Step 3 Install CPU and Connect Heatsink and Fan
Lift the lever on the ZIF socket.
Place the CPU into the ZIF socket. The CPU can only be inserted one way. It fits snug and does
not require force to be inserted. Once inserted, depress the lever to secure the CPU to the ZIF
socket.
Step 3 Install CPU and Connect Heatsink and Fan, Continued
To install the heatsink and cooling fan, place the heat sink on top of the CPU and clip it to the
ZIF socket.
Connect the fan power cable to the adjacent CPU Fan header JP1.
Step 4 Install the Motherboard (and I/O shield)
Place the chassis on an anti-static mat. Connect the chassis to ground to avoid static damage during
installation. Connect an alligator clip with a wire lead to any unpainted part of the chassis. Ground
the other end of the lead at the same point as the mat and the wristband.
Rotate the chassis so the front is to the right, and the rear is to the left. The side facing you is where
the motherboard is mounted. The power supply is mounted at the far end of the chassis.
Hold the motherboard with the component-side facing up. The printer, serial, VGA, LAN, and dual
USB ports should be to the left.
Step 4 Install the Motherboard (and I/O shield), Continued
Remove the I/O shield that is currently installed in the chassis if applicable. Locate the I/O shield
that came with the Olympus 2 and remove the extra metal plates that cover the openings for the
LAN, VGA, MIDI/Game, Audio Out, Line In, and MIC In ports. These ports are highlighted in gray
in the illustration below:
Locate the I/O shield label and remove the protective backing. Attach it to the I/O shield. Install the
Olympus 2 I/O shield into the chassis. Carefully slide the motherboard into the chassis. Make
certain the edge connectors fit the I/O shield port openings in the rear of the chassis. The
motherboard should rest level with the chassis.
Place the mounting screws in the holes provided and tighten them. If necessary, shift the
motherboard slightly to align the mounting holes on the motherboard with the holes on the chassis.
Step 5 Attach Internal Cables
Attach the IDE and Floppy cables from the board to your drives.
Connect the internal speaker to JP13.
Connect the front bezel Chassis LEDs to the JP4 Front Panel Connector.
Connect the power supply cable.
Step 6 Install Expansion Boards
Install your AGP and PCI expansion boards.
Close the chassis.
Step 7 Connect External Cables
Connect your mouse and keyboard.
Connect your USB devices.
Connect your VGA monitor.
Connect RJ45 LAN cable.
Connect your printer.
Step 8 Install Drivers
Install the software drivers.
Step 9 Test and Configure
Test the board and make sure the configurations are correct.
