Chapter 2: Setting Up
2.0.1 Work Area
Make sure you have a stable, clean working environment. Dust and dirt
can get into components and cause malfunctions. Use containers to
keep small components separated. Putting all small components in
separate containers prevents them from becoming lost. Adequate
lighting and proper tools can prevent you from accidentally damaging
the internal components.
2.0.2 Tools
The following procedures require only a few tools, including the
following:

A cross head (Phillips) screwdriver

A grounding strap or an anti-static pad
Most of the electrical and mechanical connections can be disconnected
with your hands. It is recommended that you do not use pliers to remove
connectors as it may damage the soft metal or plastic parts of the
connectors.
Caution!
1. To avoid damaging the motherboard and associated
components, do
not use torque force greater than
7kgf/cm (6.09 lb/in) on each mounting screw for
motherboard installation.
2.
Do not apply power to the board if it has been
damaged.
