2-1 Static-Sensitive Devices

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. To prevent dam- age to your system board, it is important to handle it very carefully. The following measures are generally suffi cient to protect your equipment from ESD.

Precautions

Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.

Touch a grounded metal object before removing the board from the antistatic bag.

Handle the board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral chips, memory modules or gold contacts.

When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.

Put the motherboard and peripherals back into their antistatic bags when not in use.

For grounding purposes, make sure your computer chassis provides excellent conductivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners and the motherboard.

Use only the correct type of onboard CMOS battery as specifi ed by the manufacturer. Do not install the onboard battery upside down to avoid possible explosion.

Unpacking

The motherboard is shipped in antistatic packaging to avoid static damage. When unpacking the board, make sure the person handling it is static protected.
