® CyberResearch Motherboards MXGD Series 5.1 Anti-static Precautions WARNING: Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the MXGD may result in permanent damage to the MXGD and severe injury to the user. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components, including the MXGD. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD.
PAGE 99
® CyberResearch Motherboards MXGD Series 5.2 Installation Considerations NOTE: The following installation notices and installation considerations should be read and understood before the MXGD is installed. All installation notices pertaining to the installation of the MXGD should be strictly adhered to. Failing to adhere to these precautions may lead to severe damage of the MXGD and injury to the person installing the motherboard. 5.2.
PAGE 100
® CyberResearch Motherboards MXGD Series o When working with the MXGD, make sure that it is disconnected from all power supplies and that no electricity is being fed into the system. Before and during the installation of the MXGD DO NOT: Remove any of the stickers on the PCB board. These stickers are required for warranty validation. Use the product before verifying all the cables and power connectors are properly connected.

® CyberResearch Motherboards MXGD Series 5.4 CPU, CPU Cooling Kit and DIMM Installation WARNING: A CPU should never be turned on without the specified cooling kit being installed. If the cooling kit (heat sink and fan) is not properly installed and the system turned on, permanent damage to the CPU, MXGD and other electronic components attached to the system may be incurred. Running a CPU without a cooling kit may also result in injury to the user.
PAGE 103
® CyberResearch Motherboards MXGD Series WARNING: CPUs are expensive and sensitive components. When installing the CPU please be careful not to damage it in anyway. Make sure the CPU is installed properly and ensure the correct cooling kit is properly installed. The LGA775 socket is shown in Figure 5-1. Figure 5-1: Intel LGA775 Socket To install a socket LGA775 CPU onto the MXGD, follow the steps below: WARNING: When handling the CPU, only hold it on the sides.

® CyberResearch Motherboards MXGD Series G.1 Introduction The Intel® ICH8DO chipset can provide data protection for serial ATA (SATA) disks via the Intel® Matrix Storage Manager using one of three fault-tolerant RAID levels: RAID 1, 5 or 10. When using two hard drives, matrix RAID allows RAID 0 and RAID 1 functions to be combined, where critical files can be stored on RAID 1, and RAID 0 can be used for non-critical items such as software.
PAGE 239
