Preparing for Board Installation
Before you install the board, read this section carefully. It helps
you do these tasks:
• Unpack the board
• Decide whether to use the DOME board or another board
to support VGA
• Use the DIP switches to enable or disable VGA mode
Unpacking the board
Remove the Md4/PCV board slowly from its package and
protective sleeve to guard against electrostatic discharge.
To prepare for board installation
1. Turn off the power to your computer.
Leave the computer plugged into a grounded power
outlet. This allows the power cord to serve as a ground
for the computer.
2. Remove the cover from the computer according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.
Static electricity can damage the board. When touching the
board or parts of the motherboard, take these precautions:
• Wear an antistatic wrist strap.
• Always keep one hand touching a bare metal surface
to provide grounding.
• If you can’t perform a step with one hand, use both and
return one hand occasionally to the metal surface.
If you leave the computer turned on, you might suffer
electric shock or cause damage to both the computer
components and the Md4/PCV board.
