HARDWARE SETUP
This chapter explains how to configure the mainboard hardware. When you are installing
the mainboard, you will have to make jumper settings and cable connections. Refer to this
chapter whenever you install or reconfigure your system.
4.1
UNPACKING
The system board package should contain the following parts :
The PT-5ITB system board.
OPERATION MANUAL.
Cable set for IDE and I/O device.
The mainboard contains electric sensitive components which can be easily damaged by
static electricity, so the mainboard should be left in its original packing until it is installed.
Unpacking and installation should be done on a grounded anti-static mat. The operator
should be wearing an anti static wristband, grounded at the same point as the anti-static
mat.
Inspect the mainboard carton for obvious damage. Shipping and handling may cause
damage to your board. Be sure there are no shipping and handling damages on the board
before proceeding.
After opening the motherboard carton, extract the mainboard and place it only on a
grounded anti-static surface with the component side up. Inspect the board again to see
whether there is any damage.
Press down on all of the socket IC‘s to make sure that they are properly seated. Do this
only with the board placed on a firm flat surface.

HARDWARE CONFIGURATION
Before the system board is ready for operating, the hardware must be configured to make
sure it will work properly with different environment. To configure the PT-5ITB system
board is a simple task, only a few jumpers, connectors, cables and sockets needs to be
selected and installed. (For the detailed locations of each component please refer to the
“system board layout figure” which appears in page 3-1.)
