Installation Overview
This chapter summarizes the steps in installing the
E586-ICP/E586-IPE system board into your system unit.
It also includes a description of the area in which you
must work and directions for memory installation.
Before installing the system board, obtain the memory
you plan to install.
Preparing the Area
Before unpacking the system board, make sure the
location you have selected is relatively free of dust and
static. Excessive exposure to dust, static electricity,
direct sunlight, excessive humidity, extreme cold and
water can damage the operational capabilities of your
system board. Avoid soft surfaces such as beds and
carpeted floors which can hinder air circulation. These
areas also attract static electricity which can damage
some circuits on your system board.
Be sure that the power source has a properly grounded,
three-pronged socket. It is essential that the power
connection be properly grounded for correct functioning
of your system board. For further protection, we recom-
mend that you use a surge protection socket. This will
protect the system board from damage that may result
from a power surge on the line.
Move items that generate magnetic fields away from
your system board, since magnetic fields can also dam-
age your system board. Once you have selected the ideal
location, unpack the E586-ICP/E586-IPE system board
carefully.
