Static Electricity Precautions
Components on this mainboard can be damaged by static electricity.

installing it in a system.
1. Keep the mainboard and other components in their original static -

don't have a wrist strap, discharge static electricity by touching the
bare metal of the system chassis.
3. Handle the mainboard carefully by the edges. Avoid touching the
components unless it is absolutely necessary. During installation
put the mainboard on top of the static -protection packaging it came
in with the component side facing up.
Pre-Installation Inspection
Inspect the mainboard for damage to the components and
connectors on the board.
If you suspect that the mainboard has been damaged, do not

report the damage.
