HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

CAUTION
High potential static charge may cause damage to the integrated circuits on the board. Before
handling any mainboard outside of its protective packaging, ensure that there is no static
electric charge in your body.
Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent
type recommended by the manufacturer.
There are some basic precautions when handling the motherboard or other computer components:
♦ Keep the board in its anti-static bag until you are ready to install it.
♦ Protect your board from static electricity by well grounding of your body and the equipment during the
installation, such as wearing a grounded wrist strap.
♦ Always handle the board by its edges.
♦ Do not touch with the components on the boards, add-on cards and modules and with the "gold finger"
connectors plugged into the expansion slot. It is best to handle system components by their mounting
bracket.
♦ Ensure the system power is completely turn-off before doing any installation work.
