1-4 ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE PRECAUTIONS

Make sure to 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 environment.

To protect your equipment from electrostatic discharge, take the following precautions:

ØDo not remove the anti-static packaging until you are ready to install.

ØGround yourself before removing any system component from its protective anti-static packaging. (To ground yourself, grasp the expansion slot covers or other unpainted portions of the computer chassis.)

ØFrequently ground yourself while working or use a grounding strap.

ØHandle the mainboard by its edges and avoid touching its components.
