Avoid Static Electricity
Static electricity can damage the motherboard and other computer components.
Keep the motherboard in the anti-static bag until it is to be installed. Wear an
anti-static wrist grounding strap before handling the motherboard. Make sure
you stand on an anti-static mat when handling the motherboard.
Avoid contact with any component or connector on any adapter card, printed
circuit board, or memory module. Handle these components by the mounting
bracket.
