NDiS 166 User Manual

Chapter 2: Jumpers and Connectors

This chapter describes how to set the jumpers on the motherboard. Note
that the following procedures are generic for all NDiS 166 series.

Before You Begin

Ensure you have a stable, clean working environment. Dust and dirt can
get into components and cause a malfunction. Use containers to keep
small components separated.

Adequate lighting and proper tools can prevent you from accidentally
damaging the internal components. Most of the procedures that follow
require only a few simple tools, including the following:

-

A Philips screwdriver

-

A flat-tipped screwdriver

-

A set of jewelers Screwdrivers

-

A grounding strap

-

An anti-static pad

Using your fingers can disconnect most of the connections. It is
recommended that you do not use needle-nosed pliers to disconnect
connections as these can damage the soft metal or plastic parts of the
connectors.

Before working on internal components, make sure that the poweris off.
Ground yourself before touching any internal components, by touching
a metal object. Static electricity can damage many of the electronic
components. Humid environment tend to have less static electricity

than dry environments. A grounding strap is warranted whenever
danger of static electricity exists.
