pressure on the label area of the fan. Also, do not place the
motherboard on a conductive surface, which can damage the

IMPORTANT: Always connect the power cord last and always remove it
before adding, removing or changing any hardware components.
sure that you install the processor into the CPU socket before you install
the CPU heat sink.
