Static-Sensitive Devices

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

age 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 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 speciﬁed by the

•

manufacturer. Do not install the onboard battery upside down 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.
