v Installation Overview
This chapter summarizes the steps in installing the 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. Please refer to the memory chart
on page 9 for the type of SIM modules needed.
Note:
Do not use 5V SRAM cache as they will not function prop-
erly on the system board.
Preparing the Area
Before unpacking the system board, make sure the location
you have selected is free of dust and static electricity.
Excessive exposure to dust, static electricity, direct sunlight,
excessive humidity, extreme cold, and water can damage the
operational capabilities of your system board. Avoid placing
the unit on surfaces such as carpeted floors. These areas also
attract static electricity which can damage some circuits on
your system board.
Make sure 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 recommend that you use a
surge suppressor. This will protect the system board from
damage that may result from a power surge on the electrical
line.
Move items that generate magnetic fields away from your
system board since magnetic fields can also damage your
system board. Once you have selected the ideal location,
unpack the system board carefully.
