III. INSTALLATION
Installation Steps
Before using your computer, you must complete the following steps:1.Set Jumpers on the Motherboard2.Install DRAM and SRAM Modules3.Install the Central Processing Unit (CPU)4.Install Expansion Cards5.Connect Ribbon Cables, Cabinet Wires, and Power Supply6.Setup the BIOS Software1. Jumpers
Several hardware settings are made through the use of jumper caps to connect jumper
pins (JP) on the motherboard. See "Map of the Motherboard" on page 4 for loca-tions of jumpers. The jumper settings will be described numerically such as
| Pin 1 |

holding the motherboard with the keyboard connector away from yourself. A "1" is
written besides 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 manufacturing 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 to-gether. To connect the pins, simply place a plastic jumper cap over the two pins as
diagramed.WARNING: Computer motheboards and components contain very delicate Integrated Circuit (IC) chips. To protect the motherboard and other components 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.Hold components by the edges and try not to touch the IC chips, leads, or circuitry.
3.Use a grounded wrist strap before handling computer 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.
