of following the pin layout on the board.
Settings
with two jumper numbers require that both jumpers be moved together.
To connect
the pins, simply place a plastic jumper cap over the two pins as diagramed.
WARNING:
Computer motherboards and components contain very delicate
Integrated Circuit (IC) chips.
To protect the motherboard and other compo-
nents against damage from static electricity, you should follow some precau-
tions whenever you work on your computer.
1.
Unplug your computer when working on the inside.
2.
Hold components by the edges and try not to touch the IC chips, leads, or
circuitry.
3.
Use a grounded wrist strap or touch a grounded source to discharge any
static electricity before handling computer components.
4.
Place components on a grounded antistatic pad or on the bag that came with
the component whenever the components are separated from the system.
