1-4 HANDLING THE MOTHERBOARD
To avoid damage to your Motherboard, follow these simple rules while
unpacking:
Before handling the Motherboard, ground yourself by grasping an
unpainted portion of the system's metal chassis.
Remove the Motherboard from its anti-static packaging. Hold the
Motherboard by the edges and avoid touching its components.
Check the Motherboard for damage. If any chip appears loose, press
carefully to seat it firmly in its socket.
Warning : Do not apply power if the Motherboard appears damaged.
If there is damage to the board, contact your dealer immediately.
1-5 ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE PRECAUTIONS
Make sure to ground yourself before handling the Motherboard or other
system components. Electrostatic discharge can easily damage the
components. Note that you must take special precautions when handling the
Motherboard in dry or air-conditioned environment.
To protect your equipment from electrostatic discharge, take the following
precautions:
Do not remove the anti-static packaging until you are ready to install.
Ground yourself before removing any system component from its
protective anti-static packaging. (To ground yourself, grasp the
expansion slot covers or other unpainted portions of the computer
chassis.)
Frequently ground yourself while working or use a grounding strap.
Handle the Motherboard by its edges and avoid touching its components.
