Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard compo
nents or change any motherboard settings.
1.
Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching
any component.
2.
To avoid damaging the motherboard components due to static
electricity, NEVER place your motherboard directly on the
carpet or the like. Also remember to use a grounded wrist
strap or touch a safety grounded object before you handle
components.
3.
Hold components by the edges and do not touch the ICs.
4.
Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded
antistatic pad or in the bag that comes with the component.
Before you install or remove any component, ensure that the power
is switched off or the power cord is detached from the power
supply.
Failure to do so may cause severe damage to the motherboard,
peripherals, and/or components.
