Chapter 5
Advanced Motherboard Setup
This chapter covers the steps required to install the 370SSR+/370SSE+
motherboard into the SC810 chassis, connect the data and power cables
and install add-on cards. All motherboard jumpers and connections are
also described. A layout and quick reference chart are on pages 5-12 and
5-13. Remember to completely close the chassis when you have finished
working with the motherboard to better cool and protect the system.
Tools Required
The only tools you will need to install the 370SSR+/370SSE into the
chassis are a long and a short Philips screwdriver.
5-1 Handling the 370SSR+/370SSE+ Motherboard
Electric-static discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. To pre-
vent damage to any printed circuit boards (PCBs), it is important to handle
them very carefully (see previous chapter). Also note that the size and
weight of the 370SSR+/370SSE+ motherboard can cause it to bend if
handled improperly, which may result in damage. To prevent the 370SSR+/
370SSE+ motherboard from bending, keep one hand under the center of the
board to support it when handling. The following measures are generally
sufficient to protect your equipment from electric static discharge.
Precautions
• Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent Electric Static Discharge
(ESD).
• Touch a grounded metal object before removing any board from its anti-
static bag.
• Handle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components, periph-
eral chips, memory modules or gold contacts.
• When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.
• Put the motherboard, add-on cards and peripherals back into their anti-
