III. INSTALLATION

Installation Steps

Before using your computer, you must complete the following steps:

1. Jumpers

Several hardware settings are made through the use of jumper caps to connect jumper

pins (JP) on the baseboard.  See “Baseboard Layout” on page 10 for locations of

jumpers.  The jumper settings will be described numerically such as [----], [1-2],

[2-3] for no connection, connect pins 1&2, and connect pins 2&3 respectively.  Pin

1 for our baseboards is always on top

 or on the left 

 when holding the

baseboard with the keyboard connector away from yourself.  A “1” is written be-

sides pin 1 on jumpers with three pins.  The jumpers will also be shown graphically

such as 

 to connect pins 1&2 and 

 to connect pins 2&3.  Jumpers with

two pins will be shown as 

 for short (On) and

for open (Off).  For manu-

facturing simplicity, the jumpers may be sharing pins from other groups.  Use the

diagrams in this manual instead of following the pin layout on the board.  Settings

with two jumper numbers require that both jumpers be moved together.  To connect

the pins, simply place a plastic jumper cap over the two pins as diagramed.

(Jumpers)

 Computer motherboards, baseboards and components, such as SCSI

cards, contain very delicate Integrated Circuit (IC) chips. To protect them against
damage from static electricity, you should follow some precautions whenever you
work on your computer.

1. Unplug your computer when working on the inside.
2. Use a grounded wrist strap before handling computer components. If you do

not have one, touch both of your hands to a safely grounded object or to a
metal object, such as the power supply case.

3. Hold components by the edges and try not to touch the IC chips, leads or

connectors, or other components.

4. Place components on a grounded antistatic pad or on the bag that came with

the component whenever the components are separated from the system.
