Installation & Operation
Installation
If your NEATsx is not installed in a computer system, then the
following basic information will be of use. Due to the wide variety of
cases the NEATsx can be installed in, it is not possible to provide ex­
act instructions for every case. This section covers the factors common
to installing the board in most situations.
The NEATsx has mounting holes that accommodate the stan­
dard mounting points for the IBM PC/XT, PC/AT and compatible
cases. Most cases use these configurations or some compatible vari­
ation of them. Before removing the board from its anti-static bag, read
the section below on static electricity precautions.
Static Precautions
Static electricity is a constant danger to computer systems. The
charge that can build up in your body may be more than sufficient to
damage integrated circuits on the system board. It is therefore impor­
tant to observe basic precautions whenever you are going to handle or
use computer components.
