2. Board Installation
2.1 Unpacking
The mainboard package should contain the following:
S1668 Mainboard
One IDE 40 pin cable
One 34 pin floppy cable
User's Manual
Optional VRM(Voltage Regulator Module)
The mainboard contains sensitive electric components which can be easily
damaged by static electricity, so the mainboard should be left in its original
packaging until it is ready to be installed.
With the power supply pluged in and turned off touch an unpainted area of
the system chassis imedietly before handling the mainboard or any compo-
nent. Doing so discharges the static charge your body may have built.
After opening the mainboard carton, extract the system board holding it by
its edges ,and place it only on a grounded anti-static surface, component
side up. Inspect the board for damage. Press down on all of the socket IC's
to make sure that they are properly seated. Do this only with the board
placed 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!
2.2 Installation
You are now ready to install your mainboard. The mounting hole pattern of
the S1668 matches the ATX system board spec. It is assumed that the
chassis is for a standard ATX mainboard form factor.
