Installing the Tigercat
1. Make backup copies of your installation and configu-
ration diskettes.
2. Ground yourself to prevent damaging static dis-
charge by using an anti-static wrist or ankle strap, or
touch a safely grounded metal object.
3. Remove the Tigercat from its packaging.
4. Configure and verify the system boards jumper set-
tings (refer to Jumper Settings in Chapter 2).
5. Install the CPU and the system memory. Be sure to
attach the Retention Mechanism as described in
Chapter 3.
6. Install the system board in the chassis and make all
necessary case connections.
