2.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING!
Static electricity can destroy certain electronics. Make sure to follow the
ESD precautions to prevent damage to the product, and injury to the
user.
Make sure to adhere to the following guidelines:
Wear an anti-static wristband: We aring an anti-static wristband can prevent
electrostatic discharge.
Self-grounding: Touch a grounded conductor every few minutes to discharge
any excess static buildup.
Use an anti-static pad: When configuring any circuit board, place it on an
anti-static mat.
Only handle the edges of the PCB: Don't touch the surface of the
motherboard. Hold the motherboard by the edges when handling.
2.2 Unpacking Precautions
When the MXGG is unpacked, please do the following:
Follow the antistatic guidelines above.
Make sure the packing box is facing up wards when opening.
Make sure all the packing list items are present.
If any of the components listed in the checklist below are missing, do
not proceed with the installation. Contact a CyberResearch sales
representative directly by sending an email to
sales@cyberresearch.com.

Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the MXGG
may result in permanent damage to the MXGG and severe injury to the
user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the MXGG. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is therefore critical
that whenever the MXGG or any other electrical component is handled, the following
anti-static precautions are strictly adhered to.
MXGG Series
Wear an anti-static wristband: We aring a simple anti-static wristband can
help to prevent ESD from damaging the board.
Self-grounding: Before handling the board, touch any grounded conducting
material. During the time the board is handled, frequently touch any
conducting materials that are connected to the ground.
Use an anti-static pad: When configuring the MXGG, place it on an
antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the MXGG.
Only handle the edges of the PCB: When handling the PCB, hold the PCB
by the edges.
4.2 Installation Considerations
NOTE:
The following installation notices and installation considerations should
be read and understood before installation. All installation notices must
be strictly adhered to. Failing to adhere to these precautions may lead
to severe damage and injury to the person performing the installation.

WARNING:
The installation instructions described in this manual should be
carefully followed in order to prevent damage to the components and
injury to the user.
Before and during the installation please DO the following:
Read the user manual:
oThe user manual provides a complete description of the MXGG
installation instructions and configuration options.
Wear an electrostatic discharge cuff (ESD):
oElectronic components are easily damaged by ESD. Wearing an ESD cuff
removes ESD from the body and helps prevent ESD damage.
Place the MXGG on an antistatic pad:
oWhen installing or configuring the motherboard, place it on an antistatic
pad. This helps to prevent potential ESD damage.
Turn all power to the MXGG off:
oWhen working with the MXGG, make sure that it is disconnected from all
power supplies and that no electricity is being fed into the system.
Before and during the installation of the MXGG DO NOT:
Remove any of the stickers on the PCB board. These stickers are required for
warranty validation.
Use the product before verifying all the cables and power connectors are
properly connected.
Allow screws to come in contact with the PCB circuit, connector pins, or its

Parallel Port IRQ [IRQ7]
The parallel port operates in the enhanced parallel
port mode (EPP). The EPP mode supports
bi-directional communication between the system
and the parallel port device and the transmission
rates between the two are much faster than the
Normal mode.
The parallel port operates in the extended
capabilities port (ECP) mode. The ECP mode
supports bi-directional communication between the
system and the parallel port device and the
transmission rates between the two are much faster
than the Normal mode
The parallel port is also be compatible with EPP
devices described above
