III. INSTALLATION

III. INSTALLATION

Installation Steps

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

1. Set Jumpers on the Baseboard

2. Install DRAM Memory Modules

3. Install the Central Processing Unit (CPU) Card

4. Install Expansion Cards

5. Connect Ribbon Cables, Cabinet Wires, and Power Supply

6. Setup the BIOS Software (see the CPU Card BIOS section)

1. Jumpers

Several hardware settings are made through the use of jumper caps to connect jumper
pins (JP) on the baseboard. See “Baseboard Layout” on page 10 for locations of
jumpers. The jumper settings will be described numerically such as [----], [1-2],

(Jumpers)

[2-3] for no connection, connect pins 1&2, and connect pins 2&3 respectively. Pin
1 for our baseboards is usually on top
baseboard with the keyboard connector away from yourself. A “1” is written be-

sides pin 1 on jumpers with three pins. The jumpers will also be shown graphically
such as
two pins will be shown as for short (On) and for open (Off). For manu­facturing simplicity, the jumpers may be sharing pins from other groups. Use the
diagrams 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 diagramed.

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.
