2-1 Handling the S2QR6/S2QE6 Motherboard
Static electrical discharge can damage electronic components. To prevent
damage to any printed circuit boards (PCBs), it is important to handle them
very carefully. Also note that the size and weight of the S2QR6/S2QE6
motherboard system board can cause it to bend if handled improperly,
which may result in damage. To prevent the S2QR6/S2QE6 motherboard
from bending, keep one hand under the center of the board to support it
when handling. The following measures are generally sufficient to protect
your equipment from static discharge.
Precautions
• Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.
• Touch a grounded metal object before removing any board from its anti-
static bag.
• Handle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components, periph-
eral chips, memory modules or gold contacts.
• When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.
• Put the motherboard, add-on cards and peripherals back into their anti-
static bags when not in use.
• For grounding purposes, make sure your computer chassis provides ex-
cellent conductivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting
fasteners and the motherboard.
Unpacking
The motherboard is shipped in antistatic packaging to avoid static electrical
damage. When unpacking the board, make sure the person handling it is
static protected.
