Section 1: Introduction M54E2 Quick Installation We know that many experienced people prefer to read as little of the docu- mentation as possible. If this sounds like you, here’s the short form: 1. Make backup copies of your installation and configuration diskettes. 2. Ground yourself to prevent damaging static discharge, then remove the M54E2 from its packaging. 3. Configure and verify the system board’s jumper settings. (See Jumper Settings in Chapter 2). 4. Install the CPU and the system memo

Section 1: Introduction 8. Set the time and date. Adjust the BIOS settings to match your configuration. If installing an IDE drive, select the IDE device you wish to configure. Press with Autotype Fixed Disk selected and the BIOS will automatically configure the drive for you (see Chapter 4). 9. After you have configured the Main Setup menu, make any desired setting configurations in the Advanced and Security menu. When finished, go to the exit screen, select “Save Changes and Exit”

Section 2: Configuring the M54E2 Configuring the M54E2 2 Although the M54E2 system board is packaged in protective materials, it is important to use care while unpacking and setting up. Static Electricity The M54E2 is shipped from the factory in an antistatic bag. To reduce the possibility of damage, it is important to neutralize any accumulated static charges on your body before handling the board. The best way to do this is to ground yourself using a special wrist or ankle strap. If you do no
