Quick Installation
We know that many experienced people prefer to read as
little of the documentation as possible. If this sounds like
you, here’s the short form to get up and running quickly.
Installing the Cyclone
1.
Make backup copies of your installation and configu-
ration diskettes.
2.
Ground yourself to prevent damaging static dis-
charge by using an antistatic wrist or ankle strap, or
touch a safely grounded metal object.
3.
Remove both the system board and Riser card from
its packaging.
4.
Configure and verify both the system board and riser
card’s jumper settings (refer to Jumper Settings in
Chapter 2).
5.
Mount the riser card onto the chassis.
6.
Install the CPU and the system memory.
7.
Install the system board into the chassis and make all
necessary case connections.
8.
Connect any ISA and/or PCI add-on peripherals to
the slots on the riser card.
9.
Connect any optional devices.
10. Turn the computer on and press the <F2> key when
you see the screen shown in Figure 1.1.
11. Set the time and date. Adjust the BIOS settings to
match your configuration. If installing an IDE drive,
select the IDE device you wish to configure. Press
ENTER with Autotype Fixed Disk selected and the
STATIC!
