Follow these safety precautions when installing the mainboard:
Wear a grounding strap attached to a grounded device
to avoid damage from static electricity.
Discharge static electricity by touching the metal case
of a safely grounded object before working on the
mainboard.
Leave components in the static-proof bags they came
in.
Hold all circuit boards by the edges. Do not bend cir-
cuit boards.
