ESD Precautions
Integrated circuits on computer boards are sensitive to static
electricity. To avoid damaging chips from electrostatic discharge,
observe the following precautions:
Do not remove boards or integrated circuits from their anti-static
packaging until you are ready to install them.
Before handling a board or integrated circuit, touch an unpainted
portion of the system unit chassis for a few seconds. This helps to
discharge any static electricity on your body.
Wear a wrist-grounding strap, available from most electronic
component stores, when handling boards and components.

Installation
This chapter describes the hardware installation procedures on the
STB86600 STX Evaluation Platform Base Board. The following is a list of
typical peripherals required to build a minimum system:
Power supply and passive STX Module
IBM™PC/AT keyboard
Display monitor
Floppy or hard disk with MS-DOS or Flash Disk emulator
3.1 Ultra DMA/66/100 Drive Installation
To accommodate the fast transfer rate of Ultra DMA/66/100, an 80-
conductor cable is necessary when installing Ultra DMA/66 drives.
The STX88810 Series, on this aspect, can support a total of 4 Ultra
DMA/66/100 drives (IDE2 from AXIOMTEK 41Pin connector). It is
through the Primary IDE Connectorand Secondary IDE Connector
where the cables are connected. The diagram below illustrates the
proper installation procedure, including color coding of connectors, of
the 80-conductor cable.
