    IMB-9454G Motherboard 4.1 Anti-static Precautions Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components, including the IMB-9454G. (Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD.) It is therefore critical that whenever the IMB-9454G (or any other electrical component) is handled, the following anti-static precautions are strictly adhered to.

  • Page 75: Unpacking

    IMB-9454G Motherboard When installing or configuring the motherboard, place it on an antistatic pad. This helps to prevent potential ESD damage. Turn off all power to the IMB-9454G When working with the motherboard, make sure that it is disconnected from all power supplies and that no electricity is being fed into the system. Before and during the installation of the IMB-9454G DO NOT: remove any of the stickers on the PCB board.
