Jumpers and Connectors
This chapter describes how to set the jumpers and connectors on the
motherboard.
Before you Begin
Ensure you have a stable, clean working environment. Dust and dirt can get
into components and cause a malfunction. Use containers to keep small
components separated.
Adequate lighting and proper tools can prevent you from accidentally
damaging the internal components. Most of the procedures that follow
require only a few simple tools, including the following:
-
A Philips screwdriver
-
A flat-tipped screwdriver
-
A set of jewelers screwdrivers
-
A grounding strap
-
An anti-static pad
Using your fingers can disconnect most of the connections. It is
recommended that you do not use needle-nosed pliers to disconnect
connections as these can damage the soft metal or plastic parts of the
connectors.
Before working on internal components, make sure that the power is off.
Ground yourself before touching any internal components, by touching a
metal object. Static electricity can damage many of the electronic
components. Humid environments tend to have less static electricity than
dry environments. A grounding strap is warranted whenever danger of static
electricity exists.
Precautions
Computer components and electronic circuit boards can be damaged by
discharges of static electricity. Working on computers that are still
connected to a power supply can be extremely dangerous.
Follow the guidelines below to avoid damage to your computer or yourself:
Always disconnect the unit from the power outlet whenever you are
working inside the case.
To fully disengage the power to the unit, please disconnect the power cord
from the AC inlet.
If possible, wear a grounded wrist strap when you are working inside the
computer case. Alternatively, discharge any static electricity by touching the
bare metal chassis of the unit case, or the bare metal body of any other
grounded appliance
Hold electronic circuit boards by the edges only. Do not touch the
components on the board unless it is necessary to do so. Don’t flex or stress
the circuit board.
