Advanced Motherboard Setup
This chapter covers the steps required to install the P4SCE motherboard
into the SC811 chassis, connect the data and power cables and install add-
on cards. All motherboard jumpers and connections are also described. A
layout and quick reference chart are included in this chapter for your refer-
ence. Remember to completely close the chassis when you have finished
working with the motherboard to better cool and protect the system.
5-1 Handling the P4SCE Motherboard
Electric-static discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. To pre-
vent damage to any printed circuit boards (PCBs), it is important to handle
them very carefully (see previous chapter). To prevent the P4SCE mother-
board from bending, keep one hand under the center of the board to sup-
port it when handling. The following measures are generally sufficient to
protect your equipment from electric static discharge.
Precautions
• Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent Electric Static Discharge
(ESD).
• Touch a grounded metal object before removing any board from its anti-
static bag.
• Handle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components, periph-
eral chips, memory modules or gold contacts.
• When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.
• Put the motherboard, add-on cards and peripherals back into their anti-
static bags when not in use.
• For grounding purposes, make sure your computer chassis provides ex-
cellent conductivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting
fasteners and the motherboard.
