Precautions
===========
1. Make sure you ground yourself before handling the mainboard or other
system components. Electrostatic discharge will damage the mainboard.
Note that you must take special precaution when handling the mainboard
in dry or air-conditioned environments.
2. Make sure your ATX power switch is turned off before you plug the power
connector between your mainboard and power supply.
The precaution below is to protect the mainboard from electrostatic
discharge.
* Do not remove the anti-static packing until you are ready to install
the mainboard and other system components.
* Ground yourselfbefore removing any system component from its
protective anti-static packing. To ground yourself, and grasp the
expansion slot covers or other unpainted portion computer chassis.
* Frequently ground yourself while working, or use a grounding strap.
* Handle the mainboard by the edges and avoid touching its components.

- Page 2 5. The USB function is standard on all current Intel chipsets and is supported on the W6BXA-0 mainboard. To connect the keyboard or mouse to the mainboard, the hub plugs into the port on the case, and then connects the keyboard or mouse.
- Page 3 10. Plug in the monitor's VGA card and any other peripheral cards you wish to use. Any ISA card can plug into any ISA bus slot, and any PCI card into any PCI slot. 11. Install the DRAM memory modules. 12.

- Page 5 mechanism. It allows the PC to conserve energy by using cost/benefit analysis calculations. Power management policies too complicated to be implemented in the ROM BIOS can be processed in the OS, allowing less complex hardware to support elaborate power management policies. 2.
- Page 6 10. CPU: (Central Processing Unit) The computing part of a computer. 11. DMA: (Direct Memory Access) A peripheral has to go through the CPU to access the main memory. To speed up memory access, the DMA forms a second data channel between the peripherals and main memory through which a peripheral can directly access the main memory without the help of the CPU and read or write data.
- Page 7 IDE-compatible hard disk drive. SCSI drives operate in the same way, but use a 68-pin Header. In non-IDE mainboards, the drive connects to a hard drive host adapter rather than directly to an expansion slot on the mainboard. 21. Internal Clock: The actual internal operating clock that determines the electrical frequency of the CPU's power input.
- Page 8 begins POST by testing the processor and initializing the hardware. As POST proceeds, BIOS test all the hardware, detects the memory, and initializes the chipset and other controllers according to information defined by the user and saved in the CMOS chip. When POST is completed, the computer is initialized and BIOS turns control of the computer over to an operating system such as DOS.
