Make sure you are earthed and free of static charge before you open the computer
case. If you are unsure about upgrading your computer, return it to Viglen so a
qualified engineer can perform the upgrade.
STEPS TO TAKE TO PREVENT STATIC DISCHARGE:
1. The best way to prevent static discharge is to buy an anti-static strap from your
local electrical shop. While you are wearing the strap and it is earthed, static
charge will be harmlessly bled to ground.
2. Do not remove the component from its anti-static protective packaging until you
are about to install it.
3. Hold boards by the edges - try not to touch components / interface strips etc.
Note: We recommend that you return your computer to the service department
for upgrading. Any work carried out is fully guaranteed. Upgrades should only
be carried out by persons who are familiar with handling IC's, as incorrect
installation will invalidate the guarantee.
Overview of Jumper Settings
The VIG385P Motherboard contains various jumpers, which are manually set up to
provide the optimum performance configuration. This section will explain the different
jumpers to you and the various configurations.
Caution!
Never remove jumpers using large pliers as this can damage the pins. The
best way to remove a jumper is to use a small pair of tweezers or fine needle-
nosed pliers.
Never remove a jumper when the computer is switch on. Always switch the
computer off first.
Do not move the jumper with the power on. Always turn off the power and
unplug the power cord from the computer before changing the jumper.
