2. Board Installation
2.1 Unpacking
The mainboard package should contain the following:
* S1461/3/6 Mainboard
* Two IDE 40 pin cables
* User's Manual
The mainboard contains sensitive electric components which can be easily
damaged by static electricity, so the mainboard should be left in its original
packaging until it is ready to be installed.
Unpacking and installation should be done on a grounded anti-static mat.
The operator should be wearing an anti-static wristband, grounded at the
same point as the anti-static mat.
Inspect the main board carton for obvious damage. Shipping and handling
may cause damage to your board. Be sure there are no shipping and han-
dling damage on the board before proceeding.
After opening the mainboard carton, extract the system board and place it
only on a grounded anti-static surface, component side up. Again inspect
the board for damages. Press down on all of the socket IC's to make sure
that they are properly seated. Do this only with the board placed on an anti-
static mat.
DO NOT APPLY POWER TO THE BOARD IF IT HAS BEEN
DAMAGED!
