After opening the mainboard carton, extract the system board–holding
it by its edges–and place it on a grounded anti-static surface, compo-
nent side up. Inspect the board for damage. Press down on any of the
socket ICs if it appears that they are not properly seated (the board
should still be on an anti-static mat). Do not touch the bottom of the
board.
DO NOT APPLY POWER TO THE BOARD IF IT HAS BEEN
DAMAGED!
Installation
You are now ready to install your mainboard. The mounting hole
pattern of the S1696DLUA matches the ATX system board specifica-
tions. Your chassis should be that of a standard ATX mainboard form
factor.
Setting Jumpers
In this manual, the terms “closed” and “on” are used when referring to
jumpers (or jumper pins) that are active; “open” and “off” are used
when referring to jumpers (or jumper pins) that are not connected.
Jumpers and pins are connected by slipping the black plastic jumper
connector overtop of two adjacent jumper pins. The metal rod inside
the plastic shell bridges the gap between the two pins, completing the
circuit. See the pictures below for examples of “on” and “off” pins and
jumpers.
