Static Electricity Precautions

Static electricity could damage components on this mainboard. 
Take the following precautions while unpacking this mainboard 
and installing it in a system.
1. Don’t take this mainboard and components out of their original

static-proof package until you are ready to install them.

2. While installing, please wear a grounded wrist strap if 

possible. If you don’t have a wrist strap, discharge static 
electricity by touching the bare metal of the system chassis.

3.

Carefully hold this mainboard by its edges. Do not touch those 
components unless it is absolutely necessary. Put this 
mainboard on the top of static-protection package with 
component side facing up while installing.

 

Pre-Installation Inspection

1. Inspect this mainboard whether there are any damages to 

components and connectors on the board.

2. If you suspect this mainboard has been damaged, do not 

connect power to the system. Contact your mainboard vendor 
about those damages.
