Installation Steps

Before using your computer, you must complete the following steps:

1. Set Jumpers on the Motherboard
2. Install System Memory Modules
3. Install the Central Processing Unit (CPU)
4. Install Expansion Cards
5. Connect Ribbon Cables, Cabinet Wires, and Power Supply
6. Setup the BIOS Software

1. Jumpers

Several hardware settings are made through the use of jumper caps to connect jumper
pins (JP) on the motherboard. See motherboard layout for locations of jumpers. The
jumper settings will be described numerically, such as [----], [1-2], [2-3] for no con-
nection, connect pins 1&2, and connect pins 2&3, respectively. A “1” is written be-
sides pin 1 on jumpers with three pins. The jumpers will also be shown graphically

such as

to connect pins 1&2 and

to connect pins 2&3. Jumpers with

two pins will be shown as

for Short (On) and

for Open (Off). For manufac-

turing simplicity, the jumpers may be sharing pins from other groups. Use the dia-
grams in this manual instead of following the pin layout on the board. Settings with
two jumper numbers require that both jumpers be moved together. To connect the
pins, simply place a plastic jumper cap over the two pins as diagrammed.

WARNING!

Computer motherboards, baseboards and components, such as SCSI

cards, contain very delicate Integrated Circuit (IC) chips. To protect them against
damage from static electricity, you should follow some precautions whenever you
work on your computer.

1. Unplug your computer when working on the inside.
2. Use a grounded wrist strap before handling computer components. If you do

not have one, touch both of your hands to a safely grounded object or to a
metal object, such as the power supply case.

3. Hold components by the edges and try not to touch the IC chips, leads or

connectors, or other components.

4. Place components on a grounded antistatic pad or on the bag that came with

the component whenever the components are separated from the system.
