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 with your
hands. It is recommended that you do not use pliers to remove connectors as it may
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
7
kgf/cm (6.09 lb/in) on each mounting screw for
motherboard installation.
2. Do not apply power to the board if it has been
damaged.
