Installation

2-1 Static-Sensitive Devices

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic com ponents. To prevent dam-

age to your system board, it is important to handle it very carefully. The following

measures are generally sufcient to protect your equipment from ESD.

Precautions

• Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge or touch a

grounded metal object before removing the board from the antistatic bag. Handle

the board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral 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 excellent

conductivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners and

the motherboard.

• Use only the correct type of onboard CMOS battery as specied by the manu-

facturer. Do not install the onboard battery upside down to avoid possible explo-

sion.

Unpacking

The motherboard is shipped in antistatic packaging to avoid static damage. When

unpacking the board, make sure the person handling it is static protected.

2-2 Motherboard Installation

Note: Be sure to mount the motherboard into the chassis before you install the

CPU onto the motherboard.

All motherboards have standard mounting holes to t different types of chassis.

Make sure that the locations of all the mounting holes for both motherboard and

chassis match. Make sure that the metal standoffs click in or are screwed in tightly.

Then use a screwdriver to secure the motherboard onto the motherboard tray.

Note: Some components are very close to the mounting holes. Please take

precautionary measures to preve nt damage to these components when installing

the motherboard to the chassis. To avoid damaging the motherboard and its

components, please do not use a force greater than 8 lb/inch on each mounting

screw during motherboard installation.
