Chapter 5
Advanced Motherboard Setup
This chapter covers the steps required to install the P4SBR/P4SBE mother-
board into the SC810 chassis, connect the data and power cables and
install add-on cards. All motherboard jumpers and connections are also
described. A layout and quick reference chart are included in this chaptor
for your reference. Remember to completely close the chassis when you
have finished working with the motherboard to better cool and protect the
system.
Tools Required
The only tools you will need to install the P4SBR/P4SBE into the
chassis are a long and a short Philips screwdriver.
5-1 Handling the P4SBR/P4SBE Motherboard
Electric-static discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. To pre-
vent damage to any printed circuit boards (PCBs), it is important to handle
them very carefully (see previous chapter). Also note that the size and
weight of the P4SBR/P4SBE motherboard may cause it to bend if handled
improperly, which may result in damage. To prevent the P4SBR/P4SBE
motherboard from bending, keep one hand under the center of the board to
support it when handling. The following measures are generally sufficient
to protect your equipment from electric static discharge.
Precautions
• Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent Electric Static Discharge
(ESD).
• Touch a grounded metal object before removing any board from its anti-
static bag.
• Handle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components, periph-
eral chips, memory modules or gold contacts.
• When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.
• Put the motherboard, add-on cards and peripherals back into their anti-
