Installing Circuit Boards - Epson CW3S16 Operation Manual

Installing Circuit Boards

Most of the expansion products you will be installing into your
computer are circuit boards. Like the system boards installed at
the factory, expansion boards are plugged into the main system
unit's mother board.
There are expansion boards available for a wide variety of
functions. The most common expansion boards provide such
functions as extra I/O ports, high resolution video graphics and
system memory expansion.
The basic computer is shipped from the factory with only the
system motherboard installed. This system has IDE-type HDC
controller and the Floppy Disk controller on the system
motherboard.
If you are adding other systems to a basic computer, or
expanding your system by installing additional hardware, follow
the procedure below to install the circuit boards.
First, read all of the instructions provided with the expansion
product. Then, carefully unpack the circuit board(s) to be
installed.
Warning!
Most computer circuit boards have "static sensitive"
components on them. These parts can be damaged by
static electricity, which can be generated
hand across the exposed metal parts on the board. To
avoid this damage, always handle circuit boards by their
edges, being careful to avoid contact with the exposed edge
connectors and parts.
Following the instructions provided with the expansion board,
set any configuration jumpers on the expansion board.
