This chapter provides detailed information on the X10DRS serverboard. All
serverboard jumpers and connections are described. A layout and quick reference
chart are also included in this chapter for your reference. Remember to completely
close the chassis when you have finished working with the serverboard to better
cool and protect the system.

Handling the Serverboard
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic com ponents. To prevent dam-
age to any printed circuit boards (PCBs), it is important to handle them very carefully
(see previous chapter). To prevent the serverboard from bending, keep one hand
under the center of the board to support it when handling. The following measures
are generally sufficient to protect your equipment from electric static discharge.
Precautions
•
Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent Electrostatic Discharge
(ESD).
•
Touch a grounded metal object before removing any board from its antistatic
bag.
•
Handle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral chips,
memory modules or gold contacts.
•
When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.
•
Put the serverboard, add-on cards and peripherals back into their antistatic
bags when not in use.
•
For grounding purposes, make sure your computer chassis provides excellent
conductivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners and
the serverboard.
