2-1 Static-Sensitive Devices

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

vent damage 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.

• 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. Do not install the onboard

upside down battery to avoid possible explosion.

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.
