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.
