Unpacking the Motherboard
Chapter 4 Installation

Step
1
Inspect the cardboard carton for obvious damage. If
damaged, call Technical Support at 404-246-8600. Leave
the motherboard in its original packing.
2
Perform all unpacking and installation procedures on a
ground-connected anti-static mat. Wear an anti-static
wristband, grounded at the same point as the anti-static mat
or use a sheet of conductive aluminum foil grounded
through a 1 megohm resistor instead of the anti-static mat.
Similarly, a strip of conductive aluminum foil wrapped
around the wrist and grounded through a 1 megohm resistor
serves the same purpose as the wristband.
3
Inside the carton, the motherboard is packed in an
anti-static bag and sandwiched between sheets of sponge.
Remove the sponge and the anti-static bag. Place the
motherboard on a grounded anti-static surface component
side up. Save the original packing material in case of
reshipment.
4
Inspect the motherboard for damage. Press down on all ICs
mounted in sockets to verify proper seating. Do not apply
power to the motherboard if it has been damaged.
5
If the motherboard is undamaged, it is ready to be installed.
