Before You Begin

Before you begin to install your P6VAP-Me mainboard, take some
precautions to ensure that you avoid the possibility of damage to the
product from static electricity. Ensure too that you are installing the
mainboard into a suitable case.

Static Electricity

In adverse conditions, static electricity can accumulate and discharge
through the integrated circuits and silicon chips on this product. These
circuits and chips are sensitive and can be permanently damaged by
static discharge.

If possible wear a grounding wrist strap clipped to a safely
grounded device during the installation.

If you don't have a wrist strap, discharge any static by touching
the metal case of a safely grounded device before beginning the
installation.

Leave all components inside their static-proof bags until they are
required for the installation procedure.

Handle all circuit boards and electronic components carefully.
Hold boards by the edges only. Do not flex or stress circuit
boards.
