This is an ATX form factor motherboard. Before you install the motherboard, study 
the configuration of your chassis to ensure that the motherboard fits into it.

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 
components. Failure to do so may cause physical injuries 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 over-
tighten the screws! Doing so may damage the motherboard.
