Pre-Configuration
This chapter provides all the necessary information for installing the Phoenix MicroATX Express into a standard PC
chassis. Topics discussed include: installing the CPU (if necessary), DRAM installation and jumper settings.
Handling Precautions
The Phoenix MicroATX Express has been designed to be as rugged as possible but it can be damaged if dropped,
jarred sharply or struck. Damage may also occur by using excessive force in performing certain installation
procedures such as forcing the system board into the chassis or placing too much torque on a mounting screw.
Take special care when installing or removing the system memory DIMMs. Never force a DIMM into a socket.
Screwdrivers slipping off a screw and scraping the board can break a trace or component leads, rendering the board
unusable. Always handle the Phoenix MicroATX Express with care.
Special Warranty Note:
Products returned for warranty repair will be
inspected for damage caused by improper
installation and misuse as described in the
previous section and the static warning below.
Should the board show signs of abuse, the
warranty will become void and the customer will
be billed for all repairs and shipping and
handling costs.
Static Warning
The Phoenix MicroATX Express contains delicate electronic semiconductors that are highly sensitive to static
electricity. These components, if subjected to a static electricity discharge, can be weakened thereby reducing the
serviceable life of the system board. BEFORE THE BOARD IS REMOVED FROM ITS PROTECTIVE
ANTISTATIC PACKAGING, TAKE PROPER PRECAUTIONS! Work on a conductive surface that is connected
to the ground. Before touching any electronic device, ground yourself by touching an unpainted metal object or, and
highly recommended, use a grounding strap.
