Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge
Static electricity can harm delicate components inside your system. To prevent
static electricity damage, discharge static electricity from your body before you
touch any of your motherboard electronic components, such as the microproces-
sor. Observe the following precautions:
- Do not removes the motherboard from its anti-static packaging until you are
ready to install it into a computer case.
- Before you handle the motherboard in any way, touch a grounded, antistatic
surface, such as an unpainted portion of the system chassis, for a few seconds
to discharge any built-up static electricity.
- Handle add-in cards and modules by the edges or mounting bracket.
