Chapter 2: Installation

This is a Mini-ITX form factor motherboard. Before you install the mother- board, study the configuration of your chassis to ensure that the mother- board fits into it.

Pre-installation Precautions

Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard com- ponents or change any motherboard settings.

1.Make sure to unplug the power cord before installing or removing the motherboard. Failure to do so may cause physical injuries to you and damages to motherboard com- ponents.

2.In order to avoid damage from static electricity to the moth- erboard’s components, NEVER place your motherboard directly on a carpet. Also remember to use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safety grounded object before you handle the components.

3.Hold components by the edges and do not touch the ICs.

4.Whenever you uninstall any components, place them on a grounded anti-static pad or in the bag that comes with the components.

5.When placing screws to secure the motherboard to the chassis, please do not over-tighten the screws! Doing so may damage the motherboard.
