Installing Hardware
The motherboard consists of a great number of ICs and other
components. These ICs are apt to be damaged by the static
charge. Therefore, the user must make the following prepara-
tions before formal installation:
1.
Turn off the power of the computer. It is preferable
the power cord be unplugged.
2.
Take care not to contact the metal wires and theirs
joints on the motherboard when handling it.
3.
It is preferable that the anti-static wrist strap be worn.
4.
Before the ICs are installed, the components of the
motherboard should be placed on the anti-static mat
or bag.
5.
When you remove the plug on the ATX power sup-
ply of the motherboard, make sure the switch of the
power supply is in OFF state.
Installing the motherboard onto the computer case:
For most of the computer cases, the multiple fixing holes left
on their bottoms can be used for securing the motherboard and
no short circuit can occur therefrom. During your operation,
take care not to allow the screws to contact any circuit or part
on PCB. When circuits on the surface of the motherboard get
close to the fixing holes, you can use the plastic sheet to sepa-
rate the screws from the board surface so as to avoid damage or
failure of the motherboard.
