7 Steps to Operation
6 P5000HX(-M)-WMB Series Motherboard Service Manual
Overview This section suggests basic precautions when handling the P5000HX(-M)-WMB series
motherboard.
Static
Electricity The P5000HX(-M)-WMB is designed to protect against ESD (electro-static discharge)
and excessive voltage. However, excessive static electricity can damage components.
Before you handle the motherboard, use the grounding wrist strap provided with the
system to discharge static electricity. Instructions for using the wrist strap are printed on
the strap's envelope.
Safety It is important to protect yourself and your equipment before you perform any of the
procedures outlined in this manual.
You should check the configuration before you install the motherboard. If the
motherboard is already installed in your system and you need to change the
configuration, power-off the system and disconnect all power cords from their source.
Follow all safety precautions as outlined by the chassis manufacturer.
Handling the P5000HX(-M)-WMB
Handle the motherboard by the edges to help prevent accidental damage
caused by static discharge (Figure 2).
To avoid damage or injury, always power-off the system and disconnect all power cords
from their source before handling the equipment.
To help prevent accidental damage caused by static discharge, use a grounding wrist
strap or other static-dissipating device when handling the equipment.
Um Sachschaden und Verletzung zu vermeiden, schalten Sie vor Arbeiten am Gerät
den Netzschalter aus, und ziehen Sie alle Stecker aus den Steckdosen.
Um unbeabsichtigte Schäden durch elektrostatische Entladung vorzubeugen, sollte bei
Arbeiten am System immer ein Erdungsarmband getragen oder andere
elektrostatische Entladungs-Vorsichtsmaßnahmen verwendet werden.
Only qualified, experienced electronics service personnel should access and handle
the equipment.
Es sollte nur qualifiziertes und erfahrenes Fachpersonal am System arbeiten.

8 P5000HX(-M)-WMB Series Motherboard Service Manual
Overview Before you connect any devices to the P5000HX(-M)-WMB or modify any settings,
install the motherboard into a chassis (Figure 3).
Procedure The procedure for installing the motherboard is outlined in the following table:
Step 1: Install the Motherboard
Step Action
1 Power-off the system and disconnect all power cords.
Note: Use a grounding wrist strap or other static-dissipating device when
accessing and handling the equipment.
2 Remove the chassis cover.
3 Detach the chassis stiffener bar (if required). This bar supports the frame of the
chassis.
4 Insert the motherboard into the chassis with the expansion slots oriented
toward the chassis I/O Slots and the power input headers toward the chassis
power supply.
5 Seat the motherboard on the mounting posts in the bottom of the chassis.
6 Secure the motherboard to the mounting braces by fastening screws through
the mounting holes on the motherboard.
7 Replace the chassis stiffener bar (if required).
To install the motherboard in a chassis not manufactured by Texas Micro,
consult the instructions provided by the manufacturer.
The CPU requires a minimum airflow of 200 linear feet per minute (LFM)
unimpeded across the processor within 0 to 55 °C (32 to 131 °F) ambient
temperature. Operations outside these specifications could void the warranty.
