INSTALLATION
Static Precautions
Static electricity can be a serious danger to the electronic components on this mainboard. To
avoid damage caused by electrostatic discharge, observe the following precautions:
ü
Don’t remove the mainboard from its anti-static packaging until you are ready to install
it into a computer case. Also, handle add-in cards and modules by the edges or mounting
bracket.
ü
Before you handle the mainboard in any way, touch a grounded, anti-static surface, such
as an unpainted portion of the system chassis, for a few seconds to discharge any built-
up static electricity.
Installing the CPU
Your mainboard features “SLOT 1” architecture, a modular design that can
accommodate the latest Intel® Pentium® III, Pentium® II and Celeron®
