1. When handling chips or modules avoid touching their pins Put the motherboard and peripherals back into their antistatic bags when not in use For grounding purposes make sure your computer chassis provides excellent conductivity between the power supply the case the mounting fasteners and the motherboard 4 3 SUPERSERVER 6023M 8R 6023M 8 Manual 4 4 Operating Precautions A Care must be taken to assure that the chassis cover is in place when the 6023M 8R 6023M 8 is operating to assure proper cooling Out of warranty damage to the 6023M 8R 6023M 8 system can occur if this practice is not strictly followed Chapter 5 Advanced Motherboard Setup Chapter 5 Advanced Motherboard Setup This chapter covers the steps required to install processors and heatsinks to the X5DPL 8GM motherboard connect the data and power cables and install add on cards All motherboard jumpers and connections are de scribed and a layout and quick reference chart are included in this chapter Remember to close the chassis completely when you have finished working on the motherboard to protect and cool the system sufficiently 5 1 Handling the X5DPL 8GM Motherboard Static electrical discharge can damage electronic components To prevent damage to printed circuit boards it is important to handle them very care fully see Chapter 4 Also note that the size and weight of the mother board can cause it to bend if handled
