Chapter 5
Advanced Motherboard Setup
This section describes the connections on the motherboard and provides pinout
definitions. Note that depending on how the system is configured, not all connections
are required. The LEDs on the motherboard are also described here. A motherboard
layout indicating component locations may be found in Chapter 1.
Please review the Safety Precautions in Chapter 4 before installing or removing
components.
5-1 Handling the Motherboard
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic com ponents. To prevent
damage to any printed circuit boards (PCBs), it is important to handle them very
carefully (see previous chapter). To prevent the motherboard from bending, keep
one hand under the center of the board to support it when handling. The following
measures are generally sufficient to protect your equipment from electric static
discharge.
Precautions
•
Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent ESD.
•
Touch a grounded metal object before removing boards from antistatic bags.
•
Handle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral chips,
memory modules or gold contacts.
•
When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.
•
Put the motherboard, add-on cards and peripherals back into their antistatic
bags when not in use.
•
For grounding purposes, make sure your computer chassis provides excellent
conductivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners and
the motherboard.
Unpacking
The motherboard is shipped in antistatic packaging to avoid electrical static
discharge. When unpacking the board, make sure the person handling it is static
protected.
