2. Board Installation

2.1 Unpacking

The mainboard package should contain the following:
wS1562 Mainboard
wOne IDE 40 pin cable
wTwo serial cables
w w One parallel cable
wOne 34 pin floppy cable
wUser's Manual
wOptional Pipeline cache module
wOptional PS/2 mouse cable
The mainboard contains sensitive electric components which can be easily
damaged by static electricity, so the mainboard should be left in its original
packaging until it is ready to be installed.
Unpacking and installation should be done on a grounded anti-static mat.
The operator should be wearing an anti-static wristband, grounded at the
same point as the anti-static mat.
Inspect the mainboard carton for obvious damage. Shipping and handling
may cause damage to your board. Be sure there is no shipping and handling
damage to the board before proceeding.
After opening the mainboard carton, extract the system board and place it
only on a grounded anti-static surface, component side up. Again inspect
the board for damages. Press down on all of the socket IC's to make sure
that they are properly seated. Do this only with the board placed on an anti-
static mat.
DO NOT APPLY POWER TO THE BOARD IF IT HAS BEEN
DAMAGED!
