Installation Steps
Before using your computer, you must follow the six steps as follows:
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 con-
nect 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 graphically 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 motheboards and components contain very
delicate Integrated Circuit (IC) chips.
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 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.
