2-1 Static-Sensitive Devices

Electric Static Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. 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.

Precautions

• 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.

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.

Installation Procedures

Follow the procedures as listed below for full installation of the motherboard

into a chassis:

1. Install the processor and the heatsink to the motherboard.

2. Install the motherboard in the chassis.
