1.3 Electrostatic Discharge Precautions
Make sure you ground yourself before handling the mainboard or other
system components. Electrostatic discharge can easily damage the
components. Note that you must take special precautions when
handling the mainboard in dry or air-conditioned environments.
Take these precautions to protect your equipment from electrostatic
discharge:
• Do not remove the anti-static packaging until you are ready to install
the mainboard and other system components.
• Ground yourself before removing any system component from its
protective anti-static packaging. To ground yourself, touch the
expansion slot covers or other unpainted portions of the computer
chassis.
• Frequently ground yourself while working, or use a grounding strap.
• Handle the mainboard by the edges and avoid touching its
components.
