1-1 Installation Precautions
The motherboard contains numerous delicate electronic circuits and components
which can become damaged as a result of
electrostatic discharge (ESD). Prior to
installation, carefully read the user's manual and
follow these procedures:
• Prior to installation, make sure the chassis is suitable for the motherboard.
• Prior to installation, do not remove or
break motherboard S/N (Serial Number) sticker or
warranty sticker provided by your dealer. These stickers are required
for warranty validation.
• Always remove the AC power by unplugging the power cord from the power
outlet before installing or removing the motherboard or other hardware
components.
• When connecting hardware components to the internal connectors on the
motherboard, make sure they are connected tightly and securely.
• When handling the motherboard, avoid touching any metal leads or
connectors.
• It is best to wear an electrostatic
discharge (ESD) wrist strap when handling
electronic components such as a
motherboard, CPU or memory. If you do
not have an ESD wrist strap, keep your
hands dry and first touch a metal object
to eliminate static electricity.
• Prior to installing the motherboard, please have it on top of an antistatic pad
or within an electrostatic shielding container.
• Before connecting or unplugging the power supply cable from the
motherboard, make sure the power supply has been turned off.
• Before turning on the power, make sure the power supply voltage has been
set according to the local voltage standard.
• Before using the product, please verify that all cables and power connectors
of your hardware components are connected.
• To prevent damage to the motherboard, do not allow screws to come in
contact with the motherboard circuit or its components.
• Make sure there are no leftover screws or metal components placed on the
motherboard or within the computer casing.
• Do not place the computer system on an
uneven surface.
