qStatic Electricity Precautions

Components on this mainboard can be damaged by static electricity. Take the following precautions when unpacking the mainboard and installing it in a system.

1.Keep the mainboard and other components in their original static-proof packaging until you are ready to install them.

2.During installation, wear a grounded wrist strap if possible. If you don’t have a wrist strap, discharge static electricity by touching the bare metal of the system chassis.

3.Handle the mainboard carefully by the edges. Avoid touching the components unless it is absolutely necessary. During installation put the mainboard on top of the static-protection packaging it came in with the component side facing up.
