Advanced Motherboard Setup
This chapter describes the X10SDV-7TP4F motherboard including how to connect
the data and power cables and install add-on cards. All motherboard jumpers and
connections are described and a layout and quick reference chart are included in
this chapter.
Remember to close the chassis completely when you have finished
working on the motherboard to protect and cool the system sufficiently.
5-1 Handling the Motherboard
Static electrical discharge can damage electronic com ponents. To prevent damage
to printed circuit boards, it is important to handle them very carefully (see Chapter
4). Also note that the size and weight of the motherboard can cause it to bend if
handled improperly, which may result in damage. To prevent the motherboard from
bending, keep one hand under the center of the board to support it when handling.
The following measures are generally sufficient to protect your equipment from
static discharge.
Precautions
•
Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.
•
Touch a grounded metal object before removing any board from its antistatic
bag.
•
Handle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral chips,
memory modules or gold contacts.
•
When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.
•
Put the motherboard, add-on cards and peripherals back into their antistatic
bags when not in use.
