Step 1 Unpack The Motherboard - American Megatrends Olympus Pentium II PCI ISA Manual

Step 1 Unpack the Motherboard

Step
1 Inspect the cardboard carton for obvious damage. If damaged,
call 770-246-8645. 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.
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.
