Product Introduction
Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard components or change any motherboard settings.
NOTE: The diagrams in this chapter are for reference only. The motherboard layout may vary with models.
IMPORTANT! Components shown in this section may require additional purchase. Refer to Package contents section for more information about the contents of your Single Board Computer
package.
WARNING!
•Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any component.
•Before handling components, use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safely grounded object or a metal object, such as the power supply case, to avoid damaging them due to static electricity.
•Hold components by the edges to avoid touching the ICs on them.
•Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded antistatic pad or in the bag that came with the component.
•Before you install or remove any component, ensure that the power cord is detached from the power supply. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to the motherboard, peripherals, or components.
