Chapter 2: Board Installation
2.1 Unpacking
2.1.1. Item Checklist
The motherboard package should contain the following:
• S1680S Motherboard
• One IDE 40 pin cable
• Motherboard User's manual
2.1.2. Precautionary measures before handling the motherboard
Since the motherboard contains sensitive electronic components which can
easily be damaged by static electricity, the motherboard should be kept in its
original packaging until the time of installation.
Before you open the carton of your motherboard, do the following:
1. Make sure that you stand on an Anti-static mat. (Do not stand on a rug
or carpet.)
2. It is also strongly recommended that you wear an anti-static strap. (Anti-
static straps can be purchased at your local computer hardware stores.)
3. With the power supply plugged in and the system turned off, touch an
unpainted area of the system chassis before handling the motherboard or
any component. Remember to do this each time you handle the board.
2.1.3. Proper handling of the motherboard
After opening the motherboard package, remove the board by holding its
edges. Place it on a grounded anti-static surface with the component side
up. Inspect the board for damage. Do not touch the bottom of the board.
(Note: DO NOT APPLY POWER TO THE BOARD IF IT HAS
BEEN DAMAGED!)
2.2 Installation of the motherboard
You are now ready to install your motherboard. The mounting hole pattern
of the board matches the Baby-AT system board specifications. Please
install the board in the chassis designed for a standard Baby-AT system.
