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

• Check Motherboard Settings

• Install Memory Modules

• Install the Central Processing Unit (CPU)

2.4 Motherboard Settings

This section explains in detail how to change your motherboard’s function settings

through the use of switches and/or jumpers.

WARNING! Computer motherboards and expansion cards contain very delicate Inte-

grated 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 compo-

nent 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.
