2. Board Installation

2.1 Unpacking

The mainboard package should contain the following: wS1572 Mainboard

wOne IDE 40 pin cable wOne 34 pin floppy cable wUser's Manual

The mainboard contains sensitive electric components which can be easily damaged by static electricity, so the mainboard should be left in its original packaging until it is ready to be installed.

With the power supply plugged in and turned off, touch an unpainted area of the system chassis immediately before handling the mainboard or any com- ponent. Doing so discharges the static charge your body may have built.

After opening the mainboard carton, extract the system board holding it by its edges ,and place it only on a grounded anti-static surface, component side up. Inspect the board for damage. Press down on any of the socket IC's if it appears they are not properly seated. Do this only with the board placed on an anti-static mat. Do not touch the bottom of the board.

DO NOT APPLY POWER TO THE BOARD IF IT HAS BEEN DAMAGED!

2.2 Installation

You are now ready to install your mainboard. The mounting hole pattern of the S1572 matches the ATX system board spec. It is assumed that the chassis is for a standard ATX mainboard form factor.
