3.3 Hardware Setup Procedure

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

1. Check motherboard settings
2. Install memory modules
3. Install the Central Processing Unit (CPU)
4. Install an expansion card
5. Connect ribbon cables, panel wires, and power supply
6. Setup the BIOS software

WARNING!

Computer motherboards and expansion 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.

5. Ensure that the ATX power supply is switched off before you plug in or

remove the ATX power connector on the motherboard.

WARNING!

Make sure that you unplug the power supply when adding or

removing system components. Failure to do so may severely damage the
motherboard, peripherals, and/or components. When lit, the onboard LED
indicates that the system is in suspend or soft-off mode, not powered OFF.
