Installing the Motherboard 2-1 Chapter 2. Installing the Motherboard This SE6 motherboard not only provides all standard equipment for classic personal computers, but also provides great flexibility for meeting future upgrade demands. This chapter will introduce step by step all of the standard equipment and will also present, as completely as possible, future upgrade capabilities. This motherboard is able to support Intel Pentium III and Celeron processors now on the market.
2-2 Chapter2 Note: If the motherboard has mounting holes, but they don’t line up with the holes on the base and there are no slots to attach the spacers, do not despair, you can still attach the spacers to the mounting holes. Just cut the bottom portion of the spacers (the spacers may be a little hard to cut, so mind your fingers). In this way, you can still attach the motherboard to the base without worrying about short circuits.
Installing the Motherboard 2-3 Step 1. Before you install the memory module, please place the computer power switch in the “OFF” position and disconnect the AC power cord. Step 2. Remove the computer’s chassis cover. Step 3. Before touching any electronic components, make sure you first touch an unpainted, grounded metal object to discharge any static electricity stored on your clothing or body. Step 4. Locate your computer’s 168-pin memory expansion DIMM socket. Figure 2-4.
