2.1 

Before you proceed

Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard components or change 

any motherboard settings.

• 

Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any component.

• 

Before handling components, use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safely grounded 

object or a metal object, such as the power supply case, to avoid damaging them due 

to static electricity.

• 

Hold components by the edges to avoid touching the ICs on them.

• 

Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded antistatic pad or in the 

bag that came with the component.

• 

Before you install or remove any component, ensure that the ATX power supply 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, or components.
