1.3 Before you Proceed
Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard
components or change any motherboard settings.
Caution! 1. Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before
touching any component.
2. Use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safely
grounded object or a metal object, such as the
power supply case, before handling components to
avoid damaging them due to static electricity.
3. Hold components by the edges to avoid touching
the ICs on them.
4. Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on
a grounded antistatic pad or in the bag that came
with the component.
5. Before you install or remove any component,
ensure that the ATX power supply is switched off or
the power cord is detached from the power supply.
Failure to do so may cause severe damage to the
motherboard, peripherals, and/or components.
