Chapter 2: Setting Up
2.0.1 Before you Begin
This chapter explains how to install the CPUs, CPU heatsinks, memory
modules, and hard drives. Instructions on inserting add on cards are
also given.
2.0.2 Work Area
Make sure you have a stable, clean working environment. Dust and dirt
can get into components and cause malfunctions. Use containers to
keep small components separated. Putting all small components in
separate containers prevents them from becoming lost. Adequate
lighting and proper tools can prevent you from accidentally damaging
the internal components.
2.0.3 Tools
The following procedures require only a few tools, including the
following:

A cross head (Phillips) screwdriver
 A grounding strap or an anti-static pad

A T20 Security Torx screwdriver
Most of the electrical and mechanical connections can be disconnected
using your fingers. It is recommended that you do not use needle-nosed
pliers to remove connectors as these can damage the soft metal or
plastic parts of the connectors.
Caution!
1. To avoid damaging the motherboard and associated
components, use torque force within the range
5~7
kgf/cm (4.35 ~ 6.09 lb/in) on each mounting screw
for motherboard installation.
2. Do not apply power to the board if it has been
damaged.
