This chapter describes how to set the jumpers on the motherboard. Note
that the following procedures are generic for all NISE 3520 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 recom-
mended 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 power
is off. Ground yourself before touching any internal components, by
touching a metal object. Static electricity can damage many of the elec-
tronic components. Humid environment tend to have less static electricity than dry environments. A grounding strap is warranted whenever
danger of static electricity exists.
Precautions
Computer components and electronic circuit boards can be damaged by
discharges of static electricity. Working on the computers that are still connected to a power supply can be extremely dangerous.
Follow the guidelines below to avoid damage to your computer or yourself:
• Always disconnect the unit from the power outlet whenever you are
working inside the case.
• If possible, wear a grounded wrist strap when you are working inside
the computer case. Alternatively, discharge any static electricity by
touching the bare metal chassis of the unit case, or the bare metal body
of any other grounded appliance.
• Hold electronic circuit boards by the edges only. Do not touch the com-
ponents on the board unless it is necessary to do so. Don’t flex or stress
the circuit board.
• Leave all components inside the static-proof packaging that they
shipped with until they are ready for installation.
• Use correct screws and do not over tighten screws.
A jumper is the simplest kind of electric switch. It consists of two metal
pins and a cap. When setting the jumpers, ensure that the jumper caps are
placed on the correct pins. When the jumper cap is placed on both pins,
the jumper is short. If you remove the jumper cap, or place the jumper
cap on just one pin, the jumper is open.
Refer to the illustrations below for examples of what the 2-pin and 3-pin
jumpers look like when they are short (on) and open (off).
The figure below is the top view of the NISB 3520 main board which is the main board used in the NISE 3520 Series system. It shows the locations of the
jumpers and connectors.
