Chapter 5
Advanced Motherboard Setup
This chapter covers the steps required to install processors and heatsinks to the
X9SRi-F motherboard, connect the data and power cables and install add-on
cards. All motherboard jumpers and connections are described and a layout and
quick reference chart are included in this chapter. Remember to close the chassis
completely when you have finished working on the motherboard to protect and
cool the system sufficiently.
5-1 Handling the Motherboard
Static electrical discharge can damage electronic com ponents. To prevent damage
to printed circuit boards, it is important to handle them very carefully (see Chapter 4).
Also note that the size and weight of the motherboard can cause it to bend if handled
improperly, which may result in damage. 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
static discharge.
Precautions
•
Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.
•
Touch a grounded metal object before removing any board from its antistatic
bag.
•
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.
Unpacking
The motherboard is shipped in antistatic packaging to avoid static damage. When
unpacking the board, make sure the person handling it is static protected.
