Upgrading and ESD precautions
Page - 5 - of 21

WARNING
Unplug the system before carrying out the procedures described in this document.
Failure to disconnect power before you open the system can result in personal
injury or equipment damage. Hazardous voltage, current, and energy levels are
present in this product. Power switch terminals can have hazardous Voltages
present even when the power switch is off.
The procedures assume familiarity with the general terminology associated with
personal computers and with the safety practices and regulatory compliance
required for using and modifying electronic equipment.
Do not operate the system with the cover removed. Always replace the cover
before turning on the system.
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this computer may not correspond with the coloured
markings identifying the terminals in your plug proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured green-and-yellow must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is
marked by the letter E or by the safety Earth symbol Ωor coloured green or green-and-yellow.
The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or
coloured black.
The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or
coloured red.
Make sure you are earthed and free of static charge before you open the computer case. If you are
unsure about upgrading your computer, return it to Viglen so a qualified engineer can perform the
upgrade.
CAUTION!
The Viglen D965GF motherboard
and associated components are
sensitive electronic devices. A small
static shock from your body can
cause expensive damage to your
equipment.
Make sure you are earthed and free of static charge before you open the
computer case. If you are unsure about upgrading your computer, return it to
Viglen so a qualified engineer can perform the upgrade.
STEPS TO TAKE TO PREVENT STATIC DISCHARGE:
Page - 6 - of 21

1. The best way to prevent static discharge is to buy an anti-static strap from
your local electrical shop. While you are wearing the strap and it is earthed,
static charge will be harmlessly bled to ground.
2. Do not remove the component from its anti-static protective packaging until
you are about to install it.
3. Hold boards by the edges - try not to touch components / interface strips
etc.
Note:
We recommend that you return your computer to the service department for
upgrading. Any work carried out is fully guaranteed. Upgrades should only be
carried out by persons who are familiar with handling IC's, as incorrect
installation will invalidate the guarantee.

•Back Panel Connectors 5.1 SigmaTel audio STAC9227
The Motherboard external IO connectors are attached to a metallic I/O shield.
This shield serves several purposes:
Page - 8 - of 21

•It protects the sensitive Motherboard from any external EMC interference.
•It stops the computer from interfering with other electrical devices.
•It allows the Motherboard to be easily upgraded in the future without
having to resort to buying a whole new case. Simply change the I/O shield
to match the Motherboard.
The I/O shield provides external access to onboard VGA port, Parallel Port,
six USB connectors as well as one LAN Port and audio connectors.
