Chapter Two : Hardware Installation 13
Step 1 Unpack the Motherboard
Step Action
1 Inspect the cardboard carton for obvious damage. If damaged, call 770-246-8600. Leave the motherboard in
its original packing.
2 Perform all unpacking and installation procedures on a ground-connected anti-static mat. Wear an anti-static
wristband grounded at the same point as the anti-static mat. Or use a sheet of conductive aluminum foil
grounded through a 1-megohm resistor instead of the anti-static mat. Similarly, a strip of conductive
aluminum foil wrapped around the wrist and grounded through a 1 megaohm resistor serves the same
purpose as the wristband.
3 Inside the carton, the motherboard is packed in an anti-static bag, and sandwiched between sheets of
packaging sponge. Remove the sponge and the anti-static bag. Place the motherboard on a grounded
anti-static surface component side up. Save the original packing material.
4 Inspect the motherboard for damage. Do not apply power to the motherboard if it has been damaged.
5 If the motherboard is undamaged, it is ready to be installed.
Avoid Electro-Static Discharge (ESD)
Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) will damage the motherboard and other system
components. Keep the motherboard in the anti-static bag until it is to be installed.
Wear an anti-static wrist-grounding strap before handling the motherboard. Make sure
you stand on an anti-static mat when handling the motherboard.
Avoid contact with any component or connector on any adapter card, printed circuit
board, or memory module. Handle these components by the mounting bracket.
