Pre-installation Precautions
Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard components
or change any motherboard settings.
1.
Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any component.
2.
To avoid damaging the motherboard components due to static electricity, NEVER
place your motherboard directly on the carpet or the like. Also remember to use
a grounded wrist strap or touch a safety grounded object before you handle
components.
3.
Hold components by the edges and do not touch the ICs.
4.
Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded antistatic pad or
in the bag that comes with the component.
Before you install or remove any component, ensure
that the power is switched off or the power cord is
detached from the power supply. Failure to do so may
cause severe damage to the motherboard, peripherals,
and/or components.
