Before You Begin
Before you begin to install your mainboard, take care not to
damage 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.
