OverDrive Ready System Board

v Installation Overview

This chapter summarizes the steps in installing the

486-OCV Plus system board into your system unit. It

also includes a description of the area in which you must

work and directions for memory installation. Before

installing the system board, obtain the memory you plan

to install.

Preparing the Area

Before unpacking the system board, make sure the

location you have selected is relatively free of dust and

static. Excessive exposure to dust, static electricity,

direct sunlight, excessive humidity, extreme cold and

water can damage the operational capabilities of your

system board. Avoid soft surfaces such as beds and

carpeted floors which can hinder air circulation. These

areas also attract static electricity which can damage

some circuits on your system board.

Be sure that the power source has a properly grounded,

three-pronged socket. It is essential that the power

connection be properly grounded for correct functioning

of your system board. For further protection, we rec-

ommend that you use a surge protection socket. This

will protect the system board from damage that may

result from a power surge on the line.

Move items that generate magnetic fields away from

your system board, since magnetic fields can also dam-

age your system board. Once you have selected the

ideal location, unpack the 486-OCV Plus system board

carefully.
