2.2 Pre-installation Precautions
Take note of the following precautions before installing motherboard components or
change any motherboard settings.
1. Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any components.
2. To avoid damaging the motherboard’s components due to static electricity, NEVER
place the motherboard directly on the carpet or the like. Also remember to use a
grounded wrist strap or touch a safety grounded object before handling the compo-
nents.
3. Hold components by the edges and do not touch the ICs.
4. Whenever uninstall any component, place it on a grounded anti-static pad or in the bag
that comes with the component.
5. When placing screws into the screw holes to secure the motherboard to the chassis,
please do not over-tighten the screws! Doing so may damage the motherboard.
Before installing or remove any component, ensure that the power is switched o or the
power cord is detached from the power supply. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to
the motherboard, peripherals, and/or components.
