Energy Star Compliant System Board
Handling the System Board
It is quite easy to inadvertently damage your system
board even before installing it in your system unit.
Static electrical discharge can damage computer compo-
nents without causing any signs of physical damage. You
must take extra care in handling the system board to
ensure that no static build-up is present.
Tips in Handling the System Board
1) To prevent electrostatic build-up, leave the board in
its anti-static bag until you are ready to install it.
2) Do all preparation work on a static-free surface with
components facing up.
3) Hold the system board by its edges only. Be careful
not to touch any of the components, contacts or
connections, especially gold contacts on the board.
4) Avoid touching the pins or contacts on all modules
and connectors. Hold modules and connectors by
their edges.
