Electrostatic Discharge Precautions - SOYO SY-6BB User Manual

Introduction

1-4 ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE PRECAUTIONS

Make sure to ground yourself before handling the motherboard or
other system components. Electrostatic discharge can easily
damage the components. Note that you must take special
precautions when handling the mainboard in dry or air-conditioned
environment.
To protect your equipment from electrostatic discharge, take the
following precautions:
Ø Do not remove the anti-static packaging until you are ready
to install.
Ø Ground yourself before removing any system component
from its protective anti-static packaging. (To ground yourself,
grasp the expansion slot covers or other unpainted portions
of the computer chassis.)
Ø Frequently ground yourself while working or use a
grounding strap.
Ø Handle the motherboard by its edges and avoid touching
its components.
