Warning:

 Do not unpack the Motherboard from its anti-static

packaging until you are ready to install it.

Like most electronic equipment, your Motherboard may be damaged by

electrostatic discharge. To avoid permanent damage to components ground

yourself while working by using a grounding strap. Otherwise, ground

yourself frequently by touching the unpainted portion of the computer

chassis to drain the static charges.

Handle the Motherboard carefully, holding it by the edges.

You are now ready to start the installation.
