1-1 Safety Information
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.\
Static-Sensitive Devices
•
Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.
•
Touch a grounded metal object before removing the board from the anti-
static bag.
•
Handle the board by its edges only; do not touch its components, periph-
eral 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 ex-
cellent conductivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting
fasteners and the motherboard.
•
Use only the correct type of onboard CMOS battery as specified by the
manufacturer. Do not install the onboard battery upside down to avoid
possible explosion.
