1-3 ESD Safety Guidelines Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.
Keep all components and printed circuit boards (PCBs) in their antistatic
bags until ready for use.
Touch a grounded metal object before removing the board from the antistatic bag.
Do not let components or PCBs come into contact with your clothing, which may
retain a charge even if you are wearing a wrist strap.
Touch a grounded metal object before removing the board from the antistatic
bag.
Handle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral
chips, memory modules or 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 excel-
lent conductivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting
fasteners and the motherboard.
Electric Static Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic com-
ponents. To prevent damage to your system board, it is
important to handle it very carefully. The following measures are
generally sufficient to protect your equipment from ESD.
1-4 Operation Safety GuidelinesWarning: For proper cooling, make sure to install all
chassis covers before turning on the system. If this rule is
not strictly followed, warranty may become void. Do not open
