ASRock DN2800MT [11/36] Chapter 2 installation

Chapter 2: Installation

This is a Mini-ITX form factor (6.7" x 6.7", 17.0 x 17.0 cm) motherboard. Before you

install the motherboard, study the conguration of your chassis to ensure that the

motherboard ts into it.

Make sure to unplug the power cord before installing or removing the

motherboard. Failure to do so may cause physical injuries to you and

damages to motherboard components.

2.1 Screw Holes

Place screws into the holes to secure the motherboard to the chassis.

Do not over-tighten the screws! Doing so may damage the motherboard.

2.2 Pre-installation Precautions

Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard components

or change any motherboard settings.

1. Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any component.

2. To avoid damaging the motherboard components due to static electricity,

NEVER place your motherboard directly on the carpet or the like. Also

remember to use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safety grounded object

before you handle components.

3. Hold components by the edges and do not touch the ICs.

4. Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded antistatic pad or

in the bag that comes with the component.

Before you install or remove any component, ensure that the power is

switched off or the power cord is detached from the power supply.

Failure to do so may cause severe damage to the motherboard, peripherals,

and/or components.
