Chapter 1-Safety

1-1 Safety Information

Electric Static Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic com ponents.

To prevent damage to your system board, it is important to handle

it very carefully. The following measures are generally suffi cient to

protect your equipment from ESD.\

Static-Sensitive Devices

• Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.

• Touch a grounded metal object before removing the board from the antistatic

bag.

• Handle the board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral

chips, memory modules or gold contacts.

• When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.

• Put the motherboard and peripherals back into their antistatic bags when not in

use.

• For grounding purposes, make sure your computer chassis provides excellent

conductivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners and

the motherboard.

• Use only the correct type of onboard CMOS battery as specifi ed by the manu-

facturer. Do not install the onboard battery upside down to avoid possible explo-

sion.
