WARNING!
Computer motherboards and expansion cards contain very delicate Integrated Circuit (IC) chips. To
protect them against damage from static electricity, you should follow some precautions whenever you
work on your computer.
1.
Unplug y our computer w hen w orking on the inside.
2.
Use a grounded w rist strap before handling computer components. If y ou do not hav e
one, touch both of y our hands to a safely grounded object or to a metal object, such as
the pow er supply case.
3.
Hold components by the edges and try not touch the IC chips, leads or connectors, or
other components.
4.
Place components on a grounded antistatic pad or on the bag that came w ith the
components w henev er the components are separated from the sy stem.
5.
Ensure that the ATX pow er supply is sw itched off before y ou plug in or remov e the ATX
pow er connector on the motherboard.
Installing the motherboard to the chassis...
If the motherboard has mounting holes, but they don' t line up with the holes on the base and
there are no slots to attach the spacers, do not become alarmed y ou can still attach the spacers to
the mounting holes. Just cut the bottom portion of the spacers (the spacer may be a little hard to
cut off, so be careful of your hands). In this way y ou can still attach the motherboard to the base
without worrying about short circuits. Sometimes you may need to use the plastic springs to isolate
the screw from the motherboard PCB surface, because the circuit wire may be near by the hole. Be
careful, don' t let the screw contact any printed circuit write or parts on the PC B that are near the
fix ing hole, otherwise it may damage the board or cause board malfunctioning.
