Pre-installation Precautions
Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard components or
change any motherboard settings.
•
Make sure to unplug the power cord before installing or removing the motherboard.
Failure to do so may cause physical injuries to you and damages to motherboard
components.
• In order to avoid damage from static electricity to the motherboard’s components,
NEVER place your motherboard directly on a carpet. Also remember to use a grounded
wrist strap or touch a safety grounded object before you handle the components.
•
Hold components by the edges and do not touch the ICs.
•
Whenever you uninstall any components, place them on a grounded anti-static pad or in
the bag that comes with the components.
•
When placing screws to secure the motherboard to the chassis, please do not overtighten
the screws! Doing so may damage the motherboard.
