How to install our products right...the first time.
Whats the first thing I should do?
The first thing you should do is read this users manual. It contains important information
which will make configuration and setup much easier.
Here are some precautions you should follow when installing your motherboard:
(1)
Ground yourself properly before removing your motherboard
from the antistatic bag.
Unplug the power from your computer
and then touch any metal part on the computer case. (Or wear a
grounded wrist strap.)
(2)
Hold the motherboard by its edges and do not touch the bottom of
the board.
(3)
Avoid touching motherboard components, IC chips, connectors,
and leads.
(4)
Avoid touching pins of memory modules and chips.
(5)
Place motherboard on a grounded antistatic surface or on the
antistatic bag.
Having reviewed the precautions above, the next step is to take the motherboard out of
the cardboard box and static bag, hold it by its edges, and place it on a grounded antistatic
surface, component side up. Inspect the board for damage.
DO NOT APPLY POWER TO THE BOARD IF IT HAS BEEN DAMAGED!
Press down on any of the socket ICs if it appears that they are not properly seated (the
board should still be on an antistatic mat). Do not touch the bottom of the board.
Remember, dont take any electronic device out of its protective bag until you are ready to
actually install it into the computer case. If you do not ground yourself, you risk zapping
the motherboard or adapter card. Subsequent problems may not arise immediately because
electrostatic discharge damage, unlike physical damage, causes the device to fail over time.
*Power Supply Requirement: ATX Power Supply should be 2.01 compliant.
