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, 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 com-

•

ponents such as a motherboard, CPU or memory. If you do not have an ESD wrist strap,

keepyourhandsdryandrst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 unplugging the power supply cable from the motherboard, make sure the power sup-

•

ply 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 hard-

•

ware 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

•

Do not place the computer system in a high-temperature environment.

•

Turning on the computer power during the installation process can lead to damage to sys-

•

tem components as well as physical harm to the user.

If you are uncertain about any installation steps or have a problem related to the use of the

•

product,pleaseconsultacertiedcomputertechnician.
