Board Installation

and then touch any metal part on the computer case. (Or wear a grounded wrist strap.)

(2)Hold the motherboard by its edges and do not touch the bottom of the board.

(3)Avoid touching motherboard components, IC chips, connectors, and leads.

(4)Avoid touching pins of memory modules and chips.

(5)Place motherboard on a grounded antistatic surface or on the antistatic bag.

Having reviewed the precautions above, the next step is to take the mother- board out of the cardboard box and static bag, hold it by its edges, and place it on a grounded antistatic surface, component side up. Inspect the board for damage.

warning

DO NOTAPPLY POWER TO THE BOARD IF IT HAS BEEN DAMAGED!

Press down on any of the socket ICs if it appears that they are not properly seated (the board should still be on an antistatic mat). Do not touch the bottom of the board. Remember, don’t take any electronic device out of its protective bag until you are ready to actually install it into the computer case. If you do not ground yourself, you risk zapping the motherboard or adapter card. Subsequent problems may not arise immediately because electrostatic discharge damage, unlike physical damage, causes the device to fail over time.

*Power Supply Requirement: If you use an ATX Power Supply, it should be 2.01 compliant. Standby current must be 750mA or higher (SB5V = 0.75A)

Installation Steps

You are now ready to install your mainboard. The mounting hole pattern of the S1598 matches the ATX system board specifications. Your chassis should have standard ATX mainboard form factor mounting holes and an ATX power supply.
