Warning
Modules are Electrostatic Sensitive. A small electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage computer
components. An ESD damaged module or PCI card might not fail immediately, but over time it could
become worse, possibly causing an intermittent problem. Be very careful to handle the module or
PCI card ONLY by the edges. DO NOT touch the gold/silver edge-connectors or any of the
components on the system board. Leave the module or PCI card in the antistatic bag until you are
ready to install it.

Caution
The motherboard conforms to the new PCI 2.2 specification. This requires 3.3v standby for all PCI
slots, DIMM banks, and PS/2 outputs (KB/PS/2 Mouse). Remember to unplug the AC power cord
before adding any PCI cards, memory, or plugging / unplugging the keyboard or mouse. Otherwise,
the system may automatically power up when adding the component. This could also damage the
motherboard or the component you are adding and is not covered under warranty.
