Introduction
Static Electricity Warning!
The Gator Mini-ITX has been designed as rugged as possible but can still be damaged if jarred sharply or struck.
Handle the motherboard with care.
The Gator Mini-ITX also contains delicate electronic circuits that can be damaged or weakened by static electricity.
Before removing the Gator Mini-ITX from its protective packaging, it is strongly recommended that you use a
grounding wrist strap. The grounding strap will safely discharge any static electricity build up in your body and will
avoid damaging the motherboard. Do not walk across a carpet or linoleum floor with the bare board in hand.
