Computer motherboards and expansion cards contain very delicate Integrated Circuit (IC) chips. To protect
them against damage from static electricity, you should follow some precautions whenever you work on your
computer.
1. Unplug your computer when working on the inside.
2. Use a grounded wrist strap before handling computer components. If you do not have
one, touch both of your hands to a safely grounded object or to a metal object, such as
the power supply case.
3. Hold components by the edges and try not touch the IC chips, leads or connectors, or
other components.
4. Place components on a grounded antistatic pad or on the bag that came with the
components whenever the components are separated from the system.
5. Ensure that the ATX power supply is switched off before you plug in or remove the ATX
ower connector on the motherboard.
If the motherboard has mounting holes, but they don't line up with the holes on the base and there are no
slots to attach the spacers, do not become alarmed you can still attach the spacers to the mounting holes. Just
cut the bottom portion of the spacers (the spacer may be a little hard to cut off, so be careful of your hands).
In this way you can still attach the motherboard to the base without worrying about short circuits. Sometimes
you may need to use the plastic springs to isolate the screw from the motherboard PCB surface, because
the circuit wire may be near by the hole. Be careful, don't let the screw contact any printed circuit write or
parts on the PCB that are near the fixing hole, otherwise it may damage the board or cause board
malfunctioning.
