3.2. Installation 

The  P6F132/133 is designed to fit into a standard FATX/ATX form 
factor chassis. The pattern of the mounting holes and the position of 
the back panel connectors meet the FATX/ATX system board speci-
fication. The chassis comes with various mounting fasteners, which 
are made of metal or plastic. It is highly recommended to use as 
many metal fasteners as possible to mo unt the mainboard in the chas-
sis for better grounding. 

To install the mainboard you need to install the CPU and DIMM 
memory modules, attach the connectors, and set the correct CPU 
speed in the CMOS setup. 

3.3. Safety Measures 

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 
simple guidelines below to avoid damaging your computer: 

• 

Always disconnect the mainboard from the ATX power 
supply, and disconnect the computer from the power outlet 
whenever you are working inside the computer case. 

• 

If possible, wear a grounded wrist strap when you are in-
stalling the mainboard or working inside the computer case. 
Alternatively, discharge any static electricity by touching 
the bare metal chassis of the computer 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. Do not flex or stress the circuit board.  

• 

Leave each component inside the static -proof packaging 
that it ships with until you are ready to use the component 
for the installation.
