ESD Precautions
The boards have integrated circuits sensitive to static electricity. To avoid damaging chipsets
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 will help to discharge any static electricity on a
human body.
◼When handling boards and components, wear a grounding wrist strap available from
most electronic component stores.

1.6 Switch Settings & Wafer connector
Properly configure switch settings on the MVS100 to meet your application purpose. Below
you can find a summary table of switch and onboard default settings.
1.6.1 AT/ATX Mode & Clear CMOS Optimal Defaults (SW1)
If AT/ATX switch is set to AT mode, the system will be automatically powered on without
pressing soft power button during power input; we can use this switch to achieve auto power
on demand.
Set the switch to OFF for a few seconds then move it back to ON. Doing this procedure can
clear BIOS optimal defaults.
