[. . . ] Therefore, it is one of the most important components in a personal computer. This section will introduce you the knowledge of the hard disk and some important tips when you set it up. Get to know the hard disk Taking out the hard disk from the parcel, you will see the following equipment: Jumper configurations Adjust Jumpers on your hard disk As has been mentioned to you, we assume you know the definition of Jumpers. The setting of Jumpers in IDE hard disk is essential for a computer to distinguish various To be general, we normally set the hard disk The Jumper settings are marked on the tag Here we only set to "Master", indicating the first device of the cable; and we set CD-ROM to "Slave", affixed to the surface of the hard disk or mentioned in its handbook. up one hard disk so that it has to be set as "Master. " IDE cable connector Jumper here is set as "Master" Power connector Start To Handle 2-7 Place the hard disk into the frame. Tighten the screws to the frame. In fact, a hard disk is a very fragile and delicate device though it is covered with a metal housing. Therefore, be sure to Don't mess up screws!! Generally there are special screws for a hard disk in the parcel when you buy a new hard disk. (See page 2-3) 2-8 Start To Handle 2. 5 Set Up Motherboard It is very easy to set up a motherboard in AOpen Baresystem. You need not worry if you are not using the same one as all models have similar set-up procedures. Pull outward the lever beside the CPU socket and pull it upward vertically. Start To Handle 2-11 Aim the arrow marked on CPU at the first pin position on the socket. Don't worry!!CPU socket also has a foolproof device. You may find out the pin arrangement at four corners of CPU is different. Two of them have a bevel-angle, As long as you don't insert it too which is a foolproof. it is wrongly placed! hard, the CPU is unable to be located into the socket if After CPU is located in the socket, pull down the lever and click to the tenon. Beware of CPU pins! When setting up CPU, please be careful not to crook the pins or CPU can't be properly located into the socket! 2-12 Start To Handle Set up the cooling fan above the CPU socket. Get the clip of the cooling fan hooked by the tenon above the socket. Be careful not to scratch the motherboard! When setting up the cooling fan, please avoid the clip scratching the motherboard; otherwise it may cause serious damage!Use a tool to place the clip at the other side into the tenon. Lastly, plug in the fan connector. Be aware of its direction. Start To Handle 2-13 Set Up Pentium 4 CPU With the increasing popularity of Pentium4 CPU in the market, we considerately introduce CPU installation of Pentium4 in this section. As with setting up all types of CPU, please don't go wrong with the direction, let's take a look at Pentium4 CPU itself. Note that the arrow indicates the first pin As shown in the picture, it's a Micro FC-PGA CPU of Intel Pentium4, which is the so-called Socket478 CPU. Pull open the rod next to CPU socket to 90 degrees Pull outward the rod beside the CPU socket and pull it upward vertically 2-14 Start To Handle Aim the arrow mark on CPU at the first pin in the socket Don't worry!!CPU socket also has a foolproof device. You may find the pin arrangement at four corners of CPU is different. As long as you don't insert it too hard, the CPU is unable to be located into the socket if it is wrongly placed! After CPU is located in the socket, pull down the rod and click to the tenon. Beware of CPU pins! When setting up CPU, please be careful not to crook the pins or CPU can't be properly located into the socket! Start To Handle 2-15 Set up the cooling fan above the CPU socket Motherboard for Pentium4 CPU usually comes with a special-designed retention module which is as shown below. Be careful not to scratch the motherboard! When setting up the cooling fan, please avoid the iron piece scratching the motherboard; otherwise it may cause serious damage! Press iron sticks to get hooked on the retention module. At last, plug in the fan connector. Be aware of its direction. 2-16 Start To Handle Connect ATX power cord to the motherboard Before connecting 20-pin ATX power connector to transmit the current of the power supplier to the motherboard, please remember to plug in the 4-pin power connector at the first place. Still pay attention to the direction when you plug it in. Be careful the direction of tenon when plugging Be careful the direction of tenon when plugging Start To Handle 2-17 2. 7 Plug In Memory The DIMM modules available on the market belong to several standard modules. Be careful not to plug in the wrong side. This one is a 168-pin SDRAM. Pay attention to the direction of the jag. [. . . ] However, PCI interface card: Commonly seen are sound-effect card, network card, modem card, SCSI card, and image card. Also, some outdated display card or 3D acceleration card are most 3D acceleration cards apply to AGP interface as well after integrating the display function. 2-34 Start To Handle Take apart the rear port bracket that you need to install on the housing. Generally when leaving the factory, those rear brackets are fixed on the housing. You should remove the brackets before setting up the interfaces in order to lock them in. Aim the golden finger of the interface card at the socket you want to connect, and insert the interface card vertically downward into the socket with both hands. Start To Handle 2-35 Screw the interface card to the housing with NO. 1 screws. 2-36 Start To Handle 2. 15 All Set So far we had almost completed all the assembling. [. . . ]
