III. INSTALLATION
Installation Steps
Before using your computer, you must complete the following steps:1.Set Jumpers on the Motherboard2.Install System Memory3.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 motherboard layout for locations of jumpers. The
jumper settings will be described numerically such as
tion, connect pins 1&2, and connect pins 2&3 respectively. Pin 1 for our motherboards
Pin 1 
Pin 1
| is always on top | or on the left |
| when 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 connectpins 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 together. To connect the pins, simply place a plastic jumper
cap over the two pins as diagramed.WARNING! 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.
